“Palm Dreams” is the lead single from Touche Amore’s fourth full-length studio album, Stage Four. This is the first song released by the band through Epitaph Records.
The song premiered through NPR along with a quick backstory of the song by vocalist Jeremy Bolm:
When you lose someone, you also lo...
[Verse 1]
What was it that brought you west?
I assumed but can only guess
It's the questions that went unasked
That appear when time has passed
It felt like many years
Taking apart our home
I dug through forty years
All alone
[Pre-Chorus]
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
[Chorus 1]
Was it all the palm trees
Placed where they shouldn't be
That made you feel complete
In this land of make believe
[Bridge]
Like going 65 on the 5 at 5
Like going 65 on the 5 at 5
[Pre-Chorus]
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
[Chorus 2]
I am still bereaved
Come every ocean breeze
Was it all the palm trees
Placed where they shouldn't be
That made you feel complete
In this land of make believe
[Outro]
What was it that brought you west?
What was it that brought you west?
What was it that brought you west?
Where I lay my head to rest
It felt like many years
Taking apart our home
I dug through forty years
All alone
