Worried Bird 04:10
WORRIED BIRD V1 I can imagine her too clearly/ the girl you held so dearly/ never thought I was that kind/ nothing to hide behind/ I reach reach reach/ you’re far far far away/ like an apple on a branch/ and I shake shake shake C And I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and you can’t find me/ and that feeling only makes it worse/ and I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and if this falls through/ I might not find my way again Stop, stop, stop looking away (repeat) V2 I’m so afraid you’ll leave me/ that I’m convinced you will/ just once you’ve had your fill/ and it’s complicated/ knowing things will fail/ I can’t learn to be alone/ or on my own C And I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and you can’t find me/ and that feeling only makes it worse/ and I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and if this falls through/ I might not find my way again Stop, stop, stop looking away (repeat)
2.
Too Young 03:31
TOO YOUNG V1 All of the moments side by side/ and all the waiting/ I made a promise to be kind/ but I betrayed it/ I tried to keep it to myself/ wanted to save it/ you always know when something’s wrong/ and so I slipped away C Maybe it’s my selfishness/ or maybe I’m too young/ I always hold a little bit/ back with all I’ve done/ so things fade away/ things fade away from me V2 I always take what I can get/ and keep what’s staying/ instead of thinking of regrets/ and your heart breaking/ I want to tell you what I’ve done/ but I’m afraid/ I’ve always been a loaded gun/ and you got in the way C Maybe it’s my selfishness/ or maybe I’m too young/ I always hold a little bit/ back with all I’ve done/ so things fade away/ things fade away from me
3.
Wax 03:17
WAX V1 Glass and shell and coral and wax/ I keep too much of the past/ I just want to make it last/ somehow I keep going faster/ and all the little things/ I keep forgetting/ I thought I knew myself/ but it turns out I don’t know C And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/ just have to tell myself no (Repeat) V2 Paper cuts that keep getting deeper/ I’ve become an afternoon sleeper/ make my life inside the dream/ makes it seem so easy to keep it/ but if I’m holding on/ I’ll stay this way too long/ I thought I knew myself/ but it turns out I don’t know C And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/ just have to tell myself no (Repeat) Bridge After all I run around/ just trying to come back down and meet you (Repeat) After all I run around/ just trying to come back down and meet you, sore (Repeat) C And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/ just have to tell myself no (Repeat)
4.
DAYS IN OTHER DAYS V1 I woke to sirens like loons/ bodies stuck to mine like glue/ he said he might visit soon/ but tells me/ he’s too afraid to leave home C And I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days/ I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days (Repeat) V2 I sit/ separate my dreams/ ship hulls/ liquid dark drifting/ they said we’re glad you haven’t changed/ in wreckage/ everything’s the same C And I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days/ I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days (Repeat)
5.
Cut It Up 03:00
CUT IT UP V1 I never hold out, or let doubt/ stop me from feeling this way/ but maybe this time I should try/ cause I don’t know how long you will stay/ you swore you’d be true, me and you/ but sometimes the heart can’t lie/ and I stayed awake for a night/ fearing what I would find C Cut it up, it’s all the same/ cut it up or break it/ I’m just another heart for you to play with (Repeat) V2 Sometimes I can’t find where my mind is/ and I wander around for a while/ you made me believe that you wouldn’t leave/ that your love was a thing that was mine/ but I understand that I can’t/ tell you which way you should feel/ you don’t have to decide, take your time/ just know that it’s something that’s real C Cut it up, it’s all the same/ cut it up or break it/ I’m just another heart for you to play with (Repeat)
6.
Losing Touch 04:11
LOSING TOUCH V1 Do you really think her childish ways will keep you fine/ do you really think her poetry compares to mine/ I’m not in love with you but you and I know I wasn’t cruel/ I always tried to stand by/ even though you’re left behind C I’ve never known the heartache you have/ and maybe I’m asking too much/ but when I think back on what we had/ I can’t imagine losing touch V2 I remember when you said I was your only friend/ we were so young then, I can’t believe how long it’s been/ I know how you’re losing/ I know you want to remove me/ so I’ll just watch you slowly forget C I’ve never known the heartache you have/ and maybe I’m asking too much/ but when I think back on what we had/ I can’t imagine losing touch
