Bus Stop 01:58
lyrics
buy track
I think I heard it in a movie before I heard it was your name I think your hair is kinda groovy I think there's cola in my brain I don't know how to be your woman I don't know how to be your girl Are we alone here at the bus stop or am I in another world Mmm, mmm Your Vans are Hazel like my eyes are you've got a funny way you walk its like you're tall but you still feel like you're a kid tho and this is why I know I reaally I shouldn't talk Caught up in the feeling Falling, slow-motion, into your arms but then the we're stopping near the train tracks I hear the whistle in my heart I guess you must have missed the signal Of your initials on my notebook-you could say I am as subtle as a fog horn That's why I always look away

Zack & Kelly 01:54
lyrics

We took out your row boat When your dad wasn’t home And I thought you were so brave Just Paddling free Like we were 16 You smiled as you looked my way Nintendo upstairs And your brother was there Makin fun like he would usually do But I didn’t mind with you by my side In the April afternoon We walked down my block Kickin pebbles and rocks By the water in the sunshine We Went up to my room And I wanted to kiss you But it was the first time We sat down on my bed And I don’t know what I said Something stupid coz that’s how it goes And then as we leaned in You crashed into my chin And then I bonked into your nose We were just like Zach and Kelly for a time In the St Patricks Day Parade I was yours and you were mine By the time summer came We were fading away You started hangin out with Carrie T. And I was over you fast Coz it never would last Honestly I was kinda outta your league…

Little World 03:17
lyrics
buy track
On weeknights in your dormitory We made up radio plays Silly voices, improv songs We would laugh the whole night long But all the humor halted in your gaze We’d get high and go out on adventures Bring along our cameras and pens you would sketch stuff we would find and I would try to read your mind To determine whether we were more than friends Help me read this right cause I don't know what I'll find are you some kind of brother or a cousin or the love of my life I guess i don't have to know tonight We’d get drunk on little penguin make up characters and scenes i'd pretend to be your boss you'd pretend you were my lover and my heart would thump so loud that i could scream and when you drew me in your bedroom Me, sitting naked in your chair you chuckled underneath your breath said that you'd just drawn my breast it was hard pretending that i didn't care help me read this right cause i don't know what i'll find are you some kind of sadist or my best friend or the love of my life i guess i don't have to know tonight and you took me to your hometown and I even met your folks and we went to all the thrift stores And had all the inside jokes and you flirted with my roommate and you dated my friend and you told me all your secrets and i kept them so there it is wrapped up in tissue this little world that i kept safe where i could hide away my love but couldn’t call it what it was i guess i thought that i could keep you that way

Magic! 02:21
lyrics

At our Absinthe party potluck You brought broccoli And Mac and cheese its like you were speaking straight to me and i knew We had just met at the cafe You were looking for a boat to take to Europe And I wasn’t a boat to take to Europe But I liked you It was just like a dream No clouds-all stars You were So fine to me And before I knew When we were kissin’ in the backyard We locked your bike up to my fence And we smoked hand rolled cigarettes and it was cold But you sat close And it was good You draped your arm around my shoulder It felt warm And I felt older and when we danced to M.I.A I understood It was just like a dream No clouds-Just stars You were So fine to me And before I knew we were kissin’ in the backyard And when You told my cat you spoke her language I fell head over heels And I knew it couldn’t last forever But It was twenty something Magic on wheels You spent your last night On my futon I kissed you goodbye with your helmet on & you went off to pedal around the world And when you think about Virginia I wonder, do you still remember That perfect week When I got to be your girl

Because You are Mine 02:25
lyrics
buy track
When the day shuts its doors When the tea has been poured When you're worn out and heavy and tired I will breeze in to say That I’m glad you're okay And I’m lucky because you are mine When the wine is all gone And your friends have moved on When there’s nothing but deep lonely sighs I will comfort your fears And kiss off your tears I’ll be glad to because you are mine Don’t you fret if I’m gone I’ll be back before long Coz I know that your voice Is my home Against the weight of the world Stands a cat and a girl Stronger than the thickest of ties And in the shape of your care I will always be there Now and ever because you are mine When the world falls apart I’ll be petting your heart Now and ever because you are mine

Summer Kind of Thing 03:35
lyrics
buy track
When I think about you It’s those sparkles in your eyes When I think about you It’s the way half of your lip Curls up when ya smile When I think about you It’s sunlight on your shoulders and They’re swallowing me whole Whoa When I think about you It’s a summer by your side New swimming suits And takin tubes down water slides When I think about you It’s the smell of sunscreen Mixing with your sweat Like a tv show Whoa We’ve got that summer kind of thing It feels like hummingbirds in springtime Like an autumn bonfire blazing til winters gone You’ve got that summer kind of way I’m hoping it’s real enough to stay For more than a season Could we last the whole year long? When I think about you It’s your perfect beach blonde hair It’s meeting your friends And knowing that means you really care When I think about you It’s the way you seem just slightly far away So I move in close... whoa Chorus When I think about you It’s the way you let me down Told me I was "celestial" Probably the coolest girl in town That It wasn’t me, it was you And there was nothing I could do -and You made the right choice Coz you really liked boys So when I think about you now I think you were so brave To let it go And take that step to find your way And when these words pulse Through your speakers I hope they fill you up with joy For who you were For who you are!

She's gonna chase that light til it burns her and everybody knows she's a real live wire she is gonna bite clean thru if you hurt her But when she cries she makes the rainbow come alive ooo that girl she's a shimmer catcher ooo that girl she's a sparkle raptor and the pack already knows you so where you gonna run to now... She's quick with a good line She’s prism clad all the time gotta will so wild A tongue so sharp it'll blow your mind brave as the night is tricky wicked fine but humble & yet she knows what she wants and she's gonna get it ms. lucky 7 She's got the whole house packed on a Tuesday and nobody knows sometimes she feels the most alone when the room is full like this but everyone is talkin thru her words she says how will i be seen if i'm never heard ooo that girl shes a shimmer catcher ooo that girl she's a sparkle raptor but she's complicated, too scared to be proud you'd think she'd have found the mirror by now she's quick with a good line prism clad all the time she's gotta will so wild tongue so sharp it'll blow your mind brave as the night is tricky wicked fine but humble & yet she knows what she wants and she's gonna get it ms. lucky 7 she is pencil flowers etched upon the wall (that girl) Blueberry muffin crumbs and karaoke She is body glitter fairy rings and burned cds (that girl) And I’m swimming in sunshine when she holds me

about

All songs included were written and recorded this February for February Album Writing Month. A deep dive thru the nostalgic halls of photos and diary entries, The FAWM EP is a musical memoir, an ode to youth, to those who led us to love, and the many versions of ourselves we found in the process.
