First school, drove right past it, That car was automatic At the edge of one age And the radio range Something cutting through the static And oh, all the other ways Try to figure out on your own time Oh, falling out of place Only catch it in your alone time The more I see, the less I know about it. The more I see, the less I know about it That best friend you had for ten years That video store just disappeared First person that you loved Last time you used algebra Guess some things gotta end here And oh, all the other ways Trying to hold your breath on a good thing Oh, falling out of place Thinking that you’re not but you should be The more I see the less I know about it. The more I see the less I know about it The more I see the less I know The more I see the less I know The more I see the less I know about it The more I see the less I know The more I see the less I know The more I see the less I know about it

Bedrock 03:30

I got this friend I like to carry on my shoulders He looks a lot like me I sort of hoped we’d grow apart as we got older But he’s getting awful heavy Look at that sky, covered in gold I can’t tell with my face to the ground Taking a lap, trying to get back Well I end up just driving around I can’t keep crawling back I’m out of the red then down to the bedrock I can’t keep crawling back I’m out of my head then down to the bedrock I keep this secret to myself cause I’m a soldier I got both feet on the ground But trying to leave this bed is just like lifting up a boulder And I don’t wanna talk right now Look at that sky, covered in gold I can’t tell with my face to the ground Headed out west, catching my breath Well I end up just driving around I can’t keep crawling back I’m out of the red then down to the bedrock I can’t keep crawling back I’m out of my head then down to the bedrock Down to the bedrock Down to the bedrock I can’t keep crawling I can’t keep crawling back I’m down I can’t keep crawling I can’t keep crawling back Down to the bedrock Down to the bedrock

Four years how you want to play this? You’re good now honey I’m still waiting And we’ve come a way from hiding in the rain Two kids lying in the basement And every time I run away You’re never far behind And any time I’m feeling safe You gotta wrong that right I gotta get along with life But you still run my mind So if you’re asking how I’ve been I’m gonna have to lie It’s gonna be a long long time It’s gonna be a long long time Phone calls yeah it’s been a while back You found love maybe I should try that And you’re growing up while I’m in a rut Don’t mind me if I never write back And every time I run away You’re never far behind And any time I’m feeling safe You gotta wrong that right I gotta get along with life But you still run my mind So if you’re asking how I’ve been I’m gonna have to lie Cause it’s gonna be a long, long time It’s gonna be a long long time. It’s gonna be a long long time It’s gonna be a long long time Cause every time I run away You’re never far behind And any time I’m feeling safe You gotta wrong that right I gotta get along with life But you still run my mind So if you’re asking how I’ve been I’m gonna have to lie It’s gonna be a long long time It’s gonna be a long long time

Stubborn Heart 02:39

We’re coming off of a long day We got a taste of the wrong way love I’m looking over the storm break But you’ve got a thing for the hard stuff Ooh, shake it off your back Making up a face until it’s stuck like that Ooh, dragging me around You push, you pull, you don’t back down Cause nothing is as strong as a stubborn heart And I can play along but the come down’s hard Well I know that you’re sweet when you sing that part, woah Come out and soak up the Sunday Try on that dress you forgot about It doesn’t have to be one way Put on that record we’ll drown this out Ooh, shake it off your back Someone’s getting cut if we play rough like that Ooh, all is fair in love You push, you pull, but I won’t budge Cause nothing is as strong as a stubborn heart And I can play along but the come down’s hard Well I know that you’re sweet when we sing that part, woah Woah, woah Stubborn, why you gotta be so stubborn Why you gotta be so stubborn Why you gonna be so stubborn, stubborn

Amsterdam 03:33
lyrics

It was always Amsterdam Where we would put the distance to an end We had a plan, Gonna lay it out on a queen sized bed Catching up on twenty-one Meet all your friends back home That was not what it was broke it off on the telephone It was always absolute Everybody said we were moving fast Now I’m pretty over school Switching out my books for the Eurail Pass And all these dreams of Amsterdam Where you’d surprise me with a yellow bike With a basket that didn’t match it That I guess I’ll never get to ride Oh oh calling it a change of plans Oh oh just a building on a postal stamp Oh oh change of plans Might have been a long shot Better that it’s gone if it’s gonna go But man you kind of messed me up Cause I don’t have a place to go back home Is this just twenty-one and somethings gotta give? Well I still got a bill for a ticket that I’m stuck with Oh oh calling it a change of plans Oh oh just a building on a postal stamp Oh oh just calling it a change of plans Oh oh just a building on a postal stamp Oh it’s a change of plans

Weatherman 03:05

Rolling down the window of the drivers seat Looking for a place to breathe Knowing where I’m at and where I’m meant to be Trying to close the space between But you’re just right not enough Look around you’re missing all the good stuff Small town big shot Four kids hanging in a parking lot Trying to know better than Counting on the weatherman Thoughts can take you on a ride I’m a satellite you’re a starry night And I’m just trying to stay between the lines Your own advice own advice yeah you're Just right not enough Look around you’re missing all the good stuff Small town big shot Four kids hanging in a parking lot Trying to know better than Just counting on the weatherman Counting on the weatherman Talking about summertime Hanging on sidelines Steady on landslides Over once you realized You were just right You were just right You were just right

