Been around enough to know I’m broken
Been around enough to know nothing’s sure
Been around enough to be a little grateful
Been around enough to miss my heart when it was pure
Been around enough to know the story
Been around enough to know how it ends
Been around enough to tell the smoke from the mirror
Been around enough to tell the true from fair-weather friends
I’ve been around enough to dry some tears
Been around enough to trace the years upon my face
This is the place I’m happy to be
Been around enough to know that winter
Is gonna guarantee another spring
Cage a singin’ bluebird and you’ll never
Never ever get that bird to sing
Been around enough to know I’m lonesome
Been around enough to know it’ll pass
If I give it time and maybe open my heart
Been around enough to know the die is never cast
Carrying around the weight of a lifetime of dreaming
Never really seen the end of the road
If losers never quit then I’m thoroughly equipped
To keep on keeping on

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
