lyrics
Baby, I could take you with me; let’s escape to the south
No, we don’t have any money, but we’ll figure it out
When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth
To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about
It was the summer of ‘16
I called you up, said I’d be there in a few
I rang your doorbell, you kissed me
I wished that moment would last an hour or two
Remember back when we both were happy?
I swear if it kills me, I’ll take us there again
My love, I don’t mean to be so black and white
But there’s a simple solution
‘Cause I know you and I know your restless heart
I could save you if we weren’t so far apart
I had a dream that your heart died
Woke up to watch it become reality
It makes you nauseous when men cry
I left the room so you could stomach the sight of me
Remember when all we talked about was love?
Back when I saved up and bought that diamond ring?
Believe me, darling, I can’t stand waking up
Miles apart, chasing different things
Honey, if I had the time, I’d take us back to the start
But I know that’s not what you want and it tears me apart
When you say I need to take the time to figure you out
To be straight, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about
No, we don’t have any money, but we’ll figure it out
When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth
To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about
It was the summer of ‘16
I called you up, said I’d be there in a few
I rang your doorbell, you kissed me
I wished that moment would last an hour or two
Remember back when we both were happy?
I swear if it kills me, I’ll take us there again
My love, I don’t mean to be so black and white
But there’s a simple solution
‘Cause I know you and I know your restless heart
I could save you if we weren’t so far apart
I had a dream that your heart died
Woke up to watch it become reality
It makes you nauseous when men cry
I left the room so you could stomach the sight of me
Remember when all we talked about was love?
Back when I saved up and bought that diamond ring?
Believe me, darling, I can’t stand waking up
Miles apart, chasing different things
Honey, if I had the time, I’d take us back to the start
But I know that’s not what you want and it tears me apart
When you say I need to take the time to figure you out
To be straight, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

Patterns in the Static
by The Classic Crimesupported by 4 fans who also own “The South”
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack!
