This is how T H E perfect pop song sounds.

I've arrived 
Here on the floor
Climbing up the walls
And I think I've been caught

Take my words
For when we're away
I tell them to my back
Almost every day

I could never wait
So I'm in the divide
Every interchange
Sits alone in my mind

Can't you just explain 
When you see me alive?
Show me you're restrained 
By a similar vice

I never thought I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking
I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide 
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment
That dissolves my means
You know what it means to me 
We can keep on recklessly

In the dark
A method of choice
I'm busting through the roof
To the sound of the void

Get a text
From Abby Perez
She can keep my lies
Hidden under her head

I don't think a lot
As I'm rushing around
I could call you up
And then see you in town

All that we'd forgone
Never seemed un-avowed
Tell me it's enough
When you're pulling me down

I never thought I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking
I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide 
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
No little wonder if I let you go
The disappointment
That dissolved my means
You know what it means to me 
we can keep on acting sweet

You were the best one who cared
Then you took more than a quarter
Everything here is too weird
But I feared that you're here under the slaughter

I never struggled to be on my own
No wonder that I let you go
The disappointment that was plain to see
That was what it meant to me when you
Shook me endlessly

I never thought I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking
I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide 
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
No little wonder if I let you go
The disappointment
That dissolved my means
You know what it means to me 
We can keep on acting sweet

I'm blown away by this band. They just keep getting better and Persephone is my fav track to date. What impresses me the most is that they genuinely understand songwriting. And they collaborate! That just makes their finished product all the more rare. Hats off to their engineer and Producer. Full, clean, tight sound. Christie's vocals when singing live have some maturing to do as far as pitch and control go (their recordings are a lot to live up to), but she has a really sweet sound. I'm confident she'll get there and we'll continue to see amazing things from them for years to come.

I don’t know why this song brings so much nostalgia to my heart when I’m just hearing for the first time. I feel robbed for not hearing this beautiful piece of work when it was first released. 6 years later - your music is still gorgeous. Thank you for getting me all in my feels ❤️🙏🏾

I can already see myself this winter blasting this album going down the highway with snow falling and layered up in sweater and leather.

[toMac]

Is there a song better than this? The answer is no.

[YoshGotSteez]

This might be the greatest song of all time.

[lethalpro]

[marleneliashorvath]

Heard this while shopping in Marshall's ❤

[danielnunes]

Wonderful and beautiful song from this wonderful and fantastic band. Love you Zouma...

[vinncore]

i have apeirophobia, and the visuals at the start with the eternal design shook me up a little bit but the song immediately fixed it up ❤

[michaelgrot]

I heard this song last week in a shop in London. It should have at least 40.000.000 views. A lot of potential in my opinion. Regards from the Netherlands :)

[DrMacca]

It's 2019 and I'm still listening. I adore this song.

[jpcough]

Holy crap I soundhounded this song in a Hilton lobby. It's eargasmic ❤

[momentsmeanmore]

I'm alright
Here on the floor
Climbing up the walls
And I think I'm calm

Take my words
For when we're away
I tell them to my back
Almost every day
I could never wait
So I... 
Don't forget to change
It's a problem of mine
...

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
But I was thinking I don't see it straight
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's a wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that "it's over" means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on acting sweet

Only work
And nothing of joy
I'm busting through the roof to the sound of the boy
Get a text from Abbey Perez
She can keep my lies standing up on her head

I don't look around
As I'm rushing around
I could call you up and see you in town
Other people come so it's not very fun
Tell me it's enough and you're probably done

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
But I was thinking I don't see it straight
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's a wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that "it's over" means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on acting sweet

You were best one here
Then you took more than a quarter
Everything here is still weird
But I'm glad that you're here
Over the slaughter

I never struggled to be on my own
No wonder that I let you go
The disappointment that was plain to see
That was what it meant to me
When you shook me endlessly

I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
But I was thinking I don't see it straight
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try

I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's a wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that "it's over" means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on acting sweet

best track for a sunny swedish autumn! so much love for this band <3

[olivia-dawnmichelle]

Thanks Starbucks I heard it at work tonight had to find

[maloriwilliams]

Does this song even have words? Can’t tell. Someone needs to tell this woman that consonants exist.

[partyboyyy]

Absolutely amazing this is what dreams encompass🤟🏽❤️

[Airtayjay]

The sound is so *full, * but not dense. It took me a while to remember the word for what I was feeling, but it finally came to me: Frission.
