lyrics

I denied it too many times I can't believe,
This place has got a hold on me.
And the more I take this step forget how to breathe,
And who am I to you and who are you to me.

I walk these streets in my head talking in my sleep,
Tried to tell myself it was all a dream.
But that moment when I caught you looking at me,
I knew this is no joke, remember to breathe.

It was supposed to be a lonely night,
It was supposed to be a lonely night.

I lie to everyone I meet in this town,
It's been this way ever since you stopped coming around.
And the less I tend to speak the more I see clear.
And who would listen to me; I cannot stay here.

I will sit on my steps and sing out your favorite song.
The faces walk by and wonder what's going wrong with me,
But every time you come on home and leave on your light
It was not supposed to be anything but a lonely night.

Eyes locked on me, no words but i looked in your soul.
Wherever yours went I wanted to go.
But I couldn't shake this anchor weighing me down,
But I promise you one day we'll figure this out.

The Land, The Sea & Everything Lost Beneath
by Adam Barnes

I followed Mr. Barnes on Twitter for nearly a year before listening to his music (It's unclear why exactly). After seeing an acoustic performance of Teenage Dirtbag, I was instantly hooked. I love this record. It's simultaneously uplifting and heartbreaking and recently always playing. Carmen Insalaco

The songs are so cathartic and real with no end of artistic integrity. Everything sounds as if fifty people are singing directly at me, rather than one. Excellent album louiz
