lyrics

You would not be hopeful, and I would be polite
I made a list of all the good times, while you've been thinking about the bad
I tried to be the right one, while you've been looking for the wrong guy
I'm gonna whisper in your ear, the words that I've been dreaming up

These days I'm counting on my six-string, you know I think like a machine
You know the nights are getting longer, it's getting hard to keep a steady hand
The Northern lights will never falter, the Prairie winds will always blow
I'll read of lakes and count the hours on the clock, until my friends are gone, oh god

I kissed you in the evening, and saw you in the halls
Pretended I was reading, so maybe I would look sophisticated
But I know you won't be portioned, I'm savvy of your type
I'm gonna turn my face back home and you can catch the next flight

Most days you're counting on your instinct, you're burning bridges breaking hearts
Your body's missing all the small things, that you never thought you would recognize
And if you're really such a victim, well I suppose that I'm to blame
I'll read of lakes and count the hours on the clock, until my friends are gone, oh god

Nick Faye regina, Saskatchewan

Nick Faye crafts timeless songs that honour this past, embracing the hopes, dreams and frustrations of life lived in the Canadian Prairies. Fusing this with a clear love of mid-90s Pop Rock (think Rick Dees and The Weekly Top 40 in 1999), he creates songs that stick in the mind like a prairie snowdrift - taking their sweet time to melt away, slowly revealing the hope of new beginnings to come. ... more
