Sometimes 02:35
Carry me in on a Saturday I’ll be born again the next day Tell all my friends I’m doing great But I’m alone when I walk away, when I walk away Sometimes I let the waves go by Carry me out and wash away the sky Sometimes I wonder why I try To fix this I gained ground on growing up But you were not around When it was tough You made a sound We both know it was not enough Now look at what we try to fix You can peel back all of the skin The scars are permanent And we were made To see them
2.
Always Wrong 04:19
She can all but scream When you wake up Try not to forget the dreams You had with me in them When the world rips open your eyes Don’t be surprised When I’m gone And time pushes us on While he plays dead on his cell phone I grit my teeth at the end of every thought Because I am always wrong Yeah I’m always wrong Who made it out to be this? I must have missed something But what scares me more Is when I think of nothing I don’t know any more He can’t look her in the eye His silence is violent She holds back what she wants to say Might be easier to slip away But what can his heart take So she surrenders to the waves She is not sure how much more To sit quietly alone While he sits behind that closed door Like nobody is home

Waves 05:21
She said, tell them all you know And that’ll be ok She didn’t think that I had lost my way Now there doesn’t seem To be much to say That’s what I learned today I’m created by More forgotten time But my eyes Remain dry It’s the other times The ones inside That hurt my Hurt my eyes I feel like I feel a day go by Then they go in waves She said, tell them all you know And that’ll be ok She’s gone, and I’ve missed so many days There is nothing useful to say That’s what I learned today The ocean of time Isn’t tamed by some captain We’ll all fall into the deep blue Of past actions

Push 04:08
You feel like pushing me away What am I supposed to do? In this haze you’ve made I can’t break though I won’t be the one who is running If I tried I couldn’t make you anything Pretending invincibility You stumble in the chase And push yourself away You are a mist Falling into nothing Floating into the abyss You dissipate from me I won’t be the one I won’t be the one  
5.
Sorrow 04:01
I have collided with an aching mind But I am still in the same body I find it hard to concentrate On the right thing when I think Nobody is watching When you had the advantage and knew I can’t believe what you were willing to do Sorrow, come along With me I can still hear all you said To me Not to mention all that I Cannot unsee Do you know what you did To me? How come it can be so hard to forget? Let alone asking myself to forgive It makes me wonder if when you Go to remember do you cry too? Or is it something you have set aside Well, I hope you know that my heart has died
6.
Alone 05:02
I never claimed to be Strong Spent all of my time dreaming For Nothing They all Dissolve Before me I escape So I am not alone Oh oh oh My mind bends and breaks Like skin and bone Now I am alone I can’t be real to you No matter what I do I am nobody A shimmer, a shadow, a dream They all Dissolve Before me
7.
Attention 04:18
You’ve got my attention So what do you want from me? You have perverted my intentions And you say I’m just a want-to-be Oh, your blood runs so cold Healing from you hurts I’m still trying to warm back up I still feel the sting of your love Why can’t I get enough? Why can’t get enough? Every time I’m with you I feel I am in the right place But you are sure to leave And I can’t breathe in space You’ve got my attention So how will you use me? Such a simple decision So easy to abuse me Easy to abuse me So easy to abuse me You go so far away While I am here frozen in place
8.
Hell 03:07
I got a moment in my pocket Every time I look at it I cry So I opened up And sewed it into my thigh I can’t sit down But I can move on No, I can’t sit down But I can move on If your smile can’t bare it It’s all too much Yeah, I find it scary Such and such and such And when I smile I grind my teeth to bits And what’s your advice? Just swallow it Not a way to be Unless death says hello And Hell stands below I guess that isn’t me I broke in and left myself Behind the counter just for you But if I’m not there You better know what to do No, can’t sit down You got to get going No, you won’t sit down You got to get going Not a way to be Unless death loses his blow And Hell stays below I guess that isn’t me
9.
How can we move on from this? when your future already exists It's like holding back the waves grasping at the whole ocean If I could your indifference to show you my love's competence Because when your eyes fix on me I beg God to take it seriously Everyday lying under my gaze Sirens singing calling me astray my heart breaks inside of your smile my love lives in exile Now I'm writing goodbye I've been weakened to a new fear And you have to stay here If it kills me I have to leave Who could live to see you unhappy? Goodbye, because it's not our time Goodbye, because it's not our life Goodbye, what else can I do? Goodbye, because I love you

about

Elsewhere is an alternative rock band from Decatur, Alabama. Inspired by the sounds of Incubus, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer and many more; the two cousins, Gabe Smith and Josh Walker wrote, recorded and produced their first album, Sometimes. The nine-song LP is filled with large, sweeping chords and memorable melodies while showing influences from the worlds of jazz and pop. With the conventional guitar, bass and drums set up the two guys are able to craft a sound vast, open and layered with storytelling lyrics of love and loss.
