Try for a While

Seek the pride he finds sometimes
Searching for the right wrong
But now she's long gone
Why decide to change your mind?
Choose not to tell the truth
Lie for a high
Try for a while
Wear someone else's shoes
Pantomimes he makes sometimes
Talking just to feel strong
Without a head on
High on crowds that fill his mind

Runaway Strays

lay low hear a knock on your window
and you’re ready set go
jump down feel the grass on your backside
with a shiver they’d know/they already know/ with a shiver stand up
start the night with a race into twilight
ears to the sky
eight lives left after this one
yet shy in the headlights
hear my beating heart
under bleeding stars
will you make it far
hey runaway stray
hey run back to me
(don’t throw this life away)
wandered off, got so lost
comes at such a cost
last call, but you’re in it for the long haul
doors close behind you
two more eyes on the lookout
but they’re stuck on the ground
scared to see you barking up the wrong tree
as the alleys grow lonely
sleek coat shining as rain soaks
Flooding the way home
hear my beating heart
under bleeding stars
will you make it far
hey runaway stray
hey run back to me
(don’t throw this life away)
wandered off, got so lost
comes at such a cost
Lyrics by Meg Matthews and Lucy Horgan

The Lucky Ones
02:44

Counting down the days like a zero means change
Sleeve catching on the door
Heart stretching even more
Hard for me to say it’ll feel like a blink
Everything’s big to me
None of it’s what it seems
Don’t you cry
For goodbyes
Only tied
To a while
We’ll have time
For the highs
We’ll have time
For a while
Living for the moment morning can’t erase
Squeeze try to breathe you in
Take you with me in my skin
Running out of time ticking down to a lie
Breathe some sense to see
None of it’s what it seems
Tears fall from the eye of a storm
pounding with the hearts of the lucky ones
Our tears fall from cloud nine
Love we’re the lucky ones
Don’t you cry
For goodbyes
Only tied
To a while
We’ll have time
For the highs
We’ll have time
For a while

February

Been gone since February
March comes and that’s when I say
I’m not there but I’m not gone
From April to December
There’s one day I remember
I’m not there but I’m not gone
Half awake and all alone
February nights are so long
Each damn song you played
I know as well as your name
Been gone since February
Walk through these empty hallways
Blank like the space below your name
From now until whenever
I’ll listen for you better
Give me a sign and I’ll move on
Half awake and all alone
February nights are so long
Each damn song you played
I know as well as your name
I stare at my hands
Up in the air
I stare at my hands
Up in the air
Since then I’ve been
Up in the air
Half awake and all alone
February nights are so long
Each damn song you played
I know as well as your name

Fly
With the tire's thin cry
Fill it with our next wind
Five seconds to the mile
Dawn's
A slaughter on qualms
Ashes for the next song
We're off and on and gone
Nine steps closer
Eight states over
Tag you're bandit
Roll down the windows and shoot salutes
Road bumps fuel the jump
Keep changing lanes but we're here to stay
Tangos go five ways
Wait
An hour past late
Lost time hides in
Listless limbs
Smile
With the fire disguised
Tighter than nylon
Or fake a break with style
Nine steps closer
Eight states over
Tag you're bandit
Roll down the windows and shoot salutes
Road bumps fuel the jump
Keep changing lanes but we're here to stay
Tangos go five ways
Roll down the windows and shoot salutes
Road bumps fuel the jump
Keep changing lanes but we're here to stay
Tangos go five ways

Time Only Shows
02:29

Stacking crates to save for a rainy day
Built a fort and we called it a hideaway
Listen
The thunder grows distant
Crossing eyes I'll try til you crack a smile
If you cried I would stay til your tears were dry
Wishing
The clocks would go missing
Time only shows
Who I'd be without you
I don't know myself without you
Chasing birds lost in your favorite song
Heard the tune and I knew you would tag along
Listen
For truth within fiction
Climbing rocks that talk with their game face
From the top we could spy on the human race
Wishing
The clocks would go missing
Time only shows
Who I'd be without you
I don't know myself without you

Taken for Granted
03:04

no man’s sage advice
could change the fact that she defies
the distance that she’s bounded by
she says off the cuff
no letter would be long enough
to capture every word, so she sighs
although i know to quote
your words on the phone
call me cause I’m forgetting how
when I do take a fall
you’re the air that i’m granted
but if you were the ground
then i think i could land it
high times on his mind
needs the height that she provides
living within his inner eye
milestones go unknown
we will earn the time we’re owed
can’t let our youth pass us by
although i know to quote
your words on the phone
call me cause I’m forgetting how
when I do take a fall
you’re the air that i’m granted
but if you were the ground
then i think i could land it

The Boogie Man

Had one dance with the boogie man
Going to sleep I see his snazzy pants
He’s got style
And such moves
Real big feet
What size shoe?
Wanna dance
With the boogie man
Boogie oogie oogie
Everyone screams but I wanna see more
He is the fire bursting through the damn door
Dance all night
Shirt so tight
Tapping hard
Floor fell through
Wanna dance
With the boogie man
Boogie oogie oogie
Wanna dance
With the boogie man
Get on the floor
Give me some more
Boogie oogie
Boogie boo
Boogie oogie boo
Lyrics by Ariana Bowe, Lucy Horgan, Meg Matthews, and Jackson Lewis.

Shadows You Turn To
03:33

He lives unafraid
with wide eyes and virtue
An innocent age
Is where he takes refuge
Say what you may
The dark could astound you
The shadows you make
Are friends you may look to
As he falls asleep
It crawls from beneath
Just take a peek--oh no, oh no!
Grab hold of its hand
Together they dance
till the night ends--oh no, oh no!
the silhouettes
Of monsters awakened
Are under his bed
With curious questions
They’d play their games
an unlikely friendship
It’s all make believe
Is what they would tell him
As he falls asleep
It crawls from beneath
Just take a peek--oh no, oh no!
Grab hold of its hand
Together they dance
till the night ends--oh no, oh no!

Still Clean is a close second for favorite track, this album is one of my favorites of all time. It brings me back to reality while making me feel greater than I could ever be.

Such a pretty album. Everything about this album is just fantastic and entertaining and catchy. Music, voice and lyrics that all feel heartbroken, yet loving. I hope the band keeps making stuff like this.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Squeeze”
I was listening to WCDB (Albany, NY) in 2019 when they played “Sophisticated Space” and I had to Google the lyrics before the song slipped from my brain. (I didn’t have Shazam yet.) I’ve been on the Gish hook ever since. There’s so much packed into this album that rewards multiple listens: delicately balanced harmonies, slow-burn lyrical comedy, understated but cutting emotional resonance, and a palette of guitar and synth tones to rival 2000s Kevin Barnes.

Mostly written & recorded during lockdown, the latest from Oregon group Corvair is big on early ’80s FM rock hooks & power pop charm.
