I set your picture on the radio past the stove You looked so lovely cuz you didn't know you where the show The kettle whistling while I wiped the glass and set the frame It wasn't till I heard you move that I could look away I caught you peering down the hallway up at me You looked so lonely trying not to be seen WHOA so you're a bird with arms WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm I didn't know you're bracing for the fall I didn't know you couldn't walk at all Though I was just like you Thought I was just like you You took your picture from the radio past the stove You didn't think I'd notice, didn't think I'd even know I'm sorry I got so angry, believe me But look at my face tell me you see what I see WHOA so you're a bird with arms WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm I didn't know you're bracing for the fall I didn't know you couldn't walk at all Though I was just like you Thought I was just like you Once I was small, I was weak I was living in a house made of stones made of sticks Once I was small, I was weak I was looking at my arms wanting wings wishing wings Oh I don't know, I don't know how to help you Oh all I know is you'll be looking better soon WHOA so you're a bird with arms WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm I didn't know you're bracing for the fall I didn't know you couldn't walk at all Though I was just like you Thought I was just like you

When you call me I'll be waiting Outside my bedroom, on top of the stairwell It's not like me to be early But I wait quietly, pretend like you hurried Cuz when I hear that noise I feel so alive And when I hear your voice oh how nice, I feel alright Moving cuz I want to Bags tied to my feet You were so worried The weights too much for It's not too much for me I'll be ready, hat and coat on But maybe you saw my band aids and bruises I was worried you were nervous But I left for reasons before you found me Cuz when I hear that noise I feel so alive And when I hear your voice oh how nice, I feel alright Moving cuz I want to Bags tied to my feet You were so worried The weights too much for It's not too much for me Oh don't say anything Meet me at the river I'd love if you could go Meet me at the river It's all here on show You can ask me if "it's easy" I don't mind And each time I say it, it grows in my mind Moving cuz I want to Bags tied to my feet You were so worried The weights too much for It's not too much for me Oh don't say anything It's not too much for me

My skin's been itching me since the middle of the summer My skin's been itching me since the middle of the summer Red robin under, red robin under (2x) Gently calls the calling birds, a soft and rolling thunder Gently calls the calling birds, a soft and rolling thunder Red robin under, red robin under (2x) Something so easy as feeling comfortable The birds are calling me, I know Somebody told me I was stuck under water Somebody told me I was stuck under water Red robin under, red robin under (2x) Something so easy as feeling comfortable The birds are calling me, I know Nothing seems to bother me When I am on the other side Nothing seems to bother me When I am on the other side Red robin under, Red robin under (2x) Something so easy as feeling comfortable The birds are calling me, I know Red robin under, red robin under (2x)

Red green and blue Calls out to you And oh how you need them Red green and blue What will you do When you find out the truth That no one is onto you, hiding out for you I walk home with you everyday I look at you and see your face I walk home with you everyday I'll lead you from your fear and say I will call them off, I will call them off of you Red green and blue Staring back you And oh how you watch Red green and blue I saw your shoes And I followed after you I was the only one, calling out for you I walk home with you everyday I look at you and see your face I walk home with you everyday I'll lead you from your fear and say I will call them off, I will call them off of you (2x)

It wasnt obvious at all I couldnt see it cross the hall I wouldnt like it if I did Maybe I did notice it I thought you were the surer one I never thought youd come undone Maybe it had crossed my mind Maybe I chose being blind I jumped the main land on a boat Made sure the ocean was my moat I said I wouldn't let you in I threw the bridge down like a sin How come we change in what we want It's like we do it for the fun I'm going backwards on a run It's like we do it for the fun PRECHORUS ((Oh how I love'd you with such great ease oh how I love'd you when I was, I was...)) CHORUS ((Just like the stories I let you fool with me I wanted all of you to have you back, back to me (2X))) It wasnt obvious at all I couldnt see it cross the hall I wouldnt like it if I did Maybe I did notice it I thought you were the surer one I never thought youd come undone Maybe it had cross my mind Maybe I chose being blind PRECHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE Why do you come back, to where I'm hiding? Oh in the tall trees, I guess I wore colors so you'd find me When you liked me, I was high like tall trees When you liked me, I was queen of all things CHORUS

Broken glass and wounded leg They said they left me here to mend I cast a sail from my pretend Oh won't you meet me at the water's edge Laying tired on the ground Please blow the whistle, let it sound You looked up while I was down Since when I am like the gold in the brown Drinking never lasts but I don't mind that I am falling fast, I am falling fast No one, no one makes me feel so undone I fill up, fill up again You bring me out to fall back in Cuz i see you on the bottom But you look the same See I don't care if I make up your perfection You look great to me You, you're worth this finding You, you're worth this blinding Drinking never lasts but I don't mind that I am falling fast, I am falling fast Hardened hearts in casts, soft again at last I am falling fast, I am falling fast

about

Half Sister Syracuse, New York

Indie pop act Half Sister makes “music to feed the part of you that wants to travel and explore life in a new way”.

Half Sister's coupling of folk style lyrics and anthemic rock instrumentation creates a mid-90s atmosphere to support the alluring vocals of Sarah Aument. The songwriting offers an uplifting perspective to uncertainty and doubt, extracted from personal relationships.
