lyrics

Patterns in the stories that I’ve read
Make me call to a savior, I’ve only listened but never said
You were naked in my mind and left a hunger unsatisfied
I swear you wanted nothing more but to see
If we could last
Through it all

There’s something in the way that you say it will be all right
That plants roots into the ground
It’s not another image made to bleed out in the rain
It’s stronger than a sound
But will we last
Through it all

In the process of sanitation I’d forgotten which way my feet had walked
I swear I only heard but never talked
I danced into the fire of the night
Laughter burning just in spite
No one dared to come down
To fast
From it all

There’s something in the way that you say it will be all right
That plants roots into the ground
It’s not another image made to bleed out in the rain
It’s stronger than a sound
But will we last
Through it all

It’s only working if we dare
And I’m scared of this bullshit, but I won’t just lay down anywhere
My loneliness creeps in with every perfect time
Reminding me that you’re not here, to which I’m very blind
Very blind, very blind

There’s something in the way that you say it will be all right
That plants roots into the ground
It’s not another image made to bleed out in the rain
It’s stronger than a sound
There’s something in the way that you say it will be all right
That plants roots into the ground
It’s not another image made to bleed out in the rain
It’s stronger than a sound
Stronger than a sound….
Stronger than a sound….

Don’t be fooled: at a collective height of 22’9” Small Joys has a sound as big as your mother is sweet. Bringing a contemporary and assertive twist to the age-old musings of life and song, lyricist Olivia Awbrey combines the intimacy of Frank Turner's storytelling with Springsteen-like theatrics. A mix of acoustic heart and electric soul will carry you through tales of love, loss, history and home ... more
