lyrics

Stop pretending that you don't care
Italian sunglasses blocking that morning glare
It's your decision, it don't paint mine
I'll take the train to Howard Beach almost every time

Stop pretending that you don't care
I know it hurts you when you wake up and nobody is there
Still matchstick ashes on your eyelashes
Disrupt the Nassau station as everyone passes

Let’s not forget we're among friends
We don't wanna break those weekend plans
Just because it's coming easy doesn't mean it always will be
Let’s not forget we're among friends

Stop pretending that you don't care
Once a youth at risk now you're beyond repair
Now in soft focus, gross family portraits
You claim your daddy hit you but you know he didn't

Stop pretending that you don't care
Those armchair critics' crooked fingers poke and blow hot air
They know you had to hate where you came from
You left those patient ones behind for a reason

Let’s not forget we're among friends
We don't wanna break those weekend plans
Just because it's coming easy doesn't mean it always will be
Let’s not forget we're among friends

Stop pretending that you don't care
Brush those tangled strands from your bleach blonde hair
Those twisted pictures of just another day
What you don't realize
They only share what they wanna share either way

Stop pretending that you don't care
They only notice when you're kicking their boots in the air
So you're offended by their intentions
But the shelf life is short lived and that’s okay

Let’s not forget we're among friends
We don't wanna break those weekend plans
Just because it's coming easy doesn't mean it always will be
Lets not forget we're among friends

about

Oceanography image

Oceanography Oakland, California

Oceanography is the solo project of Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Kelly. He brings a unique pop sensibility to bittersweet songs of heartbreak, loss, and longing, recalling at times The War on Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and Damien Jurado. His literary eye for detail and deceptively powerful voice create moments of catharsis and beauty amid the bleak and mundane. ... more
