lyrics

You drink ‘til you forget
I drink until you’re pretty
But, pretty’s nothing special
So, I drink until you’re gone

We stare into the room
We sit across the table
We think that we remember
What it was to fall in love

Little by little our love’s getting brittle
We try not to settle this time
The blood’s getting thinner, we fight for the winner
But, we'll never notice the light become night
For this is how you and I learn to turn a blind eye

We fight a little more
We push a little harder
We kick into the walls
Like the stone’s getting soft

And, I call you names
And, you yell a little louder
So, I threaten to leave
And, you open the door

Little by little our love’s getting brittle
We said we’d be here till we die
The blood’s getting thinner, we fight for the winner
But, we'll never notice the light become night
For this is how you and I learn to turn a blind eye






And, I’ve heard you talk in your sleep
Better the devil to keep than to open your mind
And, I’ve heard a river of dreams
But, the words aren’t as cheap as they’re made out to be
Someone has stolen the light
Has somebody stolen our light?

Remember we were young
Remember we were happy
Remember I had you
And, that’s all you’d ever need

Remember what it’s like
The sunlight on your shoulder
A cabin by the water
And the offer of a hand?

Little by little our love’s getting brittle
We’ll try not to settle this time
The blood’s getting thinner, we fight for the winner
But, we'll never notice the light become night
For this is how you and I learn to turn a blind eye

Little by little our love’s getting brittle
We’ll never give in ‘til the wrong becomes right
The blood’s getting thinner, we fight for the winner
But, we'll never notice the light become night
For this is how you and I learn
This is how you and I learn
This is how you and I’ve learned

"McBride is the voice that races ahead excited, Woller is the anchor; he pulls back just a tad – together they find the perfect place to pitch and rest each song... each track [is] strong – no duds"
Simon Sweetman, Dominion Post

“There's no escaping just how good this album is”
