lyrics

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

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. ... more
