lyrics

I should've gone to sleep last night when the phone rang
cos you take a call when i'm talking to you
hey that's my brothers name
yeah i know my place in your world

but there's protection in ambiguity
i give you my space
while you're namedropping in coffee shops
and in the lines you trace
you carve your niche carefully
you leave no place there for me

in two star hotels and by riversides you wander
how can it be that in all this time i've wandered
i've never gotten close to being the person that
i want you to want me to be
so i take a call when you're talking to me

please close the door when you leave me
make a nice clean break
write thank you cards and close accounts
then be on your way
cos i know my place in your world
i've never been your kind of girl

in two star hotels and by riversides you wander
how can it be that in all this time i've wandered
i've never gotten close to being the person that
i want you to want me to be
so i take a call when you're talking to me

Real Hair
by Speedy Ortiz

Sadie has got to be my favorite guitarist (Tied with Stephen Malkmus). They put on an amazing, energetic live show. Thoughtful and powerful songwriting. Not a single Speedy song I don't like. Minutes from June

Soft Hair
by Soft Hair

I guarantee you will have "Relaxed Lizard" on repeat. It's ridiculously infectious. Minutes from June
go to album
Out of the Garden
by Tancred

I saw Tancred open for Speedy Ortiz, what an amazing show. Jess has a beautiful voice, and she can really shred. Such a full sound from a three piece band. Minutes from June
