I can’t remember words you’d say
But I recall every kiss you ever gave
When you seemed to be my friend
I can’t put faces to their names
But I remember every boy who went away
When you seemed to be my friend
And in some backseat it seemed foreign to me
That you were willing without cause
And at the time it seemed that Redondo Beach was just another Torrance Boulevard
And then you agreed that it’s all we need
Now my time’s spent finishing drinks
As if there’s reason to be proud of anything
I wish that I’d seen what you always see
And when I go back on my own
I see the boardwalk and it feels so long ago
That you seemed to be my friend

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
