-------------
Are you better off alone?
Or do you need a ride?
You walk along the pavement
And hide from the pain, wait for the night

And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?

You’re better than you think
And stronger than you know
Just need a little patience
There’s room in your heart for feelings to grow

And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?

Don’t let no one bring you down, down
Let life come and take you where it takes you, where it takes you

You only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You‘ll stay through the rain, wake in the light

Cos you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?

Leave Love Behind

This first single of a three song narrative will usher in Shallow Alcove's pop era. They have earned a loyal fan base from their EP "Acting Tough" and from their spring tour with Charlie Burg and Laura Elliott. With endearing verses that lead to an addictive chorus as nostalgic your first kiss (or your fist shot), “Blonde Phase” is a song for people that romanticize the past without getting stuck in it.

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight
You, you will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

I know you still hurt
I know you still love
I know you still believe
I promise, you will be loved

For the selfish you met
For the selfish, who didn't care
For the selfish, who took you for granted
For the selfish, who were not there

They will soon learn
They will soon be fair
They will soon become
They will soon care

Because there are

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight, tonight
You will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

The hurt
You once lived
The hurt
You could not forgive

The hurt
Will end
The hurt
Will end

Because there are

Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead
Better times ahead

You, you are so kind
You, you are so fine
You, you will shine, tonight, tonight
You will find

The love you needed
The love you sought
The love meant for you
Your love is not lost

Better Times Ahead

LYRICS

Tell me a little story
i wanna see the bright lights and end the night gory
hit me with a car and you can see more of me
I just wanna scare you and leave with a smile
Impactful memories stay a while

IVE GOT A LOT OF SHIT ON MY PLATE
THINK IVE LOST IT ALL I KNOW ITS WAY TOO LATE
IVE GOT A LOT OF EMPTY PLATES
IM BARELY HOLDING ON BUT ITS ALL MY MISTAKE
DUMP ME BY A LAKE AND MAKE SURE IM HANGING BY MY NAPE

Gambling life day by day
Choosing the right just maybe
Eat your heart out and it'll eat right back
Losing a smile nary a grin as the blood rushes fast

You see the entities circle your lap
Your red stained face and those sad eyes i will relish one day
I wanted you be there when I die but its okay
You don't need to see my face
I didn't calculate this risk but its too late

IVE GOT A LOT OF SHIT ON MY PLATE
THINK IVE LOST IT ALL I KNOW ITS WAY TOO LATE
IVE GOT A LOT OF EMPTY PLATES
IM BARELY HOLDING ON BUT ITS ALL MY MISTAKE
DUMP ME BY A LAKE AND MAKE SURE IM HANGING BY MY NAPE

IVE GOT A LOT OF SHIT ON MY PLATE
TO THINK THEY FOUND ME SWINGING SLOWLY WITH HALF OF MY FACE AND ONLY IM TO BLAME
GOT A LOT OF SHIT ON MY PLATE
IM BARELY HOLDING ON AS IS SO PLEASE DONT TAKE MY PLACE
THIS LIFE IS HARDLY BUT A GAME
