Dark Water - The Lonely Together
Released 09/04/2021

I lost you in the ocean
It breaks my heart to say 
If only I could swim out there
So precious you to me...

If you push me in the water
This only ends one way
Don't push me in the water
Was the last I heard you say...

I waited for an hour
When I could have waited days
But I'm under so much pressure here
'Cos I've got nowhere to stay...

If you come down any harder
This ends the hardest way
Don't come down any harder
Was the last thing I could say...

And i'm finding it so hard to see...
I'm finding it so hard to breathe...
And i'm finding it so hard to believe...

Dark Water's killing me...

Everything Viewed Backwards Through The Rearviewmirror

Dark Water

'Keep A Secret' is the 6th cut from Edinburgh dream rock outfit The Lonely Together’s long-awaited debut LP, 'Everything Viewed Backwards Through The Rearviewmirror' - a direct and confident power-pop romp through life’s challenges, told through a magical mash-up of styles and inspiration.

Keep A Secret

|| SHOTS FIRED… ||

You go slow, so slowly
In the hope they won’t see you leave
Run home, through the trees
Carried by the grief

You can’t sleep in your own home
When was the last time that you loved someone?

A ghost, you to me
Hiding in the leaves
It was love at first sight
On a mountainside

The saddest of all church choirs
The loudest of all shots fired…

I bleed, but I go on
It hurts more now you’re gone
This is the worst thing I’ve ever done
Holding on to the smoking gun

You can’t sleep in your own home
When was the last time that you loved someone?
Your final swan song
When was the last time that you needed someone?
When was the last time that you loved someone?

The saddest of all church choirs
The loudest of all shots fired…

Shots Fired...

Don’t Ask Don’t Get

Heartbreak 101
Show me the ropes
Put my greatest regrets
Under the microscope

Pushing on summer
Crush on each other
We were just kids
And you said “One day I’ll read your palm…”
But you never did 

Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone

In our golden summer nights
Did I imagine?
In our faultless perfect days
Did we pretend?

I was too far behind you
But I had to find you
It’s now or it’s never
But when I found you, you were with him
And I lost you forever

Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone
I’ve spent my life sinking
I’ve spent my life thinking
All of these thoughts away
But they’re here to stay
Have you learned your lesson yet?
You don’t ask don’t get

Lost in longing
Hooked on wanting
Pulled from somewhere, I don’t know
I won’t be there
You don’t need me
Soul leaves body
So enamoured

Stop telling me to stay
Stay

[Chorus]

Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone
I’ve spent my life sinking
I’ve spent my life drinking
All of these thoughts away
But you’re here to stay
Have you learned your lesson yet?
You don’t ask don’t get
Never forget 
You don’t ask don’t get

Endless Sunset Oblivion

Don't Ask Don't Get

Los Angeles

After passing out in Tennessee
I wake up in Los Angeles
“Look Ma’, I’m finally free...”
No one holding on to me

See you and me, we’re friends of the night
Closing bar after bar until morning light
We’ve seen things you’ll never see...
Far less even believe

Do you ever sometimes wish you could
Go back to when your life was good
Instead of doing all the other things you should...?

We were always meant to be together
but you stole my heart in Bronson Canyon
I didn’t think that life would ever get better
When we were Bulleitproof in the Frolic Room
I swear this Boulevard goes on forever...
but laid out in stars my journey here was ever clear…

Oh, Los Angeles...

Imagine living up in the hills...
Solving all your problems with pills
Living a life of abandon
Fast cars, cheap thrills

I’m the closest that I’ll ever be
Sitting in Boardners on North Cherokee
Tarot cards on the floor
Last call... “Two more...”

This isn’t what I came here to see
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
When the Chateau Marmont piano sounds so sweet....

We were always meant to be together
but you stole my heart in Bronson Canyon
I didn’t think that life would ever get better
When we were Bulleitproof in the Frolic Room
I swear this Boulevard goes on forever...
but laid out in stars my journey here was ever clear…

Everybody’s trying to get clean
Passing round the 714s
In a Studio City motel room
Wondering what it all means

Do you ever sometimes wish you could
Go back to when you’re life was good
Instead of paying to play West Hollywood

This isn’t what I came here to see
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
Sunset drunk, Look what you’ve done to me

Oh, Los Angeles...
(Oh, Los Angeles...)

Los Angeles

DARK WATER

I lost you in the ocean
It breaks my heart to say...
If only I could swim out there
So precious, you to me

If you push me in the water
This only ends one way
Don't push me in the water
Was the last I heard you say

I waited for an hour
When I could have waited days
But I'm under so much pressure here
'Cos I've got nowhere to stay

If you come down any harder
This ends the hardest way
Don't come down any harder
Was the last thing I could say

And I'm finding it so hard to see...
I'm finding it so hard to breathe...
And I'm finding it so hard to believe...

Dark water's killing me...
Dark water's killing me...
Dark water's killing me...
Dark water's killing me.
