about

This is the first song we played when the band came together and so makes a good opening song for the EP.

lyrics

I’ll never say goodbye
To what I left behind
I want more than I need
23 wishing I was 17

and I’ll never lose my mind
cause I never found it
it’s out where forever ends
El Salvador where the answer is in the wind

And maybe I like it,
When I start what I can’t even begin
When it gets sunny in the dark
I’ll ask myself

Who am I?
I don’t know

If we’re made to save the world
Make the internet work hard for you
Play with real electric girls
Get your kicks on the highway built for two

If time is on our side
Why does it keep us from staying alive?
Make children into men?
Make reverie into stand up citizens?

And maybe I like it,
When I start what I can’t even begin
When it gets sunny in the dark
I’ll ask myself

Who am I?
Who cares?

If it takes you cocaine
To find the holy in everything
Or a badge on your sleeve
To be all, all that you can be

And maybe I like it,
When I start what I can’t even begin
When it gets sunny in the dark
I’ll ask myself

Who am I?
