Indie Pop / Rock Playlist | BIRP! July 2025

The cherry blossom start
A summer with all the bugs
We stumble out for air
Like we've never seen the world
The tags inside our collars
Cut them out for good
And wash them till they're soft

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine

The skin we lost is settled
In corners we don't go
And growing like the guilt
Of never calling home

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine
I can tell
You're in it till you can't be seen
For a while
And then we're trading allergies

A Sweet Thought

Auto psycho

You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memories
You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

How You Love Someone

Verse 1]
It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t chase,
it doesn’t ask to take its place.
It stands in stillness, soft and kind —
a quiet love, not far behind.

[Verse 2]
It’s not the spark that burns and fades,
but steady flame that gently stays.
Not rushing in, not drawing lines —
just holding on through passing time.

[Chorus]
🕯️ Love that waits — just outside the door,
doesn’t push, doesn’t ask for more.
It stays through silence, loss, and doubt —
and when you’re ready, you’ll find it there… still.

[ bridge]

[Instrumental interlude]
( warm ambient background, echo gitar)

[Verse 3]
It heard your tears, it knows your fear,
but never walked away from here.
It waits with grace, not with demand —
[ bridge]
a lantern glowing in your hand.

[Chorus – with harmony]
🕯️ Love that waits — just outside the door,
doesn’t push, doesn’t ask for more.
It stays through silence, loss, and doubt —
and when you’re ready, you’ll find it there… still.

[Outro – whispered]
It never left.
It only waited.
