Track one from The Tarnished Gold, their fourth release on US label Sub Pop.
The protagonist in this song is resolving to move on from past loves that have hurt him. It is a lament for the death of nostalgia, the habit of a lifetime.
The song continues to develop the band’s chilled out alt-count...
[Verse 1]
It's time to... stop pretending
Those days, those days are gone
It's time to... stop wishing for endings
Those old wounds have turned into scars
[Chorus]
Forget the song that I've been singing
Lay down the weight that I've been holding
Hope that spring melts the winter in my heart
[Verse 2]
Flower, returning their blooming
Time comes, washes away
Some nights... [?] the darkest nights
Hatred is waiting for me
[Chorus]
Forget the song that I've been singing
Lay down the weight that I've been holding
Hope that spring melts the winter in my heart
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Forget the song that I've been singing
Lay down the weight that I've been holding
Hope that spring melts the winter in my heart
...Melts the winter in my heart
