Never knew you, wish I did
Other sisters, they show up to school hand in hand
I’m staring again
Born to people who hid their fears
Whisper softly, “I wish that I could disappear”
We learned not to hear
That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us
Another wedding on the lawn
Caught your eye for barely a moment too long
And then it was gone
Catholic family, never planned
Pass the wine and I feel your eyes on my hands
We're drinking again
That look I can't help but see
It finds its way into me
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of the family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us
And somewhere in your face I saw
All of our family flaws
Our issues they've become our only bond
Just came to quietly discuss
Still counting on your trust
To promise me you won't have kids like us

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
