No Looking Back

No Looking Back.
there's no looking back
and no reason that i should
some memories don't go away
i wish that they would
there's no safe way
i still see your face
but you are just a shadow
i can't seem to erase
where did the lights go?
i've gotta find my way home
i'm sick of your ghost
let me sleep
leave me alone
these, these are haunted rooms
and i, i keep on going through
thinking, “maybe i am supposed to.
somewhere in the rubble there could be clues,"
but really i'm sleeping through high noon
and deep down, i know, i'm just searching for some bad news
where did the lights go?
i've gotta find my way home
i'm sick of your ghost
let me sleep
leave me alone

If You Wanted
01:50
|
|||
I would take you out dancing
If you wanted me to
But I don’t have many moves
I would sing you a song
That’s not about you
But I know you’re not that easily fooled
I hope you know
I could be your fallen rose
But will you be that pebble on my stone
If this was the last day
Who would you lay with?
If this was the last day
Would you say something different?

Bruises
03:54
|
|||
I bruise so easily
I can feel it in my bones
It's not just me
I’m not alone
I don’t think
I wanna watch the day turn into night
I wanna watch your eyes (I wanna watch your eyes)
'Cause I felt a rush
As if I was pushed
My hands are shaking
Not for the reasons you might be thinking
Thoughts and complications
Contemplating implications
When the day comes
When I lose my charm
Don't be alarmed
I know they were stolen
But I wanna keep these moments
I wanna sing you to sleep

i.
My thoughts pour out onto the page
Where they will forever remain
The mysteries will stay the same
Unexplored and unexplained
ii.
I can never say just what I want
My mind won't focus, my brain won't start
There is a call but no response
And bit by bit it falls apart
iii.
So words escape and people change
Do you believe in fate? Was I to blame?
I'll remember your face and the way you said my name
And I'm wondering about tomorrow
And I'm worrying about forever
And if the dust ever settles
I will build up out of these embers
iv.
The past seems like it's right by my side
I don't understand the passing of time
v.
Right from the start we're thrown under the stars
Left roaming in the dark
And all of our flaws, we try and shut them off
But they make us who we are
vi.
So I'll ride this train until it stops
Like an old clock, like my own heart
But how do we get back what we always sought?
Will our scars ever wear off?
'Cause I’m wondering about tomorrow
And I’m worrying about forever
The past seems like it's right by my side
I don't understand the passing of time

Break the Curse
03:41
|
|||
Tonight I'll break the curse
Maybe tell you my worst fears
But if I say 'em aloud do they become real
No such thing as an easy win
And here I am, drunk again
So, for a little while
I’ll pretend I can handle this
So, for a little while I'll pretend
A million thoughts, a rush of blood
The sound of my own heart wakes me up
Is it so unrealistic to trust
A single person with so much?
So, for a little while
I’ll pretend I can handle this
So, for a little while I'll pretend
In our travels it will be unraveled
Illuminated out from the shadows
And if dreams can come true
Then nightmares can too
And I don’t wanna know
'Cause I can’t fix what's already broken
It all goes unspoken

One Last One
03:36
|
|||
One more cigarette while I wait for you to get here
So we can take a ride to nowhere in particular
We never get very far and I know that’s half my fault
Into the wound goes the salt
I want a scar
That’ll never wear off
Give me another song
Just one last one
It had it’s start
Right down the middle and through both our hearts
And it never mattered much what we knew all along
So into the wound we poured the salt
I want a scar
That’ll never wear off
Give me another song
Just one last one

Kinda Nice
03:43
|
|||
It was kinda nice
Listening to the birds outside
And what I heard coming from this different world
With my eyes closed it seemed mirrored to me
Like from a dream
But I was drinking all the whiskey
While you were asleep
I hope you'll forgive me
Oh, I could use a little a bit of trouble
Oh, we could be a tragedy
But I know it’s not really possible
So if you had looked before you took the leap
Would you have still fallen into me?
It was kinda nice
Just being outside
And thinking
But I can’t decide

Coming Back
03:11
|
|||
When you need to look me in my eyes
And when you need my smile
Just sit still for a while
Dream of me when you’re tired
Dream of me when you’re taking that long drive, it's alright
Let me be that tune that gets stuck on loop in your head
Picture my arms around your neck
Think of the things I’ve always said
Think what you’d say to me if it was you instead
But when you think you’ve lost what you’ve had
Don’t worry, I’m coming back.

Warning Shot
04:43
|
|||
I was hit without a warning shot
And when I looked up I remembered where I was
So I brushed the dirt off and all of the dust
And listened to the sounds bouncing across
‘Cause I knew all was not lost
I knew all was not lost
These kinda days remind me of a time and place
But I don't really like the way memories fade
Staring at the ceiling, I'm getting used to this feeling
And oh, it would be nice believing
That there was some kind of meaning
Oh, it would be nice believing
I am, oh why am I?
I know this river splits me
Between now and what's been
And though I try not to cross that bridge
I won't pretend I never did
I won’t pretend I never did
I was hit without a warning shot
When I looked up I remembered where I was
And I knew all was not lost
I knew all was not lost

Hiding Behind Sound Kingston, New York
Hiding Behind Sound is the psychologically accurate musical alias of New York drummer Sammi
Niss.
The luminous guitar sonics belong to the tradition of Radiohead. The earthy, half-broken intimacy of the writing owes something to Jeff Tweedy. When pressed, she calls it “space twang.”
