About this track
Written, performed and produced by Annie Rew Shaw Mixed by Grace Banks Mastered by Katie Tavini Artwork by Artemis Szekir-Rigas Lyrics: We sit for hours in your car, waiting for words to break Silence that lies in my mouth, I’ve grown accustomed to the Taste of not knowing where I stand With you, it’s always part of the plan You said that when he was born, I was expected to Fend for myself like the other children do But I don’t believe they could ever let me go Says the pain in your voice at the back of your throat Light falls in the dark of space Your grandmother’s words feel out of place When all you want is to hear her say ‘I’m sorry, forgive me, I’ll love you any way’ White linen dries on the lawn, all of the beds you’ve made Note it all down for a book you’ll write someday When things can get moving, moving on The tale you’ve been telling yourself for so long Light falls in the dark of space Your grandfather’s eyes follow your face And all you want is to hear him say ‘I’m sorry, forgive me, I’ll love you anyway’
