Alvvays - Next of Kin lyrics
[Alvvays - Next of Kin lyrics]
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
I caught the way you looked
At me in the sunlight
You took something before you
Went in the shower
To help suppress the things that
Make you feel uptight
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
The sun so hot
I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall
We knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream so
No one would be heard
And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
No color to his skin inform the next of kin
No color to his skin
I left my love in the river
The only one I see
I left his hand in the current
And now I am left blowing through the trees
Ooh ooh
I caught the way you looked
At me in the sunlight
You took something before you
Went in the shower
To help suppress the things that
Make you feel uptight
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
The sun so hot
I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall
We knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream so
No one would be heard
And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
No color to his skin inform the next of kin
No color to his skin
I left my love in the river
The only one I see
I left his hand in the current
And now I am left blowing through the trees
Ooh ooh