Untouchable 02:47

Hold you by a thread That’s running through your head And it’s spinning over Can we get closer now It’s rolling down your neck I know you’re not your best Catch you stuck in trances Your eye dances around Three words you stole No truth untold Two parts, one whole Untouchable You told me something else Can’t put it on the shelf By the blackout curtains We talk in circles around You push me out the way Unsteady but I stay Honey two can play this But you’re my favourite still Three words you stole No truth untold Two parts, one whole Untouchable

Better When We're Falling Apart 03:06
lyrics

I know how your door sounds when it closes And I come running back before you know it I know every card to pull to break you But somehow I still love you while I hate you We’re washed out spinning around Get a rush before it hits the ground And we’re all torn apart but it fits just right We’re ripped nicely you’re my 501s We’re like ice cream running down my thumb And we light it watch it all burn up But I won’t let it I think we get better when we’re falling apart When we’re falling apart Every time we tell ourselves we’re finished Well it makes it that much sweeter when we’re in it But you’re my leather boots or that car that needs a boost There’s something ‘bout it I don’t wanna fix it We’re washed out spinning around Get a rush before it hits the ground And we’re all torn apart but it fits just right We’re ripped nicely you’re my 501’s We’re like ice cream running down my thumb And we light it watch it all burn up But I won’t let it I think we get better when we’re falling apart When we’re falling apart When we’re falling apart When we’re falling apart When we’re falling apart

Neon Stars 02:41

I met you on the rooftop Shining with the moonlight Honey you had me Said when’s the band gonna start? You got me in a bad way Caught me on my last legs Honey you held me And pulled me out of the dark Now I’m right back where you left me baby Drinking in that uptown bar Know I sound like such a drag here baby But oh we used to laugh so hard about it We were only kids back then Lying on some broke down car Thinking out loud dreaming under neon stars You were sleeping I was tracing Every part of you a constellation I knew you But I was terrified Sweet until the last drop Straight across the black top Lighting the night up And burning out in the sky Now I’m right back where you left me baby Drinking in that uptown bar Know I sound like such a drag here baby But oh we used to laugh so hard about it We were only kids back then Lying on some broke down car Thinking out loud dreaming under neon stars Thinking out loud dreaming under neon stars

Safe Flight 03:35
lyrics

Love don’t keep Sitting on runways Waiting on storm breaks Signalling back and forth Hundred feet Over the tropics We’re in the cockpit Trying to stay the course And we fought 'Til it came down on me enough to make my knees soft And you poured over onto me just like an eavestrough That filled up way too fast to hold Hearts don’t keep, Well in a suitcase We’re tangoing two-ways Dancing round where we stand Hotel sleeps Cold in November Holding an ember Looking for a place to land And we fought ’Til it came down on me enough to make my knees soft And you poured over onto me just like an eavestrough That filled up way too fast to hold, oh If we’re gonna take time If it ain’t a straight line We’re playing for the same side Hope you have a safe flight And if we’re gonna go there I don’t even know where Babe you were the best one I can catch the next one If we’re gonna take time If it ain’t a straight line We’re playing for the same side Hope you have a safe flight And if we’re gonna go there I don’t even know where Babe you were the best one I can catch the next one Have a safe flight

about

Indie trio Wild Rivers (Khalid Yassein, Devan Glover, and Andrew Oliver) have a gift for penning introspective lyrics and genre-fluid melodies that transmit wisdom beyond their years.Their anticipated full-length album, Sidelines—co-produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Sharon van Etten) and Wild Rivers and recorded in Connecticut, Los Angeles and Khalid and Devan’s college town of Kingston, Ontario (where the two originally met and began making music together)—touches on coming-of-age themes and embracing the unknown.

A portrait of their early post-college years, Sidelines is where Wild Rivers poured their collective impressions about merging into their mid-20s — a strange, liminal age where it’s easy to romanticize childhood. Sidelines, according to Andrew, looks back longingly upon “the time when you are truly present and you're not having this forward-thinking vision where you're worried about the next thing.”

“A lot of [Sidelines] is about perspective and longing to be somewhere that you're not, or trying to figure out how to get to a place that you want to be, whether it's physically, emotionally,” says Devan. “I think we're all kind of struggling with our sense of identity, in the stage of life that we're in.” Sonically, Wild Rivers pull from a spectrum of sounds, imbuing pop, rock, indie, and folk into each song’s blueprint. “We all listen to a wide range of music, from hip-hop to indie rock to pop,” Devan says. “We like to pull our favorite parts of every genre and patch them together and see what works and see what feels good."
