about

The first track from the previously unreleased album Goodbye Susto, the most complete of those currently being reconstructed from some partially corrupted demo recordings. Purchase of the track supports the efforts to recreate the lost recordings.

lyrics

Touchdown in L.A.

Waited for what felt like half a day to emerge.

Thought I'd ask you why,

But you took it as interrogation and brushed me aside.

‍

Now I think it was fear that I saw in your eyes

Never thought much of it at the time

At security they have machines that will see right through you

‍

I wanted to say

Something reassuring, but words, they just got in the way.

Come on, let's take a ride

To the kind of outdoor carnival only L.A. can provide.

‍

Venice beach sunset, hair blown in the breeze,

You shared your childhood trauma with me

There's a boardwalk psychic whose gaze will reveal your truths

‍

Doesn't it feel good to just let it go?

Cast your worries to the wind like a kite

And I won't give a damn, though you might

‍

I longed to show you

That nothing between us had changed in the slightest

But I got a bit drunk and I got a bit reckless

Said some things I didn't mean to sound bad, but they did, I guess.


You fell asleep on the couch beside me,

I'm still glad that you couldn't see how I cried

As the tree in the corner cast off its flickering light

‍

I watched you sleep and I thought about

My vulnerability, your vulnerability

How they converge and we merge and some things just feel right

Still, I'm sleeping alone tonight.
