Yesterday 02:56
I remember the best damn nights Speeding past the city lights We were all so young and alive No matter how we try The time keeps on slipping by I can’t let go Waves will form and then will break Listen for the sound they make (can’t let go) Focus on the breath you take Letting go of yesterday Take me back to the days Take me back Take me back Take me back Will you let us become history Fade to black just like a mystery Going through it Thought I knew it The tables turn and I think I’m losing Tell me, what are you afraid of? Change is nothing you can run from Well I’m trying, I can’t help it I don’t wanna let this go Can you tell me, tell me truly Speak it softer, in a whisper What you’re hiding, where you’re going Then you vanish, leave me crying

2 Birds 04:23
2 birds up in a tree for days so far away from anything What was below can fade away so high and safe from everything Two birds flying high Harmonized they pass me by Twin flame burning bright Intertwined On a silent cloud floating up over the earth An arrow moves through it all Open my eyes Fell out of a dream A time my heart longs to recall Two birds flying high Harmonized they pass me by Twin flame burning bright Intertwined Intertwined Intertwined

Bay Boys 03:11
Eat me alive So sick of sedentary life It’s time to stir up the pot Meet me out in the parking lot Wind me up watch me go into the night time Gas me up like a shot hitting the mainline Searching for something like pacification Roaming on the streets with no destination Feel what you feel Addicted to a story That you know isn’t real A switchblade allegory Cruisin with the bay boys Riding to the edge of the earth No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Ride or die til the end The road is my love Like the leather stud fit of a glove And when I forget who I am She’ll always take me right back again Cuz when everything is said and done Baby I was born to run So the second I’m feelin a little vacation Skipping this town with no hesitation Fear like a phantom Running from your shadow But it seeps in like a venom The dream you live is hollow Cruisin with the bay boys Riding to the edge of the earth No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Ride or die til the end Cruisin with the bay boys Light it up and watch it burn No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Try and you’re gonna learn

Where I'm @ 03:26
You know I see it When you meet me where I am Sometimes I don’t get it And then you help me understand I’m still learning how to be who I am To escape from all the fear and violence And I hope that you can see I’m trying I don’t want you to leave, so I’ll make you believe So we start our new chapter And we make our mistakes But it doesn’t matter I know we’ll be ok We’re closer until we fall apart Then it’s over ’til we find a new start Somehow I always end up in your arms And this time that’s where I want to stay Stuck in my head so I lay in my bed and think about it I’m in demand until I’m in your hand and then you doubt it Maybe it’s just how the story goes Even the good ones have to close I would be fine living out on my own If only I could just be alone It’s where I’m at You know I see it When you meet me where I am Sometimes I don’t get it Can you help me understand?

Vampires 03:52
C’mon shake it just like it’s a bad habit Burn it down to the filter on your cigarette ‘Til you’re pulling at the end of the rope Hit the bottle ‘til you’re back to the rocks And don’t you let ‘em bite your style Velvet tongues and their plastic smiles Oh, the cold blood casanovas They’ll get you if you let them It’s draining Giving more than you wanted Playing into their pockets They act like monsters in coffins So beware, baby You better watch your neck The world is a vampire You got nowhere to run Got your finger on the trigger of your silver bullet gun But they just keep on coming back for more Until you’re rotten all the way to the core So play the game, take the L We’ll save you a pretty little place in hell The operators are standing by But there’s no one who can take your call It’s draining Giving more than you wanted Playing into their pocket Colder than monsters in coffins So beware, baby You better watch your neck They’ll make you a monster Yeah, the world is a vampire Don’t let ‘em getcha Ooh yeah, The world, the world, world is a vampire So watch your neck

Grudge 04:08
Sometimes, we all wanna let it fall Sometimes, we just gotta let it hit the wall I'm falling, bleeding Fake a smile and wave, I'll be fine again Spinning out, fading now Going down, we're going down It's all in my head Angel, whisper in my ear Tell me the things I need to hear Just say something I'm sinking, drowning Hang up the phone when you know I'm calling Crying out, screaming now No one's around It's all in my head

