These Things
from Happy Birthday by Wilkes Oswald
lyrics
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
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

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.
