LYRICS

Vague memories, in the narrow streets of Lausanne
We ran through red to the park and we swam
Train tracks screaming in the dead of night
Hard city light tends to swallow you whole

Faint memories, corrugated hindsight
Same few words, same thing repeating
Plastic flowers cast across the tarmac
Dogs in the ditches, dull-eyes from the fumes

Oh what empty hours you keep
The waiting isn’t hard, it’s the let down of the words you speak

Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Waited in the wings of the morning for you
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Linger if you will we are strangers still
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Waited in the wings of the morning for you
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Linger if you will we are strangers still

Old enemies in an empty street of Lausanne
Under glare of a questioning moon
Gather dust and guilty time for this
Oh lover I know how it feels

Trees evergreen blinking in the car-lights
Took ourselves west somehow passing the time
Fever dreaming in an empty pool high-walled and blue
Pull us out of it sometime soon

Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Waited in the wings of the morning for you
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Linger if you will we are strangers still
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Waited in the wings of the morning for you
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Linger if you will we are strangers still
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Waited in the wings of the morning for you
Sometimes things are better left unsaid instead,
Linger if you will we are strangers still

The woman is drop-dead brilliant, regardless of which side of her mouth she chooses to sing out of.

[emmybegood]

Ethereal, sublime, absolutely transcendent.
The ephemeral beauty of raw emotion has been harnessed into a piece of sonic landscape that seems to stretch infinitely.

I'm a hip-hop head 100% but her songs and passengers songs does something to me I don’t understand myself!

Just watched your video with my 3-year-old daughter. After the palm tree sequence she said: "look, daddy, she's in Spain!" 😅 Was she right?
