about

The original single version of this band favorite features a slightly different mix than the version found on the IMPERIAL PHASE album.

lyrics

Strange how streets converge to take you back
The more you leave, the more you double-track
Medicine on Sundays for all the things you lack
Strange how streets converge to take you back

They don’t make faces like hers no more
The light it traces every weight she bore
By some strange graces she turned her back
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks

Tintype quits the static in your head
She owns no real estate inside your bed
Unconvinced she was alive till she was nearly dead
Tintype quits the static in your head

They don’t make faces like hers no more
The light it traces every weight she bore
By some strange graces she turned her back
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks

Impossibly young, impossibly young

They don’t make faces like hers no more
The light it traces every weight she bore
By some strange graces she turned her back
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks

Impossibly young

Strange how streets converge to take you back
The more you leave, the more you double-track
