Modern Minstrels

Space and Down

I decided to write down there lyrics to SoCo's new songs, Space and Down, so here they are. Classic SoCo sound and songwriting. Actually, let me take that back. I said, classic SoCo, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, I couldn't actually compare them to any of their other songs and yet there's no doubt they are SoCo songs, if that makes sense. So, it's the SoCo sound, only much more refined and so, so good.

Space

Home, is this a quiet place where you should be alone? Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own?

I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown.
Oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone.

Hey! Give me space so I can breathe.
Give me space so I can sleep.
Give me space so you can drown in this with me.

In this place, a lonely escapade in outerspace,
There's no antidote for irony.
You say that you have, when you know that you don't.
And you'll say that you care when you know that you won't.

Down

Let's get drunk you can drive us to the harbor.
Wish upon a star, but do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire burning up the black space.
Falling from the landscape.
Exploding in the face of God.

Lets get crazy, talk about our big plans,
Places that you're going, places that I haven't been.
Build my walls up, concrete castle.
Keep this kingdom free of hassle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

*Chorus*
But are you sad?
Echo in the emptiness, all around.
But you can't change his loneliness.
Look what you found, I'm falling down.

Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone.
Tell me that your alone.
Tell me on the telephone.
Feel your heartache,
Breaks within your chest now.
Try to get some rest now,
Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child, child.

Chorus
