lyrics

Back when I told you goodbye
The never-ending city lights were beautiful
I wanted to drown in a hundred friends
Needed to hear a few more men call me beautiful

Now my camera’s full of pictures
Taken at the bar on Main
With some folks who think there’s two n’s in my name

So fly on down and save me now
Get me out of this godforsaken town
The lights go on forever
And I need you more than ever
So find me here and don’t look back
I’m a runaway train and you’re the right track
The lights go on forever
I wish that I’d known better
And I miss you

I get why folks watch late-night shows
People making a mess of themselves are beautiful
And changing pixels on my screen
Distract my head from thinking we were beautiful

But I went and lost that picture
That we took some years ago
’Cause my sneakers didn’t match your old green coat

(chorus)

There’s a nightmare I’ve been having for some time now
Where every single thing I touch turns into gold
You’ll come knocking and I’ll wrap my arms around you
Then I wake up shaking in the cold

(chorus x2)

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
