I found myself in a new city
I met you again fortuitously
And you
Quickly put yourself into my sights
I fell so hard my friends swore I was blind
And now
I’m lovesick and sunburned
And summer’s only beginning
I’ve done many foolish and hurtful things
Twisted myself up into the sheets
With guilt
And I’ve let loathsome men into my life
Who smothered me with jealousy and pride
But you
Seem so cool in all that you do
To make me feel like a lady
I wish you would hold me in your arms
Like the night we made out on Belle Isle
I know there won’t always be fireworks
But we saw them that night for a while
I know that I’m very new in town
And I’m so scared my past will run me down
For good
But when I see you looking back at me
I think you see the girl I want to be
And for now
This bitter earth Is suddenly worth all the trouble
We danced to that song twice in a row
And I can’t let go all that easy
Toronto rivals San Francisco as the North American capital of jangle pop as evidenced by this new record of sunny jams from the Motorists. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
