From The Wonderlife's forthcoming EP, 'Retract & Rejoice,' out August 24th.

lyrics

I wish my mother and my father would get along
Travel up the coast like a vagabond
Need my lover right beside me cuz she’s the one
And we’re so young
Does my mother have the strength to carry on
Is my father going to see that he did it wrong
And my lover is the person I’m dreaming of when I come home
In the name of my daughter
In the name of my blood

Father I’m the only man who always tried to understand you
Maybe I should look at myself too
Crazy but not unrequited
Cover up the scars we’re hiding
Playing fools is a game for two

But if this pain had brought us closer
I would feel it over and over
I would always come right back for more

Go to sleep in so much pain
Waking up to feel the same
Dreaming is the perfect time to change
If he can’t give you what you want
When you love him from afar
Memories they come right back to me

If there’s any healing powers
Taken in a bed of flowers
I will always come right back for more
Is there some sort of other poison
In the words the words we haven’t spoken
Flowing through my body every pore

But the light always comes
