lyrics

I wish you could have stayed
The storm in your head always hinted at by the rain
Held back in your eyes and you just left without any goodbyes

You're not weak, you're not heartless
I hate the way they think of you
If holding hands could bring you back, then my steadfast grip will hold until my bones turn to dust and then we're forced to let go

Stay awake, you should've said you weren't okay
and I'll bear the weight
you carved in my heart, "forever", you'll always remain

I wish you could have stayed

I think that's what you wanted
Shedding doubts and egos for much more than
shallow relationships built on fabricated friendships

I know you feel lost but that's not how it is

Stay awake, you should've said you weren't okay
and I'll bear the weight
you carved in my heart, "forever", you'll always remain

I wish you could have stayed

Good Nature
by Turnover

supported by 12 fans who also own “For a Friend”

One of my favorite albums of all time. Turnover really hit a sound here that resonates with me deeply, and I often find myself coming back to this record and falling in love with it all over again. The drums and bass are greatly underrated on this album, creating their own unique melodies that fit within the song and create something new rather than just follow the guitars. Nothing beats the somehow joyful and somber sound of this record. Rob Carpenter

I love mom jeans. It immerses myself in those unforgettable feelings and makes me weep, and I smile as the trumpet starts to play. How wonderful. zhangzhanglang
