about

This power pop gem originated with an infectious guitar progression and lyrical phrasing to suit, reminiscent of Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" taken a step further toward a more intricate and modern feel. The heavy retro drums drive the majority of the rhythm section resulting in lo-fi-cool dynamics. Lyrically, variations on "hold you" become load-bearing, with each verse revealing the ultimate sentiment by the end. This single gives a taste of what is to come with the bands future LP, "Please Stand By", slated for release sometime this summer.

lyrics

You tell me what you want
And I’ll try to get it for you
Mandy
I’ll do what it takes to try
And not be a loser for you
Mandy
And no one expects you to agree
To be less
Than you can be

But I know
Yeah I know
I just want to hold you

Despite all my efforts
I’m a fool for your attention
I’m so stupid
But what I lack in vision
I’m delusional
I see that we’re in love
And if there’s a stuffed animal you think you want
You know I’ll try and win it

But I know
Yeah I know
I’m just gonna hold you up

But you and I
We know there’s just
Not enough of you
To go around
I see my chances and these odds have ends
Never to be found
You’re talking in your sleep
I know your dreams
You gotta leave town

I’m up all night just thinking
Of how you might not be leaving

I’ll tell you straight up
In my mind I’m the only one for you
Mandy
And maybe there will be a day
When you and all your dreams
Will settle for me
But at this very moment
Even though I know I’m gonna die a little

Well I know
Yeah I know
I’m gonna have to give you up

Yeah I know
Yeah yeah I know

But I know
Yeah I know

I’m not gonna hold you
