You better give me a break,
I can't keep living like this,
I think I'm lying to myself,
You say that we are meant to be,
That I should give it some time to really see,
But the fires, the fires are too damn hot,
And the burning desire between us is not,
And I can not eat, I can not sleep, I'm losing track of what I keep,
You aren't my Shepard and I'm not a sheep.
I swear you're like a snowless winter
You make sense somewhere, just not here
Oh you're like a flameless lighter
Trying to convince that you're still shining brighter
Just the other day Dee and I were walking and I saw you in the arms of another girl,
I felt like the English outlander, stuck in Scotland and forced to simply observe,
I noticed that you noticed me, stood up quick so that I wouldn't see,
But alas, my dear, the deed is done, and now I'll live in this misery,
If you didn't want to stay you weren't bound,
But if that's what you want now, know I want you around.
I swear you're like a snowless winter,
You make sense somewhere, just not here,
Oh you're like a flameless lighter,
Trying to convince that you are still shining brighter.
I may be crazy, lazy, I don’t even know.
But I could still do a little better.
I swear you're like a snowless winter,
You make sense somewhere, just not here,
Oh you're like a flameless lighter,
Trying to convince that you are still shining brighter.

This band has a crazy story to tell and a wall of sound that evokes such passion that your head may explode. If you like pedal driven shoegaze / dream-pop, this band is perfect for you. Katy Needs A Life
One of my favorite bands from the Kalamazoo local scene. Heavily influenced by bands like Weezer and Pavement, they bring an amazing edge to the genre of music I grew up listening to. Katy Needs A Life
Everything is wonderful about this music / musician. You'll never feel so happy as you do when listening to Jes Kramer from Grand Rapids. Katy Needs A Life
A new album of perfect low-key gems from Kim Weldin of Tape Waves' unassuming bedroom pop side project Shiny Times. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 15, 2019
