Next of Kin - Alvvays

We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour

I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight

You took something before you went to the shower

You have suppressed the things that

Make you feel uptight

If I had known you couldn't swim

We would never have gone in

I left my love in the river

The only one who sees

I lost his hand in the current

It was the life I wanted and I hoped for

And now I'm left sifting through the leaves

His arms so hard I saw his skin through his t-shirt

They grabbed so tight he knew they wouldn't

Defend

We climbed into the stream so

No one will be heard

And in no time at all

It wasn't a sound

If I had known you couldn't swim

We would never have gone in

I left my love in the river

The only one who sees

I lost his hand in the current

It was the life I wanted and I hoped for

And now I am left sifting through the leaves

No colour to his skin I follow next of kin

No colour to his skin

I left my love in the river

The only one I see

I lost his hand in the current

And now I have grown through the trees

Aaahhhh woahhhhh
