lyrics
There's a wrinkle in the couch where you used to sit,
We would laugh for hours while you spun a fine yarn.
Now there's nothing but the space where you used to fit.
You're my phantom kin, and it hurts sometimes.
It hurts sometimes.
I hear you in the living room,
I feel you in the dark,
My mind is gonna give in soon,
My heart is torn apart, in the morning there's no mark.
Ah-ah-ah, You'll always be my phantom kin.
Ah-ah-ah, Even if I start again.
Pins, sharpened needles, I can feel every beetle on your skin.
I pour my coffee, extra hot,
There's always extra in the pot
Do I take sugar? I forgot.
But I know you liked yours creamy, you're living in my dreams.
Ah-ah-ah, You'll always be my phantom kin.
Ah-ah-ah, Even if I start again.
Pins, sharpened needles, I can feel every beetle on your skin.
The tree you planted last summer wouldn't change its leaves with the seasons.
And then things got a bit glummer when the hours lasted longer for no reason.
I feel you pulling, asking when we're gonna harvest those limes
And I said, 'hold your horses, what's your rush? we've got
whole heaps of time'

Lively folk-pop that will make you feel thrilled and relaxed all at once. You'll be immersed in Amanda's vocals, titillated by Alex's mandolin, and find great joy in their songwriting prowess. Lipstick Lumberjack
