Say It Again 03:14
I ain't going nowhere I let silence fill the air Looking out my window It's almost better nothing's there You were saying something Say it again now I’d hate for you to hold back now On what you held for all these years Maybe it's your eyes Telling me somehow Was it the weight of all the time Gone by that finally brought you here I ain't going nowhere But I got no time to spare Every bits been taken And I know you'd never share You were saying something Say it again now I’d hate for you to hold back now On what you held for all these years Maybe it's your eyes Telling me somehow Was it the weight of all the time Gone by that finally brought you here When the lantern lights are broken And all the cards are down When lesser words are spoken They hardly make a sound You were saying something Say it again now I’d hate for you to hold back now On what you held for all these years Maybe it's your eyes Telling me somehow Was it the weight of all the time Gone by that finally brought you here

The Fix 03:42
I see green lights over Young Street She's making promises to me I know they got me here in no time Still I'm so far from the sea Sometimes I think of going back there But I know I'm not going anywhere Here it comes, the fix is in Thought I'd leave with more than this Here it comes, the fix is in Thought I'd leave with more than this Where are you? We need you here Said we thought we made that clear The only time that you let yourself down Is when you stop tearing up this town Sometimes I think of going back there But I know I'm not going anywhere Here it comes, the fix is in I thought I'd leave with more than this Here it comes, the fix is in Thought I'd leave with more than this Sometimes I think of going back there But I know I'm not going anywhere Here it comes, the fix is in I thought I'd leave with more than this Here it comes, the fix is in Thought I'd leave with more than this

She's gone, I know, this thing was overrated We're falling down but not for each other I feel you might have gone and overstated us No room to breathe, we can't hold on forever Build it to blow it up Assemble to disregard We all play our part Search and destroy (repeat X2) She's young, I'm fine to go and play the field again The rules have changed, the objectives the same She's right, I'm wrong, at least that's where she's coming from Are we to blame if this was always our fate Build it to blow it up Assemble to disregard We all play our part Search and destroy (repeat X2) We drift on out to sea Look back in disbelief Ahead all blue and green For now, it's calm, complete Build it to blow it up Assemble to disregard We all play our part Search and destroy (repeat X2)

Heavy Scars 03:44
I often wish I'd lived a while ago Five hundred years before and yet it's almost like I'm no longer alone Flying machines are more than where you go The sum of who you are adds up to so much more than only what you know What you feel, you'll see With words you couldn't speak All their heavy scars Brought you where you are All their brightest stars Brought you where you are City signs and borderlines have changed The cable car will go so far but the questions in our heads are still the same What you feel, you'll see With words you couldn't speak All their heavy scars Brought you where you are All their brightest stars Brought you where you are Stop watch stops time, you're a modern man But you can't stop the ceiling fan Their faces coming into view Do you think they're looking back at you? What you feel, you'll see All their heavy scars Brought you where you are All their brightest stars Brought you where you are All their heavy scars Brought you where you are All their brightest stars Brought you where you are

Well I meant what I said Even though you did pirouettes Through my head Even though I said no My body says different When I'm in your bed All my love Is like a pearl More than money oh honey You can't buy the world If I didn't make you cry You'd never smile Wait another day the sun will rise this time I can't promise nothing easy Thats not my style Walk with me for one more mile Well I meant what I said Even though you did pirouettes Through my head If you're mine In five years time Don't you worry I'll hurry With red red wine If I didn't make you cry You'd never smile Wait another day the sun will rise this time I can't promise nothing easy Thats not my style Walk with me for one more mile Let me live before I die Let the memory of your face Keep me still where I lie If I didn't make you cry You'd never smile Wait another day the sun will rise this time I can't promise nothing easy Thats not my style Walk with me for one more mile (repeated)

