You could tell I was nervous and that's nothing new.
You said "Come with me, there's something that I want to show you."
So, expecting anything, I took your hand reluctantly.
It wasn't long until you were saying "sorry."
I barely knew your name, but I was intrigued.
You said "Love is guess and check" and I guess I would agree.
I barely knew your name, but there I was in the passengers seat
to see if I had guessed correctly.
That's when your shirt got caught in a barbed wire fence and I kissed you, in the freezing cold.
I didn't know that you smoked.
That's when we got in your car and you drove back home 'til you spun out, we were close to death.
And I held my breath just for you.
Just for you.
You said you wanted movie scenes and melodies,
but it's a lot of pressure trying to be the man of someone's dreams.
So, I put my guard up, naturally
and I lost sight of you along the way.
That's when your shirt got caught in a barbed wire fence and I kissed you, in the freezing cold.
And I should have known that you smoked.
That's when we got in your car and you drove back home 'til you spun out, we were close to death.
And I held my breath just for you.
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
Scottish rockers strip back their epic sound for a live session recorded in a converted 19th-century Glasgow church. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 19, 2015

The style of singing and lyrics fit this song so beautifully. It get's out all the pain of losing someone you care about while wishing them well. The whole album is solid however and I'm super happy to own this. RMP
