I would have given anything to you
Sometimes I did and all I knew
Was darling, I got nothing back at all
We're tried and true
I let you break my heart to pieces
Before you go, could you sign the releases?
So I know that this won't go on haunting me
Rip bandages off wounded knees
It's so hard to look you in the eye
When you have me by the throat and by the heart
I don't know where to start
Be sure to wipe your shoes off on the mat
Step inside if what you have to say can match the crushing impact
Of the day we touched for the first time
And we fell apart in each other's arms
Put it back together though we were blind by sight
We learned every inch of each other that night
And we'll always know the truth of how we're made
And how we're fragile and afraid
Trembling as the night fades
With the bright sky overhead I'll stumble down an empty street
By starlight feel just like I'm floating above the glistening concrete
My dancing partner's silhouetted on the ground I tread upon
As my feet return to earth I'll dash across the damp front lawns and sing

We met in 3/4 time, our edges smoothed by sea and sand
Our glances sly, our wells ran dry, we waited patiently
For what we knew lay in the ground, could you feel my heart pound?
When it happened and you held yourself so close to me?
That was six years ago, it feels like trans-Atlantic flights
And endless blues, colorful hues, half-truths lie in-between
We made decisions without thought, kissed in public, lost the plot
To the play of everyday we didn’t pay to see
As the world turned, we stood like statues
As the world slowed, we moved as sunbeams
And I knew everything about you
And you knew everything about me
As the trees swayed, we held like pillars
As the trees bloomed, we spun a cocoon
Wove a wall between new expectations
Wove a wall to climb and stare at the moon
You were a vision of exquisite grace and nervousness
My hanging jaw, I wish you saw your blinding radiance
Oh, it wasn’t easy to say "No", so we never did and how it showed
In the lazy flight of endless nights’ experience

Hello again from the heart of the sun
I can see a million miles away and one by one
Your spiral staircases come crumbling down
My great expectations tumble into the ground
I'm alone again, cheers my friend
I'm the sunset, the fog, and the rain
It's a long road, so it goes
The chemical trails through the sky and my veins
I have taken over
I won't jump through the hoops that you hold
The sky's the limit as I wave goodbye
To watch my technicolor future unfold
Hello, it's me from the top of the clouds
Heard the news today and felt a way I never was allowed
Choked by the labrynthine walls of my guilt
Found the trail of thread and wove it back into silk
Feel it coming now, don't know how
As the fire still smolders in me
Been the first, last, only one
Who knew that being lonely could feel so free?

The Tet Holiday Oakland, California
The Tet Holiday is Andrew Ledford (vocals/guitar), Austin Gibbons (bass), and Brandon Farmer (drums). Swirling The Jesus and Mary Chain's noise-pop melodicism, Ride's shimmering dreamscapes, The Stone Roses' dance-informed psychedelia, and Japandroids' pack-the-room punk energy, The Tet Holiday balances bittersweet introspection with anthemic, crushing rock 'n' roll. ... more
