lyrics

I remember friends that haven't been around,
Here in a long, long time...
Gently as we go, I fall through the years,
And struggle to fill that time
'Cause I know what I'm like, I am hard on the bite,
A clean and terrified mind
Look dear, I'll make it clear: I am nobody, but,
You're somebody to me

Loves we have left behind have married at sea,
Under the sacred reef
Yet I abide to the land, any other man,
Can bring you home to me
'Cause try though we might, we kick and we scream,
And pull each other deep,
Until every memory - the good and the bad - is a melody,
Hung to me

And I fell under,
Sheets of sentiment,
And greed; bitterly,
We wrote love-notes,
From out grief
Tongue-tied when we go,
Wandering on,
To take the cat-bird seat,
And realised we loved,
An image of,
Of a turquoise dream...

Buried in the snow,
Waiting for your peace,
Lonelier, we go begging,
On our knees
Crawling ancient streets,
Cobbled stones,
Lit up in the sleet
And I hold out my hand,
Hoping you come,
And give yours back to me...

I cannot pray for all the futures in me,
Leaving while we're asleep
I won't lament the past; it wasn't for me,
Wasn't meant to be
But hold me closer, love,
And we will land on our feet
'Cause I'm hard on the bite,
But darling you come, and you can dress the clean

Yeah, you can dress the clean...

Under our turquoise dreams...

Taken by turquoise dreams...

about

The Room Upstairs London, UK

Since forming in 2014, The Room Upstairs have become album-era hanger-on-ers, decorating themselves in retro-tinged melodies and folk-rock lyricisms. They muse on mortality, nostalgia, the passage of time, and emotional life crises (quarter, mid, or just normal "ran-out-of-milk" stuff). That said, they also wrote this biography, so maybe listen and debate the bias.
