carrrson WHY NOT is in my opinion one of the most underrated bands of all time. And their debut album is just proof of that. A really fun set of songs to listen to with emotional rich lyrics that bring together an explosive experience. Favorite track: IN LOVE WITH THE SOUND.

I can remember what went wrong It didn’t hit me till now Why am I lying on the phone? I couldn’t let you know I’m gonna shoot you in the head Lost in the moment, there it was You try the best that you can You shoulda figured out what it’s all about, they don’t understand I’m gonna let you know When I shoot you in the head

TO LISTEN IN 03:01
I don’t wanna say that I know everything I don’t wanna think about anything really right now Coming at it different almost every day I wouldn’t wanna do it any differently right now But I’ve always known something was a coming And I’ve always known it would feel a little funny I see it now Effectively afraid to listen in When I find all the answers I will run back home What can make me think I’m getting closer babe I can’t even think about everything that I’m doing now Save it to consider it another day I’m still tryna get a grasp on what has happened since I moved out I don’t know what I can write now I don’t wanna see you suffering I don’t wanna see you go down I don’t wanna be over it And I’ve always known something was a coming And I’ve always known it would feel a little funny I see it now Effectively afraid to listen in When I find all the answers I will run back home I feel it now Effectively afraid to listen in When I confront the answers I will run back home

Enter reality, who is in charge now I couldn’t bare to see everything falling down Questioning all of it, doin alright though Hella catastrophes, instead of reacting go Talking ‘bout how you have it under control and I’m in love with the sound It’s bringing me down But I don’t care Sitting for hours, my head under shoulders Trynna alleviate, albeit never works How am I influenced by my perception ‘Cause when I look left I see the right direction Talking bout how you have it under control and I’m in love with the sound It’s bringing me down But I don’t care I wanna hear it when it all comes out I’ll be waiting right here taking all of my time I’m in love with the sound It’s bringing me down But I don’t care
4.
I hear just what you’re saying I promise I won’t forget about it I see the struggle you’re facing And I know I don’t know what I’m even doing Beneath all of the layers Pass by, each night another something It took too much to get here Gotta recommend to take a minute Take a little time away Sounds like you need it You need it Spent years needing a reason Believing nothing could ever happen Slow rise, how high the vision And I know and I know that I gotta chase it Just need that reassurance Somehow, some way to keep on going Ignore bad intuition And continue not to think about it Take a little time away Sounds like you need it You need it

RIGHT NOW 04:11
I’m feeling quite a lot let down Like no one else is helping out Can never seem to get away But never really fought back You try to stay in tune with that Or barely faking till persuasion of You tryna raise your self esteem But everyone digs into me I never really fought back Say the words to me I know that So now I’m driving down the highway Am I ever gonna fight back? I just gotta try to slow down and help myself out It’s just like how I’m tryna navigate the middle of a crisis I can’t wait to turn around It’s just the way I feel right now It could’ve never been this way It’s easier to think about We would’ve made it to the bay I never woulda called that I’m better off alone in here I feel it coming on so strong I wanna make the vision clear So so listen in and drift along I never really fought back Say the words to me I know that So now I’m driving down the highway Am I ever gonna fight back? I just gotta try to slow down and help myself out It’s just like how I’m tryna navigate the middle of a crisis I can’t wait to turn around It’s just the way I feel right now It’s just the way I feel right now
6.
Gotta make up my mind It’s hard enough But it’s fine, oh quite alright Gotta get what’s in outside So marvelous What I do to save my pride Even though I know it’s not my fault I wanna keep trying to move it on I’m not gonna waste my time just faking to cover up With you right by my side, it’s obvious I’m alive Baby you’re my kind When I feel you I can see I’m falling Baby you’re alright I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’ Gotta think of other lines So harsh to judge I could fight for all my life What does it imply It’s ominous But I swear it will be fine Why do I struggle to tell the truth I wanna be honest with you Won’t ever be so fake with each other Never hurts to try I’ll follow up when it’s right Baby you’re my kind When I feel you I can see I’m falling Baby you’re alright I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’ Watching closely, never fading out Just like my love for you Baby you’re my kind When I feel you I can see I’m falling Baby you’re alright I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’

GOLDN 03:35
Waiting around for myself now Days in and out, tryna somehow grow It’s not as simple as we have been told, oh I’m lazing about for a reason A face in the crowd, while the seasons go Outside my house, oh It’s nothing - I didn’t even notice It got so cold here and now I’m frozen Wish I could wake up then, open my eyes and Everything’s golden I’m patient enough to resent it There’s grace in the love that I’m lending out I’ll share what I have found I’m waiting around for myself now Daze in and out, let the sunlight go Until it shows, oh It’s nothing - I didn’t even notice It got so cold here and now I’m frozen Wish I could wake up then, open my eyes and Everything’s golden Waiting for the hope to happen Let it go Really need to let some light in Just like gold It never comes
8.
NYC 04:16
Once in a while I get out and I’m all over you Walking about tryna bask in repulsive perfumes I should’ve figure by now how to get along I wish I could’ve found out before I was gone Hallowing memories remembered but never just right Hopping the gates at the train to get to the east side I tried to call and fill you in I couldn’t find you all night But I won’t give in to the light I should’ve figured by now how to get along I wish I could’ve found out before I was gone Once in a while you will break And start falling apart and you wait And you’re shocked When the taste gets to bitter and brown Then it’s gone
9.
DESPERATE 03:38
Desperate callin’ Repaint the blue walls Set somewhere that you and I know It takes some patience Seeing what you’re saying Complexity so vexing and I can see you Struggling with pain inside your innocence Despite all of the love you give me Oh my beanie Can you hear crying Way across the driftless Out somewhere that only I know Ain’t it some drama Tears me apart love I never came close to helping but I can see you Struggling with pain inside your innocence Despite all of the love you give me Oh my beanie I never could break the cycle It’s impossible To find a way Just try to move on now cause I’m done I can see you Struggling with pain inside your innocence Despite all of the love you give me Oh my beanie

SAME MOVIE 04:05
Spent all day with the same movie playing in my head Repeat threefold till it’s over and my Time’s slipping its the best way out from the real life pressure on and on no doubt It’s tough wishing for a change so late Gotta make another dime gotta die another day But it’s ok in the present made up of your past intention gotta make more love Spent all day kinda stuck in the past Kept a record playing tryna make it all last but I’m Set back it's the way it goes So typical you don't know what I'm really thinking and it’s So clear that I won’t stay gotta say so long gotta do another thing But you’re way out in the present made up of your past decisions gotta make more fun But if you don’t forget about my heart I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever If you don’t forget about my heart I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever And if you wanna get around and go far I could always let you and we could try to ride together It comes and goes and One day you will notice It’s not irregular I see the comfort in not really going outside You know it ain’t good but I think it’s a matter of movement to keep us alive But if you don’t forget about my heart I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever And if you wanna get around and go far I could always let you and we could try to ride together It comes and goes and One day you will notice It’s not irregular
