Forgotten Highways
The remains of a love that withered and died lying silently side by side
The days grow around them collecting the time
Two old cars with worn parts we can’t seem to find
Too locked down for leaving too stable to fall
Just waiting for the weather (whether) or not you’ll notice at all
Dig us out of this patch we’ve grown into
I don’t want to stay here for the rest of my days
Shake off the rust and let’s rebuild our engines
And go find ourselves on forgotten highways
When all of the paths have become familiar
And all of the laughter is saddled with sighs
A left turn can help you find what you’re after
Before you stall and get buried by the wild berry vines
Dig us out of this patch we’ve grown into
I don’t want to stay here for the rest of my days
Shake off the rust and let’s rebuild our engines
And go find ourselves on forgotten highways
Don’t forget what you are even when you get tired
And you’re feeling the burden of all of the miles
You carried the weight of our love within you
And we depended upon you like a helpless child

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