7.
LOCKED AND LOADED V1 Maybe I’m not in love/ maybe I’m just lonely/ If only I could know for sure/ when it’s late at night/ and it’s you my body’s holding/ it’s then I think that I could understand C Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded (Repeat) V2 Covered up my flaws/ and I tried to make it simple/ but all it did was make me lose my mind/ opened up your world/ and you let me see your secrets/ and now I’m left digging for more to find C Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded (Repeat) V3 Loneliness creeps up/ and I get so damn distracted/ and act like I’m the only one who cares/ I’ve got so much more/ and I swear I’ll show it to you/ just wait until my feet are on the floor C Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded (Repeat)
8.
Sugar 04:11
SUGAR V1 Sugar when we’re waking up/ it’s like I’m looking at a four-leaf clover/ kind of funny how we found each other/ from the distance we were running over/ I know, I know that we’re still new/ but don’t think that I’ll get used to you C Breaking, feel the blood in my skin/ what I remember in the dark/ and now these secrets/ are something to hold on to/ no I won’t let this fall apart V2 Somewhere on a pull-out couch in Chesaning/ you said you loved me/ had to keep my heart from falling out/ and lying there on the sheets beside me/ and though the months are racing by/ they don’t have a hold on you and I C Breaking, feel the blood in my skin/ what I remember in the dark/ and now these secrets/ are something to hold on to/ no I won’t let this fall apart
9.
THE ONLY GOOD THING V1 In the dark I try to find you/ but all alone it’s hard to see/ keep and looking, words behind you/ but don’t turn back, it’s only me C I tell myself to stop/ and I tell myself stop worrying/ or you’ll lose the only good thing that you’ve got/ and you keep standing up/ sit back down, stop hurrying/ but maybe you still want love on the rocks V2 When the distances get further/ when an hour is a day/ I dig the holes a little deeper/ I stop knowing what to say C I tell myself to stop/ and I tell myself stop worrying/ or you’ll lose the only good thing that you’ve got/ and you keep standing up/ sit back down, stop hurrying/ but maybe you still want love on the rocks V3 I can’t hide out from this much longer/ because some fears never go away
10.
Wonder 03:39
WONDER V1 Colors fading, disengaging, all I wanted was to hold/ I see you changing, rearranging, the winter out an open door/ and when you welcome me back/ I plan on staying the same/ forget the power that I hold C I had a dream that I lost you but you were awake and I had to take your place/ what this selfishness cost you/ down in the basement, searching for something like me/ and now I wonder what it really means for you to be alone/ yes I wonder what it really means for you to be alone V2 The weekend’s waiting, you try to save me, think that I’ve fallen from the light/ pretend you’re thinking, care that I’m sinking, until I’ve gone out of your sight/ and I’ve lost something again/ the water stays in the lake/ and you’re left drowning on the shore C I had a dream that I lost you but you were awake and I had to take your place/ what this selfishness cost you/ down in the basement, searching for something like me/ and now I wonder what it really means for you to be alone/ yes I wonder what it really means for you to be alone

about

"Days in Other Days", the first full length released by the dream-pop duo Nightlife has been dropped. This 10-track album has everything light and magical from the first two EPs, but is gently paired with more thoughtful lyricism and whimsy. The pouring vocals and deep bass create an atmosphere of mysticism, made tangible through the personableness of the song writing.

An album written over the course of more than a year, the story throughout is an eclectic compilation of loves lost and found. The result is a sort of synth based diary: personal and poetically candid.

about

Nightlife Ann Arbor, Michigan

Darin Rajabian and Caroline Myrick met at a Michigan house show in early 2010. They soon discovered a mutual infatuation with dream-life, dancing, and pop music, and began work on a new project to incorporate Caroline’s soft vocals with Darin’s classic euro-disco inspired tracks. The music evolved, and after months of work, they formed the sound of Nightlife. ... more
