Lyrics:
some summer you have planned for me / look at all these tourists as they flock to the sea / getting in the water like it’s nothing but it’s not without a consequence / I hear it comes quite naturally but that description doesn’t fit with me / not going over, never going under / not without a consequence / the narrows, the river empty into the sea / some summer you have planned for me, emptied into the sea / such a good man, had a good job / I’d take up swimming for the patriarch /now dispersed so casually like sediment into the sea / the swollen moon all flushed with red / one eclipse away from the Bay of the Dead / it ain’t right I’m telling you / it’s more than coincidence / one stroke at a time on my way back to land / it’s better for me with my feet in the sand / some summer you have planned for me, emptied into the sea

Release cyclist and then you can call the album Triathlon.

I wouldn’t have any problem if this album were the soundtrack of my life

[@MirandaAndUh]

This song is the perfect encapsulation of being somewhere beautiful while wracked with a deep, personal melancholy.

[@vxel]

listening to this song while reading their genius annotations and processing the details of them scattering patrick’s father’s ashes into the sea next to the beach genuinely made me cry. this song is essentially a eulogy for patrick’s father and it’s so beautiful and yet so somber. this album is actually too good.

I cry for the nostalgia of summers that haven't even happened yet and lovers I haven't even met...

All rise for the national anthem.

[@tomcruise1492]

we have runner and swimmer, now we only need "climber " and " flyer" to have the full set

[@XsNiPeRPi3z]

i love their uniqueness; their look combined with the interesting mixing and chord progressions makes for very memorable music

[@soFallenfilms]

Beautiful song. Her voice kinda resembles Gwen Stefani from the No Doubt years.

[@ratdisease5280]

some fuckin summer huh

[@olliej.2776]

I've had this on repeat all day. It just got late and I can't play music out loud because my family's asleep in bed. So I put my earphones in and transcended into the next dimension, because it was the first time I could hear the bass properly. Tennis is incredible.

[@superawesomecaptainmcfluff9506]

you made my day 10000x better. I'm listening to these on class

[@peepeepoops]

such a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning behind it.

[@Fstop313]

Oh so we're doing all the sports today

[@glennjoselane1690]

This entire album is a masterpiece and will soon become legendary.

[@bundtcake0]

[@lotusauer4785]

Perfect way to end a night

[@bombchujelly]
