This track is about the strain on a relationship when put up against distance, differences, or time. Connor Boyle sings half of the chorus, and everything else is done by Christian Lyon.
lyrics
We were kids
We copied off our friends
Our mother
She taught us what it meant
Can you hear me? (We fought then)
Are you listenin’? (We were at odds and ends)
Somethin’s standin’ (Our brother)
In your place and (He stayed away with friends)
I’ll be watchin’ from (You come from)
Miles away
Where have you been?
We grew up
Regardless what you said
Our father
Told us we’d grow taller yet
Can you hear me? (We fought then)
Are you listenin’? (We were at odds and ends)
Something’s standin’ (Our brother)
In your place and (He stayed away with friends)
I’ll be watchin’ from (You come from)
Miles away
AKA Foxy has long been one of my favorite bands from home, but with this last record, they've become one of my favorite bands ever. Better than my shit. Christian Lyon
