about

"23" is the first single from our upcoming sophomore album.

lyrics

Down Laundry Hill
All along Park Road
There’s a runway that takes you out of Cobh
Sometimes when I play in the bars down town
Sat in the corner I see your ghost

I wanna know when I’m slowing down and walking past 23
Do you remember me?
And even though I feel happier now I can still hear you say
You get one chance to fly away

Last time we spoke
God it felt so strange
What to say when your world’s been rearranged
Wrong cubicle
With your boss that hates you on a staff night out
Got a forehead made to pull a tie around
Then we’ll all act stupid come Monday morning

I wanna know when I’m slowing down and walking past 23
Do you remember me?
And even though I feel happier now I can still hear you say
You get one chance to fly away

And to be clear
There are beautiful people
But do they wanna be here?

I always said I would follow you
I was so sure that I wanted to
But now it’s gone and it’s killing me
To watch you become what I couldn’t be
