can i get you to put it on hold don't walk away but leave me on my own for a minute not for a lot 'cause what i give is all that i've got wanted to be the one that could save you you turned it on me i'll follow through for a minute not for a lot because what i give is all that i've got i'm torn in two i cannot go because i need you return to your home make a note of all the things you've left undone tell me that it's where i go you make me want to run dissolve these steel beams - they're all in motion i'll build them again and you will hold signs in the wind i'm fine with this in the end what if i was another me? hold on, i'm on my way summer solace see you agree that what i have is all that i need what i give is all that i've got return to your home make a note of all the things you've left undone tell me that it's where i go you make me want to run you make me want to run

when i was much younger the sky was open wider to me forgiving all my prayers oh don't you go there varying them still paint them red you know i will, you know i will i want to get back to a mountain range and i am little hills on the left and a lake in the middle paint them red you know i will, you know i will it gets a little cloudy at times i think i might have made it up or was it real life are you kidding me? he got stung by a nest of bees we felt like the kids from that movie - including the morbid scenes are you kidding me? get in the car get in the car get in the car get in the car get in the car at the bottom of the lake in the middle, there is an entire town and you row between those hills, what you'll see is church steeple. what you'll see is a church steeple.

Similar Sense (free) 03:11
in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet who has a similar sense of sound makes me wonder how i long i can last here makes me wonder if this is my last year around calming down my hands i walked away saw that i was not far from the water from the water and the ways that i was so i stayed there and i watch and weigh some people i've left here and the water and the water and wood - i think its like last year you know how much i wanna feel this now now but its a waste for you know i don't average out as much as i would like so i'm here another day collecting my things to wade through though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you it makes no sense to me i gave and i gave there is nothing i wont say to you standing outside your room i'm gonna hold it down and go its safe where i know in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet you know how much i wanna feel this now now but its a waste for you know i don't average out as much as i would like so i'm here another day collecting my things to wade through though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you

its gotten good outside but where am i? its gotten good outside and i'm inside, i'm inside, i'm inside i'm inside, i'm inside, i'm inside there is a light that's given off that i can see but i resolve that i'm inside i want the rain to fall and do not let me down let me down, let me down do not let me down, let me down, let me down could it be? my stride is heaving and i fast forward, a door is wide open before me i am solitary moves - my eyes are closing i'm alone for days and you know i fight my fate i'm bridled and circling oh, to rail on restraint i right my head now watch as i fall fall fall down and I'm inside, I'm inside I'm inside it's gotten outside, but where am i? i want the rain to fall and do not let me down there is a light that's given off, that i can see but i resolve that i'm inside

Press:
“Their unique sound is very ‘elegant, subdued, intricate, and unexpected.’” - MTV Music

"They're storming the city's indie music scene." - Out Magazine

”It’s [Mitten] at their best, marrying their ability to get you dancing, whilst still finding depths and beauty in the edges of the pop spectrum.” - The Recommender

”Complete with fervent, lush melodies, clever lyrics and expertly wielded instrumentation, their EP, See You Bye, is an absolutely brilliant debut.” - The Ruckus

”See You Bye is a six-song gem filled with the perfect blend of electro-pop and an 80’s synth vibe with a hint of indie-freshness.” - New Dust

”[Their] tracks pair glowing guitar riffs with obscenely tight bass and synths; imagine Matt & Kim with loads of restraint and without Matt.” - The Tale of the Tape

”Maia and Joanna make a ton of great fun noise with just a few instruments… their harmonies are tight and the songwriting is totally there.” - The Culture of Me
