lyrics
I sent my life away
on a paper boat on the coast today
cleft my hands across your face
kiss you like a milkmaid
making something out of you
a barrowful of what to do
You have me in all the way
Satellite your dates and times
tearing out the pages to memorize
all the names, your favorite lines
curling up the velvet ropes in my mind
You have me in all the way
In an effort to recover from the laundry list of lovers
hovering over us every day…
on a paper boat on the coast today
cleft my hands across your face
kiss you like a milkmaid
making something out of you
a barrowful of what to do
You have me in all the way
Satellite your dates and times
tearing out the pages to memorize
all the names, your favorite lines
curling up the velvet ropes in my mind
You have me in all the way
In an effort to recover from the laundry list of lovers
hovering over us every day…

Great electronic album, downtempo and trip hop influences. "Written over eighteen months in 2007 and 2008, "Days Away" is an exploration of atmosphere, a collision of powerful drum and rhythm program
