lyrics

Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long time
But hopes alive in the skyline

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Can you tell me what you’re thinking of
Every time you’re on your own route
Inception, conception
Was wandering on
Can you tell me in your own way
Let me tell you what I wouldn’t say
Did I mention, I had my back turned?

Sun shines me blue (I did assume)
Hey are you listening? (I’m trying to understand)
What you on about?
Just hear me out
Just hear me out

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long time
But hopes alive in the skyline

Looking for a place to hide away
Work another year to lose that face
Deception, protection
And security
Kinda hard to get a read on you
Even the right things aren’t what I should do
Feeling tension seeing my walls burned

I’m swinging blue (What can I do?)
I’m trying to understand (Hey are you listening?)
But I’m bleeding doubt
Just hear me out
Just hear me out

And It’s alright
If we ain’t on the same side
See through both eyes
And you know what it feels like

Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long time
But hopes alive in the skyline

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

about

Jitensha Montreal, Québec

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
