about

A dream-like meditation on stillness, written long before the events of 2020 conspired to force us to 'just stay here', the song depicts a mindful state and has been described as "enveloping and impenetrable from the outside", "a grown-up lullaby, a hug in a song."

lyrics

If you're damned if you do
And damned if you don't
Sit down beside me

I'll be damned if I'll move
And I can bet that you won't
So two wills collide

We could just stay here
We could just stay here

When you're walking the line
And your balance has gone
Fall over with me

We can breathe in and out
Until the end of the song
Shoulder to sleeve

We could just stay here
We could just stay here
We could just stay here
We could just stay here

I'm so sick of soul-searching middle-eights
Oh what catastrophe awaits us

For one minute or three
I am happy to be
No before, no after

Trying to bottle-up time
Our tempos align
A steady surprise
