lyrics

Are we strong enough
to withstand the pressure that’s building up?
Is hardship ever hard enough?

We can’t break down
We can break down
We can’t break down
We can’t break down

Take my hand, I’m falling down
Take my hand and we’ll touch the ground
Bruise a knee and a nail or two

But we can’t break apart
We can’t break apart
We can break apart
We can’t break apart

All my life I’ve been searching for you
Let’s fall in love and then break down too
I suppose that’s what real lovers do

Not just you and I

We’re just not tall enough to touch the sky
I find it hard to be your lover when I’m sad all the time
I find it hard to be your lover when I'm sad all the time

Hardship broke down the two of us
We found ourselves in the back the bus
Heading out to the final stop

Where we got out
Where we got out
Where we got out
Where we got out

Ego & I recommends:

Twin Fantasy
by Car Seat Headrest

This album is the embodiment of infectiousness, raw emotion and honesty. It have been on my 'I'm gonna tell all my friends all about it'-list for two years now and I won't shut up about it. Ego & I

Turkey
by Mike Krol

I think 'Neighborhood Watch' is one of my favorite songs of all time. Just listen to the album! Mike is a garage rock god. Ego & I

Queen of the Tides
by Wailing Dunes

My old bandmate is the songwriter and mastermind behind this album. It's a delightfully moody and well performed folk rock album. Give it a listen! Ego & I