All of a sudden the game is through I lost it all Moonlight on the passenger seat of the car Moving through the night Out to the end Can we start again? Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain Going with the motion Driving to the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me Go with the motion Don’t really know why You’d throw it all away (Shining lights) Slide across the glass Put me in a trance Moving through clear water In a pool painted black Then acting out a pattern In endless repetition Holding out for something To set my life In motion ‘Cause I’ve been swimming in quicksand We’re go (going) Through (through it) Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion (a way out) Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain (run away) Going with the motion Driving to the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain Going with the motion Drive into the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me After everything we’ve been through The rise and fall Picking up And moving on Just to go through it all Again Jump into the ocean Everything so distant Coasting on a vision (just a fantasy) Jumping off a cliff and (fall) Falling to our destiny Guess it's time to grow some wings And learn to fly away Fly away
8.
Spin 04:05
Baby, how’s it going lately? Call me on the phone I’ve been feeling so alone Nothing to do these days Got me going crazy Laying in a field watch the birds fly around So I lay low Letting the days go Watching the hands on the clock Like a carousel Spinning in circles We’re on a ride that never stops Take another turn around Now it’s been so long Since we’ve caught up Sometimes I worry that we’re losing touch But once we’re on the line We’ll never hang up It feels just like it always did before Through all the changes People and places You’ve been there right from the start So all the storm clouds Barbed wire and brick walls They won’t keep us apart And we all spin around On the merry go round We go up and down Before we come around again So while we brace for the ride Keep me right by your side Through the high and the low I promise I won’t let you go So when you feel low Baby don’t let go Hang on And we all spin around On the merry go round We go up and down Before we come around again We all spin around On the merry go round We can turn it around Before the ashes and we all fall down

The Void 04:29
Hard times will always drag you down I walk through the ruins of this town I look up but all I see is the ground Cry out but no one hears a sound Tonight’s the night To let go And say hello To the end Bright lights flashing in your eyes Under the technicolor sky Come on, line right up and sit down for the show There’s only fear in what you don’t know Now it’s time To let go And say hello To the end Throw it all Into the void And say hello To the end (Hello) (Welcome to the void) You are already there You are already gone You are already dead
10.
When you found me I was alone Felt like I had no one Til you took me by the arm And you opened up my world Oh what a beautiful view Felt so unreal The way you had me fallin’ Deeper than ever before Now that you’ve gone away Nothing hits the same I need you back again Nothing gets me like you do Even after all this time You stay front of mind I’m hooked without another fix in the world Nothing gets me like you do Baby, you got me like nothing else We left the Double Tree hotel To sit down in the park You wrapped me in your arms And now I feel just like Sinead Nothing compares 2 u Nothing like all the boys and the girls Put me on another world And I look up to you Like a shining star But if we stay together, Love will tear us apart Nothing gets me like you do I know nothing lasts forever It’s time I let it go The picture I’ve been holding so closely to my soul The picture of you Oh, you (only you, only you) Only you, only you (nothing else, nothing else) And nothing else (you, only you) Nothing else, nothing else Nothing gets me like you do Got me like nothing else

Done feeling sorry Let’s try another story My life on the train tracks Love is a one way ticket My body falls apart And I can’t keep moving My heart is breaking down And I can’t feel nothing End my journey On this great big bridge to nowhere Shut my eyes and Give in to the sweet surrender My body falls apart My heart is breaking When you’re reaching for heaven Every day is a personal nightmare There’s no place to belong here Cause everyone’s busy going nowhere There’s always something missing Broken dreams and bad decisions So when it’s all overwhelming Take a step back to trace the motion My body falls apart And I can’t keep moving My heart is breaking down And I can’t feel nothing Looking back along this Long and grand adventure Shut my eyes And give in to the sweet surrender My body falls apart My heart is breaking down And I can’t keep moving And I can’t feel nothing

about

Sportswear is a world of its own, a vision that encompasses not just music, but art, storytelling and fashion as well. Sonically we felt drawn to elements from early goth, new wave, and house, taking them through our filter of indie, psychedelia, r&b and modern pop. We were also inspired by the style and hyper-individualism of late 90s club culture and anime. The name Sportswear is a cheeky nod to this tapestry of influences and the disambiguation of trends and subculture, as they become commodified for mass appeal and lose their deeper meaning. Lyrically the record speaks to our personal life struggles and soul searchings as well as existential sensations and narrations.
