about

A cautionary tail from the annals of regret. Written on a beach in Mexico over the course of 2 1/2 beers. Its the closest the band has ever come to invoking the music of their esteemed friend, the dearly departed Lhasa de Sela. This is the only song I have ever written on the ukelele. - Brad Barr

lyrics

---Lyrics---

I put my arms up
And felt the sea in front of me
I let my guard down
The ocean spoke these words to me
She said I've been trying
For about a million centuries
Just to get up on that shore
And not get pulled back anymore
Mostly I'm just breathing……

Look before it changes
Cause when it changes,
It changes for good

When you were screaming
And I was too deaf to hear
When you were leaving
I said I don't need you here
You said I've been trying
To see what's going on behind your eyes
I said mostly I'm just breathing……..

Look before it changes
Cause when it changes,
It changes for good
