lyrics

She drank too much
threw her car keys off a cliff
and the moon looked so pretty
Dancing on the water
Not giving a shit

Said “it's no good, it’s falling apart,
If I can’t trust you
I can't trust myself
And sure can't trust my heart”

But the moon don’t care
Bout an old moon
Silhouettes on the walls
Singing out of tune

There's a house by the river
Down a gravel road
And every sunday I sit
where the sun hits the window
And there's a mirror of my mothers
Covered by a drape
But I never peer in it
cause I know I’ll see her face

She followed the signs
Up the coast
She murmured her regrets
She mourned her woes
Said “it's no good, it can't be true,
If I can't trust my heart
I can't trust myself
And sure as hell can't trust you”

She woke up alone
To a full moon
Silhouettes on the walls
Dancing round the room

There's a house by the river
Down a gravel road
And every sunday I sit
where the sun hits the window
And there's a mirror of my mothers
Covered by a drape
But I never peer in it
cause I know I’ll see her face (x2)

She drank too much
threw her car keys off a cliff
and she looked so pretty
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water
Looking like my mother

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.
