lyrics

Everybody’s busy driving by
with expensive teeth straight and white
While the trains may run on time
my loose ends remain untied
Wasted days turn to wasted nights
I need to recognize convenience when it strikes
Calm rivers turn to rapids over rocks
Bow ribbons aren’t bow ribbons without knots

Why not take what you need for the summer time
before it’s too late to come running back for more
I may not want to be there to welcome you
but you know what you need better than I do

I know there’s nothing left for us to say
so keep your head turned away
I hope the cyclone fence on you fingertips
keeps you company as you walk hip to hip
I know we’re looking out for absolutes
What we depend on has turned for the worse
Calm rivers turn to rapids over rocks
Bow ribbons aren’t bow ribbons without knots

Why not, take what you need for the summer time
before it’s too late to come running back for more
I may not want to be there to welcome you
but you can get what you need one more time

Why not, take what you need for the summer time
before it’s too late to come running, back for more
I may not want to be there to welcome you
I have my needs to consider and they won’t let me go

about

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
