If you will let me go, I’ll show you what I know.
I’ve had a lot of time to try and get this right.
You must not know, but this how it goes:
I’ll stumble blindly till I find my sight.
And I’ll just ignore every sign that you put in my way.
‘Cause I just abhor the thought of you taking my agency away.
I am on this road once again.
Can’t see the start, can’t see the end,
But I’ll trust you.
And I, I know the darkness lies ahead,
And soon we’ll all be dead,
But for now, but for now, you lead.
It’s starting to make sense; all of the emptiness
Somehow covered up what you had shown.
I’m battling regrets, can’t let my happiness
Get in the way of giving up control.
And I’ll sometimes glance at the signs that you put in my way.
Maybe I’ll take a chance, and try giving all my agency away.
I am on this road once again.
Can’t see the start, can’t see the end,
But I’ll trust you.
And I, I know the darkness lies ahead,
And soon we’ll all be dead,
But for now, but for now, you lead.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the moon.
Can’t let it ruin my mood, I’ve got to stay away.
I like to contemplate, that at a later date,
I’ll stay up late, and he’ll shine on my face.

And I, I know the darkness lies ahead,
And soon we’ll all be dead,
But for now, but for now, oh,
I am on this road once again.
Can’t see the start, can’t see the end,
But I’ll trust you.
And I, I know the darkness lies ahead,
And soon we’ll all be dead,
But for now, but for now, you lead.
A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
