Lyrics:
It’s earnestly said,
My resolution is dead
if you refuse to see the sunlight
Moving through defenceless front lines
I keep on finding your hair
A constant presence of fear
And difficulties more unknown
The air is thicker where I’m going

It’s not a dark situation
I’d rather tumble than be taking it slow
I had a hard time figuring out
It was no wonder why you go

Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I’d never remember
The image that would call you back to me

Four months and a day
What other sucker would wait
For someone else to take advantage
When all you give is took for granted
A long-distance brawl
Or sympathetically called
Consideration taken daily
To think that you would hope to shake me

It was a bad hesitation
A little stumble in the back of your soul
Another hard time alone in yourself
It was a step too far to know

Whatever I can do, you go treat me indifferent
A flicker of appeal, wouldn't kill you to give in
Another little dream falls at my feet

Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I’d never remember
The image that would call you back to me

Sittin home. Making Sauerkraut with ham and "dried" gardenbeans with garlic! A, pack costs, one Swiss francs. In the meantime i enjoy the music"

[doomtoken]

There's something so nostalgic about every single song you all put out. It's that kind of nostalgia that hurts and heals the heart at the same time. I love you guys. Don't ever stop.

[kenzietd]

This song is keeping me sane during all this chaos

[likeitornotwithmichaellane]

This band is exactly what music needed. Ethereal, airy, refreshing, can go on and on. This is by far my favorite band today. Criminally underrated future legends.

[DJPashn]

This is one good thing about Spotify. Finding golden nuggets like this band.♥️

[olumayorwa]

Playing the video to their song “in camera” at the end of this video is so soothing ❤

[pinto_]

No clue how this band isn’t more popular

[sokyu]

won't lie I haven't the slightest clue how or why I discovered y'all but this song has genuinely been my favorite song to ever hear ever.

[saigalrahoul]

her son dancing on the beach gets me everytime ! as a dad to a 4 and half year old boy, this song makes me feel like shes talking about how quickly you are heroes and cool for them when they re young and how quickly that changes too so you're literally just "cool for a second" :( in the end though he looks back at his mom with love and they laugh and fall asleep together like best friends. magical

[GerardoAguilar]

this band literally cannot make a bad song

[rubent]

I discovered Yumi Zouma because of "All the Bright Places" and i am a fan now!
Cheers from Portugal!

[forgottenmma]

Saw them open for Turnover in LA. They’re Super talented! Awesome live performance! They’re on my Radar for sure!

[alanweak]

This is great. Super dreamy and fun to bounce your head to. Another solid tune from y'all!

[jordangreen]

I take back all I have been saying about this Generation not having the talent to produce original music . . . .

[boysdontcry]

One of the most underrated pop bands going around.

[ItzSilasRain]

you guys seriously have the best music of this generation. nostalgia, peace, i can dance to it. what else can i ask for¿ love you guys so much¡🥰❤️

[kennethalvarez]

I just realized that they are watching the music video for their song “In Camera” at the end. I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE

[weeewoot]

heard you guys in a bar in austin texas... was drunk beyond belief but the memory stuck. Found the song... pure bliss. Thank you for the amazing music!

[davidfrazier]

Okay, so I just saw you all open for my favorite band Turnover at the Vogue in Indianapolis. I was an instant fan upon hearing your first song of the set, which is this track. Fan for life here! A band hasn't hit me in the feelz like this since Peripheral Vision album. I can't wait to see you all again! I will be sharing this with everyone, including my brother who manages and signed Bailey Zimmerman, Volbeat, Saving Abel, Papa Roach, Butcher Babies, and several other huge acts.
