Was it a calming night partner?
Did you laugh ‘til the sun writes the sky?
Was it a knife-fight?
Was it a lifetime?
Did she wear you down
Wear you in
Sacrificial
Did she tear you right down the middle?
And, in the right way
does she ever call you
I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
Walk me outside, babe
It's more than I can hold
Sweet isolation
So close your eyes
We like it like that
Did we do the right thing
Did we say the wrong line?
Whenever I feel locked out
Come back
Whenever I see you look down
not looking up
Take it easy
I just wanna hold you
I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
Nothing like letting go
With nothing left to hold
Was it a calming night partner?
Did you dance ‘til the dawn lights the night?
Was it a knife fight?
Was it a lifetime?
Did she pull you in, wear you down
Sacrificial?
And tear you right down the middle
And in God's view
Does she ever call you?
I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
And on my side
The One is listening.
I'll have a hidden hold.
I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
And on my side
The One is listening.
I'll have a hidden hold.
Sweet isolation

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
