lyrics

Walking through this hot summer day, just me and you and the two of them
The new objects of your deepest affection, the root from which new love stems
And I want so, to just be happy for the three of you, but mostly I feel so cold
So selfish and concerned with what I could lose, scared to be left alone

And you know mine is, an awkward sort of love
A bittersweet sort of passion
With the terror of a prophecy self fulfilled
That my sun will be eclipsed, again

You say I've got nothing to fear, that my place in your heart is secure
But I can't shake the way it feels, 'cause I've been replaced before
And you tell me, exactly what I need to hear, to understand your heart
But still I can't help but feel, that we've grown just a bit apart

And you know mine is, an awkward sort of love
A bittersweet sort of passion
With the terror of a prophecy self fulfilled
That my sun will be eclipsed, again

Please don't blame yourself
You've done everything right
But you know that I'm a mess sometimes
And I'll beat my demons back, again

I'm sorry I can be so weak, that I need to be consoled
I think I just need time to get used to it, for this new feeling to take hold

And you know mine is, an awkward sort of love
A bittersweet sort of passion
With the terror of a prophecy self fulfilled
That my sun will be eclipsed, again

From folk to funk, it's Tyberg's unique, geek-rocker gaze that unifies his musical eclecticism. Can't rock on a banjo, you say? Just try and stop him. ... more
