about

Second single off of our debut album:
Your Body, Up Close! // Wake the Animal (2022)

lyrics

i've been asleep too long
and if the feeling's gone
it's time to wake me up
five years have gone so fast
and if the feeling's past
it's time to make it up
make up for tired living and
make up for false beginnings and
make up for all the time I spent
wishing we were in your basement and
holding on strong
to music long gone
over and over again
and now we're finally at the end
of waiting for me to come through
while i was waiting for you
trying as hard as we can
to wake again
but wait i need one moment
to stop and hold my breath
for the animal has woken
to prey upon what's left
but hey let's take one moment
to wait on bated breath
for the animal has spoken
and prayed you never left
and i will wake the animal
