That way is just what it is
Can’t hear the same song twice
These daft fantasies of life
After your epiphany
There’s still the dishes and the laundry
Then you find yourself there again
Cooking up something for a friend
Making up for a small still life
And that other thing that I miss
Sunday afternoon domestic bliss
But what if the thing that you miss
Much more beyond just a kiss?
Nothing to do with something lived
Missing a frame of mind I used to have
That way is just what it is
Can’t hear the same song twice
These daft fantasies of life
After your epiphany
There’s still the dishes and the laundry

Nashville’s Passion Fruit Boys nail the effervescent janglepop of ’80s college radio with bright guitars and immediate hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2022
More feel-good indie from Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves, all bristling guitar tones and expansive choruses. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2021
