She said she hates not knowing She feels she's not growing She's always in pain She said a southern wind beckons And that's what she reckons She needs to sustain She said you'll land on your feet Someone will find you If that's what you need She said the memories were sweet Someone will find you Someone will find... She said the things that were precious Those intimate treasures Will always remain She said we've so long pretended Not what we intended Still no one's to blame She said they were memories of youth Someone will find you Will vanquish your blues She said it's an immutable truth That someone will find you Someone will find... She said we all suffer loss Someone will find you It's a matter of course She said you still taste of divorce Still someone will find you Someone will find... Someone will find you Someone will find... Someone will find you Someone will find... you She said... she said...

Stay True 03:05
Hope is on the sidewalk standing in the snow Waiting for the bus, it feels like all she's ever known She'll make her three connections It'll take her most the day Ronnie will be waiting for her in his prison greens Another Sunday spent among the dopers and the queens Trying to suss out why it is Things never go their way Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo She will do Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo To stay true Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo She was such a smart girl, she was mama's pride and joy She was such a pretty girl, pursued by every boy Then Ronnie came and Ronnie saw And Ronnie was so sweet And Ronnie knew just what to say to sweep her off her feet Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo She will do Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo To stay true Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo Her future feels a million miles away Her dreams feel like a million miles away Oh, happy feels a million miles away She knows he's not a bad kid, he's just misunderstood She just wants him to straighten out, she knows he's really good He's gotta get his shit together 'coz the baby's due in June And twenty's too damn young for your life to be a ruin Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo She will do Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo To stay true Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo...

Sweetheart 02:15
Let me call you sweetheart Try to understand When I call you sweetheart I feel as if I can See my future clearly just over the rise Shining right there in your pretty eyes When I call you sweetheart And I take your hand I feel your beating sweetheart You tell me I'm your man Oh everything I've dreamed of Everything I do Everything's for sweetheart, just for you Some days will be joyful Some be streaked with tears But I'll be right here across the many years Won't you call me sweetheart It goes right to my head When you call me sweetheart Lying in our bed May our days be filled with laughter Our nights be filled with song For with you you, sweetheart, is where I belong Yes, with you, sweetheart, is where I belong

Find A Way 03:19
In technicolor majesty you came into my monochrome world A living, breathing rhapsody Wrapped inside my fantasy girl But my hopes and dreamed ripped at the seams That tempest came and carried you away Oh how my heart screamed And oh how your lonely heart strayed Gonna find a way to satisfy you Every day I'll keep yo safe and warm Gonna find a way, a way into your heart Once upon a time you found your perfect man And gave him things you'd never given me And together you saw worlds that I will never see But every man you've ever loved has let you down And trust become a lost commodity But babydoll, I swear no one has loved you like I will Gonna find a way to satisfy you Every day I'll keep yo safe and warm Gonna find a way, a way into your heart Gonna find a way... Gonna find a way... Gonna find a way, a way into your heart Gonna find a way to satisfy you Every day I'll keep yo safe and warm Gonna find a way, a way into your heart Gonna find a way to satisfy you Every day I'll keep yo safe and warm Gonna find a way, a way into your heart Gonna find a way... Gonna find a way... Gonna find a way, a way into your heart

Kiss Me 04:00
Sunrise breezes whisper, I hear your name Sunset rainbows coursing through your hair and All my memories are touched by the things you've done and For so long now I have dreamed you in my heart so Kiss me like you're always gonna love me Kiss me all night long Moonlit hours, I get buzzed on your taste and My hand dances with your angel face and I swoon every time I feel you coming When you need me call my name and I'll come running Kiss me like you're always gonna love me Kiss me all night long Kiss me like you're never gonna leave me Kiss me like you've never, never kissed me before I melt every time I lay beside you I melt every time I'm safe inside you Kiss me like you're always gonna love me Kiss me all night long Kiss me like you're never gonna leave me Kiss me like you're never, never gonna kiss me again Never gonna kiss me again Never gonna kiss me again ...again

Broken 04:20
She's the wind in the leaves The rain on the street She may come but she'll leave A stain on my sheets And I'm broken She's broken We're broken She's the blood on my tongue The steady ring in my ear She could stay but she'll run Snd say she longs to be here And I'm broken She's broken We're broken We're broken She's the dream that I can't shake She's the hope that will not fade She's the lust I cannot sate She's my terminal fate She's the Spring in the air Summer's shimmering heat She's cut and mailed me her hair And keeps it trimmed very neat And I'm broken She's broken We're broken We're broken She's the dream that I can't shake She's the hope that will not fade She's the lust I cannot sate My terminal fate She's the dream that I can't shake She's the hope that will not fade She's the lust I cannot sate She's my terminal fate

He was going through the motions Bereft of expectation or belief He had no need for supervision His head filled with diversions, sweet and brief Woah, and though he thought he knew it all When he saw that different girl he realized His ignorance, it knew no bounds His thesis built on shaky ground For in those eyes He saw light, he saw love He saw countless possibilities he had only dared dream of 'Til the moment that she stepped into the life Of the desultory boy He found himself so far from home Decided it was time to start anew But comfort's short-lived, cold as stone When you're waking up in unfamiliar rooms No there's nothing quite as empty as The loveless kiss that desperate strangers share He kept count of all the broken hearts Left in the wake of his despair Still he saw light, he saw love He saw countless possibilities he had only dared dream of 'Til the moment that she stepped into the life Of the desultory boy We dream the dream of endless love But grow lazy and complacent in its glow And upon our waking we discover so many worlds That we have yet to know Oh we seek light, we seek love We seek countless possibilities we only dare dream of 'Til the moment we find we are not alone Like the desultory boy Oh he found light, he found love He found countless possibilities that he'd only dared dream of 'Til the moment that she stepped into the life Of the desultory boy

Oh don't tell me it's late Or talk of expiration dates We have come too far To be resigning The stars are not falling They're aligning Don't tell me our fate is sealed In time all will be revealed This is a moment That is defining The stars are not falling They're aligning If we get the hard part out of the way I know we'll live to love another day There can be no breaking, only bending On the road to a happy ending The stars are not falling They're aligning If we get the hard part out of the way I know we'll live to love another day There can be no breaking, only bending On the road to a happy ending We've been here before We'll make it through once more This is not new ground That we are mining The stars are not falling They're not falling The stars are not falling They're aligning They're aligning They're aligning

All the tears we cried All the nights we tried All we put aside All that made you ache All that made you break All we had at stake I don't wanna go Please don't say it's so I don't wanna know See if I go away There will come a day We've nothing left to say All the tears we cried All the nights we tried All we put aside All this love I've sown Like nothing I have know Yet nothing has there grown The heart craved what it craved Now the broken road is paved And nothing there is saved All the tears we cried All the nights we tried All we put aside All the tears we cried Now all those tears have dried

about

Love, loss, redemption and hope feature on this, the seventh release by Deerheart. Ranging from the folk-rock of opener "Someone Will Find You" to the grungy Americana of album closer "Marietta", with forays into 60's pop, R&B, rockabilly and flat out rockers in-between, "Everything Matters" finds Deerheart at his most musically eclectic and lyrically incisive.
