lyrics

when we were still young
out looking for shells
and you pushed your boat out
when i was caught in a swell
and i nearly drowned
in the late evening light
you just kept saying :
"you're alright! you're alright!"

you always knew
just what to say
to pull me back
when i was fading away
and i can be mean sometimes
i don't mean to yell
i wanna be with you
when we get outta this hell

how did we get into this
abyss?

you only talk
when you're asleep
is that what you want us to be?
and i pace around
while you're at the fair
looking for signs
that won't ever be there

how did we get into this
abyss?

how did we get into this?

Will Mitchell recommends:

Kind of Nice
by Julian Morena

Had the pleasure of helping produce this lovely record. Julian's music is perfect for a sunny morning or afternoon in your pajamas. If you like Paul Simon, Sufjan or Cat Stevens - give it a spin. Will Mitchell

Fire Bell
by Boo Reefa

This album and Semi-Rose are both must-listens. Offbeat, colorful, and true. The music is catchy and perfect for fans of interesting vocals such as Eels, Modest Mouse, and Pixies. Will Mitchell

Way Gone
by Will Stewart

Will has developed his own style through the years, but he's had a sound since the first time I met him - and it continues to this day. For fans of Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Tom Petty. Will Mitchell
