about

Written by Owen Ashworth

lyrics

waded out into the tide
stung by jellyfish & died
left a wife & child behind
ages 36 & 9

Christmas morning pictures fading tinsel glare
Kim how long you gonna stare

never sleep without a light
hate aquariums alright
older boyfriends all your life
& usually they have a wife

blame yourself blame your mother blame the sea
blame a lover blame psychiatry
to never know what kind of man your father’d be
how you’d wished he’d kept a diary

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
