Live at Luchador

Maybe (Live)

swimfan in the basement

it’s good to know
that you don’t know
that i know everything about you
do you even know what day it is?
you see the way
i see your face
i play all your little games
so don’t make me wait for this

just let me be your valentine
leave it up to me
to make a mess of what isn’t mine
now you cant ask me to be your valentine
if i dont try
to not cross the lines
i just wanna cross your mind
can you be mine?

silence is a virtue
and you’re taking advantage
my dreams will come true
you’re just leaving me stranded
stranded

just let me be your valentine
leave it up to me
to make a mess of what isn’t mine
now you cant ask me to be your valentine
if i dont try
to not cross the lines
i just wanna cross your mind
can you be mine?

can you say
“can you be mine?”
mine

if i don’t try
to not cross the lines
i just wanna cross your mind
can’t you say
“won’t you be mine?”

Valentine's day

For all-girl band Acid Wave, new album heart2heart, set for release on May 5, 2023, centers around the joy that bursts through when we find our home in others, be it romantic or platonic. "Blushing" is the second single from heart2heart.

The Texas-based five-piece describe themselves as “besties,” and are constantly inspired by each other, and it’s on heart2heart that Acid Wave shows us what can happen when you surround yourself with those you really trust.

Drummer/vocalist and songwriter Audrey Villalobos began writing what would become heart2heart after she moved to Oklahoma due to her time in the Air Force. Keyboardist/vocalist Jet Gil-Robert, guitarist/vocalist Eva Vasquez, bassist/vocalist Isanette Olivarez, and drummer/vocalist Mary Moreck stayed in El Paso, Texas and the band worked remotely for several years to bring together the collection of songs.

“I just felt so much love and I wanted to put that into songs for my partner,” Villalobos says. But heart2heart isn’t just a love story; instead, it interweaves all the growing pains of learning to love yourself too.

Blushing

Bandcamp Pre-order

I think I'm better off alone
At least for now
I really think I mean it somehow 
Unlike the last time
Or the last last time
I fed it into their ears to make them think I wasn't undone

And it took a day or two 
But really a month felt straining to the tooth
But now I feel loose
The weight is gone and
I think I can finally say
I think I'm better off alone

Blushing
