about

Lead single from new album, New Kind of Familiar (due in May, 2024)

lyrics

Blue parachutes
Extend the night to day
These dotted routes
Can hit you like a maze
New morning sun
Glints on a cross track wire
And when did you become
A source of friendly fire
Friendly fire

Up on the hill
Brick crumbles round the vines
And it starts to feel
It’s time you climbed
Out of the trench
Come kick down my door
Bust the hinge
See what else we got in store

When the trumpets glare
A little part of you
Can’t but help to stare
I watch you bate your breath
And float like a ghost
When you could have touched down instead
You could have touched down instead

Unwind the time
To the breath between our lips
Hung out to dry
With the all those words that we let slip
Now a broken pact
And it’s smouldering remains
Can’t hold us back
From sharing this refrain

When the trumpets glare
A little part of you
Can’t but help to stare
I watch you bate your breath
And float like a ghost
When you could have touched down instead
I know I won’t regret this but I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try

It’s just all so familiar
