I should have known better
But I was old enough to try
Out of all the things I remember
Matter of fact, my whole life
The print on my girlfriend’s bed
The sound of her parent’s tv
What I gained in love
What I expected to be
Let it all...
She should have been better
So we closed our eyes
My hands underneath her sweater
My heart between her eyes
Smile from across the room
The turn of the page
The things that we wanted to do
The changes that came
Let it all wash over my life
Smile from the across the room
The powers that Bleed
The things that she wanted to do
All she expected from me
Let it all wash over my life
When I think on it, I start to realize
Today’s promise, tomorrow’s black eye
When I think on that, it hurts my insides
Seeing my life through her eyes
When I look back on the whole of my life
What have I done?
In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
A beautiful and criminally underrated album, complete with utterly unique lyrics, ethereal guitar, and stunning bass work. The soundtrack to some very, very good years. wack_jilliams
Tense post-punk from Big Supermarket, “1800” threads bent-wire guitars through blinking keys and dead-eyed vocal lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2018
