lyrics

Days grow short and lose distinction as time passes
I’m thinking of you now
I can’t put out the torch, it has to burn out on it’s own
So I pull out your old Maxell tapes and play some radio songs

And I scuff the kitchen floor with my Sunday shoes
like you and I used to do
Just before I fall apart
the blood in my head ends up in my heart

Old times old times weighing heavy on the mind
so I ditch my day job for a day and lock it all inside
Shining by the light of the stereo
Taping pop songs off the radio
I remember you in eighty-four
knocking it around to Purple Rain in the record store
Playing songs we can’t afford
now the tipping point has tipped and our fountain of youth has turned to shit

So I scuff the kitchen floor with my Sunday shoes
like you and I used to do
Just before I fall apart
the blood in my head ends up in my heart

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
