about

To be clear, I love Burlington VT. This song is inspired by the desolate surroundings that became the settings for the ending of a relationship in a parking lot in Burlington, MA, surrounded by box stores and business class hotels...

Marriott Parking Lot

Your taste is fading on my lips
and I'm beginning to come to terms
with this

Your scent is faint and distant in my brain
and I'm beginning to come to terms
with certain levels of pain

8 months gone
8 months its been
and I'm never going back to Burlington,
Not to Burlington

Your face and features are fuzzy and obscure
and I'm beginning to come to terms
with things I ignore

Your mannerisms have moved back to memory
Archived characteristics I'm less likely to see

8 months gone
8 months its been
and I'm never going back to Burlington,
Not to Burlington
and I'm never going back to Burlington,
Not to Burlington

Your voice remains in my ear
and I'm beginning to come to terms
with it haunting me for years

8 months gone
8 months its been
and I'm never going back to Burlington,
Not to Burlington

Never going back to Burlington
Not to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington
Not to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington
Not to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington
Not to Burlington

Never going back to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington
Never going back to Burlington

Especially not
the Marriott parking lot.

about

The Heartsleeves Boston, Massachusetts

Neo Eclectic, Soul Reflected, Sounds From Real Life!

Born in the glory and pageant of the noble working cities of Boise, Cleveland, Schenectady, Boston and Syracuse, "The Heartsleeves" is the voice of the no frills sincerity of real world American life.

We write our songs live, and refine them into a melancholy powder of sweet painful regret and sprinkle it on hearty soul pop.
