On The Other Side

Sunblur

How many times do I have to pass you by?
Tryna pretend that I’m ok 
Yeah, I’m just fine 

Wish you would stay awake
Not stay away 
Not stay away
Wish you would stay awake
Not stay away 
Not stay away

'Cause I’m too tired of hanging around
(Hanging around)
You left me 
Bleeding out all over the ground

I’m lost, You’re found
You’re lost, I’m found (x4) 

I walk through the town
Why’s it so loud?
(Why's it so loud, uh oh)
I think that my world’s been 
Turned upside down
(Turned upside down, uh oh) 

You’re a million miles away
But you’re still stuck in my head
(Still stuck in my head, You're still stuck in my head) 
I’m a million miles away
And I’m still stuck in my bed
(Still stuck in my bed, I'm still stuck in my bed) 

Cuz I’m too tired of hanging around
(Hanging around)
You left me bleeding out all over the ground

I’m lost, You’re found
You’re lost, I’m found (x4) 

Look what you've done
Thought this would just be fun
Look what you've done
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around

How Many Miles Is Too Far?

They Spent No

This new indie album is my way of capturing the feeling of autumn nights, quiet rooms, and the strange beauty of being close to someone while the world fades outside. The songs are minimal in words but heavy in mood — sweaters, rain, shadows, and light all becoming part of the story. It’s melancholic but also cosy, a blend of intimacy and distance, memory and desire. These tracks live somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s mysticism, Beach House synths and the hazy trance of indie and dream-pop.
