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.

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
