lyrics

A snap at the cold

A tug at your shirt

A chill down your spine

You know this will hurt
Empty dark glass sits below in the dark

Don't run to the edge, your look feels…

Sit on the grain as it shifts and it grinds

Smash into cinder and say you'll be fine

Eves need a cleaning this much I know

Throw a punch, take a glance, I know it won't

Take your eyes off the ground to place them back in your skull

You're in control not bruised from the fall

Tug the cord so it guides falls in straight ahead

She'll forget all the gestures and hard times you

Said this won't hurt but it will catch off guard

In the night cut the cord the loose threads from your mind

A long empty walk

A garden unkempt

The tenses in which she’ll never accept

Go gently to good nights

A lover unkind

A snap in the cold

And a chill down your spine
Throw a punch take that glance
Sit on the grain

Just so you know
Just remember that:

I don't hate you cause I want to but I'm getting pretty good at it
And 
I don't hate you cause I have to but I think I’ve got the best of it
I don't hate you cause I want to but I'm getting pretty good at it
And 
I don't hate you cause I have to but I think I’ve got the best of it
(Please believe me that I love you and I want you
And I hope that someday you can forgive me to)

about

The Left Behinds Calgary, Alberta

A blend of folk, rock and acoustic music this band features good humour and tragic melancholy, often at the same time. Swirling guitars give way to indie drumbeats, and bombastic vocals trade off with gentle folk melodies in a way that is always unpredictable, yet somehow familiar. With a penchant for melodramatic crescendos, The Left Behinds are a band that refuses to be pinned down. ... more
