In Your Prime

Intertidal

take as long as you like
you’re only halfway home
just breathe it in, listen
cause they tried calling your phone
can’t help but take this time in solitude, that’s the way for you

break, apart from what you know
it will be good for you
just take it in, forgiven

talk about the things you need
post a thought and throw it all away
cause time after time when there’s no one around
remember all the things you lost in these empty towns

shape, the world with your mind
go on distract yourself
pretend it’s real, imagine
cause they tried breaking you down
sponsored algorithm, unavoidable
time lost immeasurable

talk about the things you need
post a thought and throw it all away
cause time after time when there’s no one around
remember all the things you lost in these empty towns

empty towns

ONE MORE STEP

I’ve been waging a war in the darkness 
Charging like a cavalier
And waving a flag with a plan of attack 
To make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

With the weight of the world on my shoulders
God, I hope the greener grass is near
‘Cause I’ve burned every bridge, saying “right, this is it!” 
Time to make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?
The only one?
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?

Take me somewhere with a foreign tongue 
And maybe then I’ll know my life’s begun, oh

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, to leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
I never see the sun, but I dream of breaking through the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

One More Step / Make It Home

One More Step

Life seems to be passin me by 
and I don’t know if I should be takin a left or a right
I’m so tired of constantly runnin back and forth 
I take 3 steps forward and end up where I was before 

Help me I seem to be stuck in a loop 
and I’m not sure where I am or what to do
I’m so sick of constantly makin the same mistake
But I keep on runnin til my legs break

I can’t get enough

Keep dreaming and you’ll get your goal 
but if every goal was got we’d spin out of control
and I can’t imagine livin just to cook and clean 
So I keep on dreaming livin in the in between 

I never got the opportunity
to sell my soul no devil it’s just me
I was waiting at the crossroads but no one came
So I keep on runnin til there’s fame to my name 

I’m pushin my luck 
I can’t get enough

Help me I seem to be stuck in a loop 
Help me I seem to be stuck in a loop
Help me I seem to be stuck in a loop
Help me I seem to be stuck in a loop
and I’m not sure where I am or what to do
I’m so sick of constantly makin the same mistake
But I keep on runnin til my legs break

I’m pushin my luck 
I can’t get enough

“Honeymoon” is the first single to be released off of their upcoming EP, which narrates a journey of womanhood. The story starts with “Honeymoon”, taking a fond look back on the sweetness of childhood rebellion and the sense of freedom and indestructibility you feel as a teen. Withers lyrically recounts stories from her formative years as her now adult self, sharing “It’s nice to have an uplifting sense of appreciation for my own personal experiences which have moulded me even if they didn't seem so poignant or great at the time, how we know not what we have until it’s gone. With that being said there is nothing melancholy about this narrative, I have such a tenderness and affection for my teen self, an enjoyment to revisit her and a continuation of personal growth and one day looking back at myself now with a similar fondness.” Singing, “It was a honeymoon, a cocoon, feeling like someone new”, the music is driving yet ethereal with pop elements that will have you singing the hook all day long.
