SUMMER SWEETHEARTS its already june, and you're waiting tables I'm running food in your dads restaurant you're the only girl I've kissed this summer wish this could go on at least till fall Oh let's be summer sweethearts we'll seal it with flower crowns Oh let's be summer sweethearts We think up what would it had of been like Gone to prom our senior year gee we would have looked to good you tell me as you blow a smoke ring to the stars o let's be summer sweethearts then you'll go back north and I'll go south Oh let's just be summer sweethearts just for now running fingers through your pink hair you kissed my neck, and that hickey lasted all summer

Cherry Tree // Shaky Knees under the cherry tree that’s where you’ll find me Away from all these problems and twigs that find their way in my hair I've just had enough of all the looks and glares Lead me to some place that doesn't leave me with shaky knees Take me to some place where I can relax like the cherry cherry tree and we met up with your new friends, and y’all shared a joke, and i laughed along, You seem to like these folk and from somewhere deep inside me grew a suspicion that these new friends of yours might just be replacements But what do you expect from another dimwitted bird humming a hapless tune, all to myself what can you expect from just a bird in search of some solid ground

Puppy Love 03:22
And they called it puppy love Oh, I guess they'll never know How a young heart really feels And why I love her so And they called it puppy love Just because we're in our teens Tell them all it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night my tears for you My tears are all in vain I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday You'll be back in my arms once again Someone, help me, help me, help me please Is the answer up above How can I, how can I tell them This is not a puppy love

I woke up with scratches on my feet I woke up with poppy seeds in my teeth woke up with blood in my mouth to the smell of that vase of flowers as i passed away the hours read the day away under magnolia cover looking up your natal chart seeing who’s a perfect match for me are the sun and moon in alignment and the velvet rut starts to run its course red locks of tussled hair rush through my fingers and my mind a flutter of winged eyelashes “you’ll never be mine”

smudge marks on an empty canvass coffee stains the hardwood floors marlboro ash mounds terrace windows towels stuck under hallway doors cuties crammed in paper bags red lights cake and major bummers bike rides through the fan and oregon plans we planned to make for summer and i left and i took my ambition along and you left and put your ambition to song now you're on stage fans in pocket for hours living our dreams while i'm taking long showers decorating for the parties, records falling off the wall mad dog stickers mirrors in bathroom pizza’s endless beck and call unwound cassettes round the banister Jodorowsky cast on makeshift screens votive candles spent in foyers drunk as hell on halloween

do you want to cross the line do you want to go further this time hey i know we just met the other day how was Italy, I never heard you say what do you say to next friday, Musée Fabre? i wanna hear those words roll off your tongue hmmm, i wanna see that shirt roll of your shoulder do you want to cross the line do you want to go further this time i can see it in your eyes you’ve got that knowing smile in your eyes do you want to go to the movies do you want to hold hands can i put my head on your shoulder what’s the line after friends so you want to cross the line so you want to go further this time i can see it in your eyes you’d got that old look in your eyes

looking back on memories with friends, family, while away for an extended period of time can be hard faces laughs stances glares they all shine brighter in your memories and make your heart ache to see them again and sure enough, you know that when your journey is done you can return to the castle of relationships and connections that shaped you and made you who you where but those bonds formed during your sabbatical holiday journey vacation those provisional nests that rendered you skeptical at first but soon grew to be just as pivotal those bodies with whom you shared such intimate moments climbing a mountain playing chess in a coffeeshop basement meeting someones significant other sharing tears over mutual understanding of fading relationships taking week-long holidays with those that grew to be fountains foundations moments you shared so recently that you hadn’t had time to remember them until now and seeing that smile immortalised in your mind that smile you might never see again in person and certainly not under the same circumstances you start to feel blessed to even feel the first pain of separation that separation will at least eventually lead to reconnection

about

"Dream pop may be a solid sonic identifier for the sparse, airy effervescence that shimmers throughout the album’s eight tracks – but the forlornness coloring McCoy’s storytelling builds a sharp, unexpected contrast with the congenial instrumentation, imbuing Major Crush with a quiet thoughtfulness." - Gold Flake Paint

"Are we going to prom or to hell?" - Winona Ryder
