tracklist and lyrics

1. COASTLINES - HOLLOW COVES

I'm leaving home for the Coastline / Some place under the sun / I feel my heart for the first time

2. DAFFODILS - DAN MANGAN

Should the daylight forgive awful things that I did / You might let me do more / Oh daffodil my petunia / Oh daffodil my rose / Find my two lips in the darkness / And let yours be my home / Let yours be my home

3. CROSSES - JOSÉ GONZÁLES

Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you / Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you? / Returning nightmares, only shadows / We'll cast some light and you'll be alright

4. THE PREDATORY WASP OF THE PALISADES IS OUT TO GET US! - SUFJAN STEVENS

I can't explain the state that I'm in / The state of my heart, he was my best friend / Into the car, from the back seat / All admiration in falling asleep

5. MAYBE YOU’RE THE REASON - THE JAPANESE HOUSE

I keep looking for something / Even though I know that it's not there / (Maybe you’re the reason) / Every time I try to figure it out / You're the only thing I can think about / (Maybe you're the reason)

6. FRANCIS FOREVER - MITSKI

I don't need the world to see / That I've been the best I can be, but / I don't think I could stand to be / Where you don't see me

7. HOLD IT TOGETHER - THE MARIÁS

I got a feeling that I wanna slow down with you / Nobody else will ever do / I got a feeling that I wanna be there with you / Nobody else will ever do

8. RE: STACKS - BON IVER

This is not the sound of a new man / Or a crispy realization / It's the sound of me unlocking and you lift away / Your love will be / Safe with me

9. SURRENDER - THE ANTLERS

And while all that noise competes for our attention / We'll meet on a quiet field in our own dimension / We'll step inside a world far less demanding / When we allow for something less commanding

10. I KNOW YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU - SUNSET ROLLERCOASTER

Watch the sky you know I like a star shining in your eyes / Sometimes I wonder why I just wanna hold your hand and walk with you side by side / I know you know, I love you babe
