lyrics

The panic was here right from the beginning
Started the year with alcohol poisoning
Crumbling couples fighting in parked cars
Wasted people smoking in front of closing bars

All dressed up like the world’s about to end
Destroyed at best
But once these days are gone, they’re gone forever
They’re never coming back again

Three PM with all of the lights out
Three day hangover at your parent’s house
Detroit skyline twenty years older
How come this year it feels so much colder?

All dressed up in emergency room red
Distressed
But once these days are gone, they’re gone forever
They’re never coming back again
And in your head there is a voice repeating
“I’m never doing this again."

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
