Last of all the soldier To leave her kind behind Empty glasses become a cathedral When you let the light in Am I really going to let the darkness win again tonight Let me sleep I’ll be back on top in a week I wrote a script and titled it Beverly and Barbara Do LA Baby there’s no room to try the new things You never taught me how to hold em’ and when to fold the cards I’m spinning a thousand plates in the air at the same time Make me strong Let me sleep I’ll be back on top in a week I wrote a script and titled it Beverly and Barbara Do LA How am I still standing Do you just say the first thing that comes into your mind You can’t save me You can’t save me No one can save me from myself But you’re right I gotta leave some things behind Babe you gotta leave this here Let me sleep I’ll be back on top in a week I wrote a script and titled it Beverly and Barbara Do LA Let me sleep I’ll be back on top in a week I wrote a script and titled it Beverly and Barbara Do LA Mama you gotta leave some things behind Girl you gotta leave some things behind Baby you gotta leave some things behind

The way it goes back together again The way it goes back You're the worst You're the worst Ah The worst thing you can do is nothing at all One step at a time straight up a wall I'm crawling out my skin Ah I'm crawling out of a burned down house Can we get back together again Can we get back You're the worst One step at a time straight up a wall Because the worst thing you can do is nothing at all Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all For what What was it all What was it all for Absolutely endlessly I fall Absolutely endlessly I fall You're the worst You're the worst Ah You're the worst Mmm The worst thing you can do is nothing at all Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all The worst thing you can do is nothing at all Yeah the worst thing you can do is nothing at all You're the worst

Stuck In The Middle With You 02:10

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep this smile from my face Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Well, you started out with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends, they all come crawling Slap you on the back and say Please Please Trying to make some sense of it all But I can see it makes no sense at all Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor Cause I don't think that I can take anymore Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you

Magical Thinking 02:44
lyrics

Who thought it would end like this The great arbitrator in the sky did Waiting for you at the Arclight At the end of a date night Smelling like popcorn At the end of our relationship All of the nights Pretending that magically I’d be fine To close the door on the break up The truth always comes out in the morning Maybe if I break your heart as a warning I’m always trying to hold on It’s magical thinking I think I’m broken too and I’ll be broken for a long, long time I believe in redemption, but I don’t know if it applies to me I should have cancelled the subscription while the trial was free I needed a project And I didn’t want that project to be me And then you showed up You were bright as the light at the end of the tunnel So we started the drumroll And then I got hit by a truck The truth always comes out in the morning Maybe if I break your heart as a warning I’m always trying to hold on It’s magical thinking I think I’m broken too and I’ll be broken for a long, long time I wish I could wake up I wish I could wake up The truth always comes out in the morning Maybe if I break your heart as a warning I’m always trying to hold on It’s magical thinking Think I’m broken too. And I’ll be broken for a long, long time

Acapulco 02:41

She need a permanent vacation She told me a thousand times But I had the music on Sitting in the laptop light Going through some photographs Of people that I never liked And now I realize Now i realize I can’t do this without you All the time that you’re there Slipping through my hands again Falling back into the sand Acapulco Acapulco Baby moved to acapulco She told me a thousand times But i had the music on While she got her look just right I couldn’t even meet her eyes She took the next flight To Acapulco Acapulco I can’t do this without you All the time that you’re there Slipping through my hands again Falling back into the sand Acapulco Acapulco Acapulco

about

The Sometimes Island image

The Sometimes Island Los Angeles, California

If Daft Punk and Fleet Foxes had a lovechild, this band would disappoint its parents and be sent to boarding school for sounding like The 1975.

This is exactly what tropical indie-pop band The Sometimes Island are made of. Synth-heavy pop laced with introspective lyrics and bright, colorful sounds, it’s music you can both sway your hips to and appreciate both physically and intellectually. ... more
