Lyrics:
When you’re down I’ll take you on a holiday
When your eyes are looking kinda far away
And you know I’ll be beside you all the way
If you’d like I’ll take you to a matinee

And when you’re falling asleep
Don’t let it get in your head
There’s not a moment to think
There’s not a second to waste

In your eyes I see the sun that never sets
And your mind’s open like a flowerbed
If you know you’re getting in your head again
Open your eyes
Put the petals to the wind

And when you’re falling asleep
Don’t let it get in your head
There’s not a moment to think
There’s not a second to waste

And when you’re falling asleep
You gotta kick it instead
There’s not a moment to think
There’s not a second to waste

I’m trying to write relatable songs
But my problems keep being so existential
I’m trying to write relatable songs
But my problems keep being so elemental

I’m trying to write relatable songs
But my problems keep being so existential
I’m trying to write relatable songs
But my problems keep being so elemental

Babe
Baby please help me
I’m falling out of reach
Right into the memories that fade

Now
Now you come to me
The fire and the sea
Right into the memories that fade

And when you’re falling asleep
Don’t let it get in your head
There’s not a moment to think
There’s not a second to waste

And when you’re falling asleep
You gotta kick it instead
There’s not a moment to think
There’s not a second to waste

just heard this on the Kelly Clarkson show- phenomenal. on my way to hear more

[ginkodragon]

I just heard this song on Kelly Clarkson. I have never heard of this band, but i am loving the music, and sound of the singer's voices!
The sound is somewhat oriental but the whole concept is surreal!

[tonydeoliveira]

All the way from South Africa hearing this for the 1st time playing in a clothing store, Love it.

[Andrew-]

Just discovered this band. This song is irresistible.

[TheBeatlesToday]

Love the 70s influences! The hook is giving major Boney M. vibes, and the bridge/breakdown section reminds me of some of the more reggae-inspired Wings songs

[rotepixel]

Love it. More the classic St. Lucia sound. Catchy, upbeat, epic. And not one of these 2:30 min Spotify songs, but a longform piece. 👍🏻

[sharellepatterson]

Kind of reminds me of the soundtrack from 'Kill Bill' (kind of 1960s Japanese kung fu movie soundtrack) and I love this band! Saw them in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades some years ago and I smiled so much my face hurt. Love St. Lucia!!!

[nationalskyline]

As usual, St. Lucia reliably puts out another absolute banger

[danielnater]

Yall sound different,
like its crazy. Im loving it. Going through your album right now 😅

[ParallaxHearts]

You guys always do something fun and original. Hasn't changed for over a decade 🔥

[robynmasters]

Impossible not to love St. Lucia and everything they do.

[johnmcgready]

Can't stop whistling that hook, St Lucia makes my day once again!!!

[critlet]

Thank you for going back to your root sound. 🤩

[nickv]

Love it and great to have you back! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

[benjaminklenz]

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing visuals and song. Patty killing it on this one!!

[debbievandyke_culture]

Love it! Elevate is one of my favorites, this is right up there with it.

[rolynart]

Whoa, haven't seen y'all since I listened to dancing on glass!

[mrfleamino]

Amazing song, number one top pop 24 for me

[beanie]

Such a wonderful new edition to the world. Thank you, this is beautiful.

[uhhhmel]

Biggest regret is becoming a fan in 2023/2024 😭 I wish I came across your music sooner :(
