lyrics

Crying at the cinema, puking from the third floor
Stealing from the street sale, kissing at the front door
Smoking on the pavement, dialing you by accident
Wishing you’d have stayed and wondering where the day went

Wondering where the day went
Wondering where the day went
Listening to Pavement and wondering where the day went

Late nights in new lands, mid-run lemonade stand
playing with a strange band, all high-fives and hey mans
Only found one slipper, never wearing sunscreen
You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean

Wondering if this fun’s clean
Wondering if this fun’s clean
You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean

Rhythm in the bedroom, construction on the street
Our love is forbidden but we’re soaking in the heat
You make noises in your sleep, you’re so nervous cause you’re guilty
She thinks that you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy

I know that you’re filthy
I know that you’re filthy
She may think you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy

Our thrown clothes
A halo
Around my bed
And I – I –
I said you’re dead to me
You are dead to me
I’m just in the mess where you left me
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy
I’m under happiness where you left me
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy

about

Toronto native Charlotte Cornfield escaped to Montreal at the age of 17. In the fall of 2010 she returned home and buckled ... more down for four months to track her debut full-length effort, Two Horses. The record, a fleshed-out conceptual tour de force, reflects the duality of Cornfield's influences: the deep lyricism and raw emotion of Mitchell mixed with the hooky-ness of New York rock 'n' roll. less
