lyrics

someone put this town through the car wash last night
the sunshine off the silver streets burns like soap in our eyes
day something out of something, still not a soul in sight
hey, can you hold me for a second?
thanks, continue, I'm all right

we always used to wonder
whether we'd have killed each other by now
well, now that we've found out

let's find a patch of grass
watch the sun take a bath
'til it drowns in the ocean's hopeless blue
my desert island companion
you can have the rest of my sandwich
and hey, I know I've been a handful
but I love you

smell of onions and cilantro, follow our noses... mmm, tacos
if food supplies run out there's always cannibalism, I suppose
but we've been chewing away at each other enough
the past few million years or so

and we always used to wonder
what books and music we might bring
well, I guess it never mattered

so let's find a patch of grass
watch the sun take a bath
'til it drowns as we sing these lonesome blues
my desert island companion
you're a mirror I never asked for
sometimes I'd like to smash you into pieces
and I love you
I love you
I love you

Siena Christie recommends:

The Winfield Sessions, Vol. 1
by The Starlight Darlins

I'm still floored that I get to be in the same band as Emily Johnson-Erday, Lauren Oxford, & Gray Buchanan. This is our first EP, recorded in one hour, in one take. Folky harmonies, honest songs. Siena Christie

Lauren Oxford
by Lauren Oxford

Lauren Oxford is one of the most compassionately honest & vulnerable songwriters I've ever heard. Her debut is nothing short of a masterpiece. Acoustic chamber folk, centered on Lauren's voice. Siena Christie

American Siren
by Emily Scott Robinson

This was the album that made me really fall head over heels for Emily Scott Robinson and her incredible writing. Her storytelling and crystalline voice are just transporting. Siena Christie