Like the wind on your cheek You turn your head down And away from me He's the sun in the east 'Cause he makes you smile A little at least One day you'll see the sun going down But here I will stay I'm not going away (I'm not going) (X4) It's hard to get any peace With two hungry wolves Here for a fight or feast I thought you knew better than this Or better than us But there's just no way One day you'll see the sun going down But here I will stay I'm not going away (I'm not going) (X4) I'm fighting for control But the whole idea Is getting kind of old I hide when I catch your eye Then you may forget Everything you know One day you'll see the sun going down But here I will stay I'm not going away (I'm not going) (X4)

Green light, fifth gear, top down Night time, shades on, cigarette Smokescreen, oh she's going for it Bare feet, I feel ordinary Can't put out her fire But damn, she won't stop lighting them Brakes on, its a long way down if we fall She gets away with it She don't take nothing serious She keeps me animated I'm just trying to stay with her Ten more miles, road tired But that's what she's admired I'm asking "are you happy yet?" And not one answer's scaring me Can't put out her fire But damn, she won't stop lighting them Brakes on, its a long way down if we fall She gets away with it She don't take nothing serious She keeps me animated I'm just trying to stay with her I'm getting a million I'm getting a million maybes Another hour Another hour a day please I know she waits I know she waits for no one She's so much better Cause she's so much better on the run She gets away with it (X4) When you leave I'm so unsettled That I lock myself away Now the walls have all been levelled I wanna see your face today

Ares 04:04
I've got a real funny feeling that we've been here before Where you couldn't even tell me what you're fighting for I've got a real strong sense now it's said and done I think you must have given fire to the Amazons Tell me what you're best friends with Agony for I guess nobody knew you better than the child of war Tell me you'll learn to love, enjoy the wine that you pour Yeah, we can turn it around and it'll suit you more Ooo, you never back me up Ooo, you're gonna sell me out Ooo, you're gonna throw me under Ooo, how can you look at me now? Let your sister's spoils be your gravity, son Before you fought the fight, you see the winning was won Doing all the doing just to be outdone, Yeah they were playing for keeps and you were playing for fun Ooo, you never back me up Ooo, you're gonna sell me out Ooo, you're gonna throw me under Ooo, how can you look at me now? Tell me how you wanna spend the rest of your days Will anybody even remember your name? Ooo, you never back me up Ooo, you're gonna sell me out Ooo, you're gonna throw me under Ooo, how can you look at me now?

Easy now, has this been going too fast or too long I wonder if you wonder why when I’m with you nothing’s wrong Like diamonds when the sunset hits you get a little bit of light below the pitch black Attack me baby I can stitch it up back on my feet 'cause when I come at you I'm hard to beat But I keep coming back for more If I change Into something that you haven't seen before If the heat and a whisper in your ear became a little something more Your shy little smile can resist me for a while but you know damn well All you wanted was an "oh well” Easy now, boy you’ve been coming on too strong You think you’re getting somewhere, I'm just playing along Racing, chasing and you’re starting a war It makes you so much less when you’re wanting more You're wanting more If I change Into something that you haven't seen before If the heat and a whisper in your ear became a little something more Your shy little smile can resist me for a while but you know damn well All you wanted was an "oh well” Look back now to when you ran so fast and so far Why are you showing me your invisible scars Like diamonds when the sunset hits, you get a bit of light below the pitch black Attack me baby I can stitch it up back on my feet because when I come at you I'm hard to beat But I keep coming back for more If I change Into something that you haven't seen before If the summer heat and a whisper in your ear became a little somethin more Your shy little smile Can resist me for a while but you know damn well If I change Into something you haven't seen before If the heat and a whisper in your ear became a little something more Your shy little smile can resist me for a while but you know damn well All you wanted was an "oh well"

about

Simpson Brothers Band Vancouver, British Columbia

Twins hailing from Tsawwassen in British Columbia, the Simpson Brothers' music began in campus hallways and rental rooftops, moved to the sidewalks of Vancouver and found its way into today's music streams.

As time moves forward, their new 4-song EP Boarding Pass aims to take you back to simpler times: a sunset relief from summer heat; pitch black yielding to city lights on your drive in.
