about

originally released 12/21/13 on Beta Snake Records
this was part of beta snake's secret single series!
recorded in east orange nj
this was the original b-side to Resolution!

lyrics

i sit along the bridge, i throw a stick into the creek
but it won't come out of the other side
just think of better days, they can bring to you a tear or two
the price you have to pay to finally be satisfied
and i cannot forget
but i don't exactly remember

tuck away the years, left in a tome from your old home
when you find them again, what will you care?
i sit along the bridge between today and yesterday
the river sings, "you won't come out the other side!"
and i cannot forget
but i don't exactly remember

the memories are pressed together
flattening with age
it's getting hard to tell between the
petal and the page

…between today and yesterday
…bring to you a tear or two

because the binding tears or the water wears
what i wished would last forever!
if i cast a light, or i hold too tight
it'll crumble altogether
so i will not forget -
but i don't exactly remember
yet.
