lyrics

I reach out with both my arms but the gesture stops and finishes
We spent the night years at a time and you almost convinced me that you're innocent
Taking the fall and bailing you out
These are things I'm going to miss
Your picture's not on the wall cause that's where that's where the writing is

Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Telling you the ending... would that make it easier
Cuz the silence never tells me where to stop
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb

Sprawled out I'm in a bag with an outline where I used to be
This gentleman will take you back and make sure you have a place to sleep
Holding my breath till I pass out
Carrying on like I don’t exist
Your picture's not on the wall cause that's where that's where the writing is

Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Telling you the ending... would that make it easier
Cuz the silence never tells me where to stop
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb

Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Cuz the silence never tells me where to stop
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb
Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Telling you the ending... would that make it easier?
Cuz the silence never tells me where to stop
I can tell you where it ends
I can tell you where it ends
I can tell you where it ends
My phantom limb

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
