The Season 03:05
I met you on a dark day I promised you the light I laboured to deliver I still want to go together Do you think this will last the season? As winter turns to spring And sunlight nurtures everything I hope you’ll heed the call Were you ever here at all? Do you think this will last the season? I’m holding on to what I fear is gone I’m holding on to things I thought I’d left behind I’m holding back when all I want to do is fight for you I’m holding on to hope Do you think this will last the season? Do you know how much I care? I tried to breach the surface Too thick to let me in Do you think this will last the season?

Eyes too sore to sleep, grasp elusive dreams You pierced me with your almond eyes, saw right through my weak disguise Heart too scarred to feel, something pure and real You lost me in a darkened space, a sadness I could not replace And now you’re a part of me apart from me, oh I was only here to pass the time I was only here to slowly die beside Love that’s good and true, just too much for you You pinned me to a precious place, then turned around and got away Something whispered here, ruptured hidden fear A lucid sense of something lost, you weren’t prepared to pay the cost And now you’re a part of me apart from me, oh I was only here to pass the time I was only here to slowly die beside

You treat my love like it was made for a rainy day To pass the time, loneliness is not a crime I called you up, I miss your touch Comfort alone is not enough Won’t you stay the night? Lay here by my side Even if it’s one last time Let the loneliness subside tonight Spring is such an optimistic season But summer’s gone before it’s barely just begun Just like this, a fleeting kiss Was it ever true, or did I only dream of you? To have you near and run my fingers through your hair To hold you close, I care for you much more than most Won’t you stay the night? Lay here by my side Even if it’s one last time Let the loneliness subside tonight

I know what you feel like in the morning The way you’d drape your arm across my thighs The brazen sun would force its way in through your windows And steal you away from the dream you were gracing I know the way you taste in the shower The way the water willingly follows your lines The early light would trickle in through the curtain And dance across your skin, and illuminate your eyes Oh, you had me and I felt it Oh, it’s so hard to let go Oh, if you’re telling me it’s over I will for you. Goodbye, my love. I love your gentle kisses in the evening The way your scent lingers long in my hair Knowing you is knowing perfect imperfection It was so short-lived, the dream I was living I hear the words your mouth isn’t speaking Tales and troubles etched in the lines of your skin Your body knows a language all of its own making But who am I to deserve a muse so enchanting? Oh, you had me and I felt it Oh, it’s so hard to let go Oh, if you’re telling me it’s over I will for you. Goodbye, my love. I will for you. Goodbye, my love.

about

The Season juxtaposes simplicity against complexity. Simplicity in the instrumentation (voice and piano) and production, complexity in the emotions explored.
This EP traces the life and death of a relationship, from the time trouble broods, through the separation and subsequent feelings that follow. Light fades to darkness, but the memory of the beauty and warmth that existed lingers and comforts through even the most desperate moments.
Beauty in sadness.
