These Things 03:56
Girl, you've been on my mind For too long, for too long And tonight I'm gonna have myself a drink I'll try to forget these things. Oh these things You thought that we could skip by the pond and be like Your mom and dad would walk us down but here's life But tonight, there's just something new Cherry blossom, you don't have a clue Those wide hips, those pretty lips I've been having dreams All those nights with me, I can't sleep Your scent is lingering You thought that we could skip by the pond and be like Your mom and dad would walk us down but here's life Ooh you got me going down Ooh you got me turning upside down You're such a bad girl
2.
Come and meet me at the southern point Water's clear, low tide, not a cloud in the sky Feel the waves catch my bones again Feel my body as my soul's parting And you know it could be true But it couldn't be true to you Man in blue comes to talk to you Always up to something new But it's just a suit Fool's may say we live in paradise But it don't mean nothing Unless you're around me And you know it could be true But it couldn't be true to you Always getting closer Just to drift away again Thought I used to know her In the end its all the same
3.
Felt you board the train Saw you down the drain Higher up, lay 'em down Take you out She's not making a sound Shit hit the stream Felt like a scream Play it down Stay on the ground There's no time to waste Turn is mine to roll the dice I see clear, crystal plane I see wide, a vision of pain Head roll like a hound Change your mind Lets go and run this town Stop in your tracks Stay on the ground
4.
Happy Birthday to you.

about

Wilkes Oswald Miami, Florida

4 dudes in Miami formed a band in 2009 called Wilkes Oswald. Influenced individually and collectively by acts such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Muse, Daft Punk, and Kanye West.

No two live shows by Wilkes Oswald have ever been the same; they get off on the art of spontaneous, improvised sequences in their live shows; sometimes completely improvising a new song on the spot.
