lyrics

I'm not sure if it's your saliva or mine, or a mixture of both, but it's been a long time and I'm
Bringing my lip-line up to my nose, oh so much more than one should and I suppose that
Though we speak lately of calling it quits, I'm still in love with much more than your spit and that
scares me more than I can admit, it's always been easy ways out
doubt replaces the fading traces of passion plays (so swiftly my way came) and
Pain, with a whimper, leaves just the same, heart barely broken, effecting nothing

but
this relationship has crumbled me crazy and
ideals fragmented, are falling away.
I've handed over too many pieces to put back together
the face that I would have needed to leave the one place where that
kind of strength
is not necessary

I know that we've been through all this before.
I hear that it's common when sharing same doors
to stop listening before we get bored -
a defense to being angry or ignored.
still I fix you with the blame, like noncommittally playing some game, and
I can imagine that I have become a shell of the partner whose heart you once won and
That must make you so sad
and I'm so sorry for that
it is I who am the hermit crab, whispering apologies
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...


How we doin'?
Are we doing okay?
I need some reassurance, so I'll always be
Checking in, probably every day-
Endless attention, whenever you need me.
Please let me stay here on your sidelines,
Guarding the safehouse, where you can lay down and
close your eyes, any time, all in return for the comfort of your kiss

because
this relationship has crumbled me crazy and
ideals fragmented, are falling away.
I've handed over too many pieces to put back together
the face that I would have needed to leave the one place where that
kind of strength
is not necessary -
Were I not convinced that you are where I want to be.

about

Be Brave Bold Robot Sacramento

"BE BRAVE is the sort of band who make me reconsider throwing in the towel every time I listen to their inventive pop masterpiece ‘Take A Deep Breath’. There are few occasions when you hear a band for the first time and know implicitly that you are going to love everything that they do. This is one of those bands."
