lyrics

On the red teeter-totter
Away from my grandfather’s cottage
You lost your earring
I couldn’t tell
How could I have been so thoughtless?

I want to tell you something
About when we were younger
I remember all of their faces
I knew unkind laughter

Walking the shore near the cottage
Far from the red teeter-totter
I held the seashell
Up to your ear
You said you heard running water

I cursed all of their hatred
My eyes burned of sweet cinders
I was over-compensated
Much like a cardinal in winter

Along the railroad track
Of my Ontario past
Everything that I regret
Is caught in this hidden net

I want to tell you something
About when we were younger
I remember all of their faces
I knew unkind laughter

Along the railroad track
Of my Ontario past
Look to the right of the map
That’s where you and I met.

Owenshire was born when Robert Muhlbock bought a bass guitar in 1992 and began recording dozens of bass and vocal demos under that name.
