Adam goes to work at the outlet mall
Melting into nothing when he gets a call
Chloe says, "I've got something to say you"
He says, "I gotta go now, Chlo, I'll see you soon"
They grab a couple pretzels after Adam's shift
Drop a penny in the fountain, he says, "Make a wish"
Adam sees her smile fade and says, "What's wrong?"
She says, "I'll love you 'til forever but our time's not long"
She got the test results and it's not what they've been told
She says, "It's you who's gotta push on through"
Adam says, "That can't be, you've been feeling well
There must be some mistake and I think time will tell
We will be together 'til the bomb drops
'Til the Mariners win the pennant and all wars will stop"
She grins a little weakly and she holds his hand
And says, "You'll still have all your friends and you'll still have your band"
He says, "I'd throw it all if you could stay with me
I thought we'd live out in the country 'til we're eighty-three"
These guys tick every box for what I want in music. The melodies, the harmonies, the lyrics. There's a character limit so I'll say there are few perfect records in the world and this is one of them. Karma Gambit
Every song title (and every lyric) is depressing as hell, but it somehow manages to make you feel better about life at the same time. And isn't that perhaps the noblest thing music can do? Karma Gambit
