lyrics

Do you remember everything we said last night
have our brains only managed to store a few lines
what we do right now is soon a memory
how long will it be until we don’t remember anything

yesterday was once a thousand years from now
and our Friday is only seconds away from now
and on Saturday, I’ll be gone
and on Saturday, we’ll be gone

cause if we leave
and go expectedly
if we go away
I won’t be waiting

yesterday was once a thousand years from now

cause if we leave
and go expectedly
if we go away
I won’t be waiting

things will change
but I’d like a few to stay the same
and even if the rest all quite
the thought of you should not be nostalgic

existence is only an instance
and I’m not waiting
existence is only an instance
and I’m not waiting (anymore)

cause if we leave
and go expectedly
if we go away
I won’t be waiting

Yvette Young/Natalie Evans split
by yvette young

supported by 5 fans who also own “Waiting”

Yvette plays a re-recorded and improved version of “A Map a String a Light”, which is great and now features at least two guitar tracks and a violin. Natalie Evans is a new name to me, but it will certainly stay in my head because her song, although much shorter and simpler, is frankly good. Her juvenile voice makes it sound like a child’s daydream, and the accompanying instruments only reinforce that feeling. It’s a great song on the pop side of math rock. http://wp.me/p3mIfa-nD1 Can This Even Be Called Music?
