lyrics

3 - Undertow

what did you see
when you looked around?
the trophies of your golden years
were nowhere to be found

how could you not know?
how could you not see?
that every fucking accolade you got
meant nothing to me

you didn't walk back, you didn't make a sign
you didn't reach out for the rescue line
you said goodbye without saying a word

I love you now like I loved you then
teenage boys with the world ahead
you couldn't ever see, couldn't ever see
couldn't imagine that you'd flee
you went up high to go so low
floating away in the undertow

I went to the spot
where we'd been before
the Golden Ears still listen to
our footsteps on the forest floor

my memory is sharp
your face doesn't fade
the world you chose to leave behind
won't ever go away

you didn't walk back, you didn't make a sign
you didn't reach out for the rescue line
you said goodbye without saying a word

I love you now like I loved you then
teenage boys with the world ahead
couldn't ever see, couldn't ever see
couldn't imagine that you'd flee
you went up high to go so low
floating away in the undertow

Kliffs Berlin, Germany

Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers. They channel the quiet of early morning sun rays tickling cloud banks and mix it up with songs better suited to late-night inner city bicycle rides.
