about
i can't keep drowning in my head
lyrics
dancing around in this parkade alone
and it feels weird cause nothing feels more like my home
i followed my dreams
and i hit a dead end
and it hurts cause i thought
that i was my best friend
tip toe tip toe hear the echo
i bring my toes to the edge
just like they do on the swimming team
i can't keep drowning in my head
oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
can i go back to when i was young
if i knew the things that i know now
i'd find a way to change this all somehow
but i never was much good on the swimming team
oh i'm dancing around
and i can't feel my face
i'm confined by these walls
soon i'll have so much space
cause i followed my dreams
'til i ran out of breath
they told me sink or swim
maybe sinking is best
oh backstroke backstroke uh-huh
can i go back to when i was young
if i knew the things that i know now
i'd find a way to change this all somehow
but i never was much good on the swimming team
backstroke backstroke uh-huh
can i go back to when i was young
if i knew the things that i know now
i'd find a way to change this all somehow
but i never was much good on the swimming team

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
