The songs on the Karl Woodman Mixtape were all recorded live at Very Tight Recording studio. Out of all the songs we recorded live there, these were our favorites.
lyrics
Folding chairs and paper cups
This room we share isn't big enough
For her not to have noticed me
As she takes her seat
Six inch heels on her feet
She's taking her twelve steps
Feet haven't hit the floor
Lips pursed around a cigarette
With one foot out the door
Well hindsight is twenty twenty
But it felt too good to stop
Of all the sacrifices that I've made
You're the only vice that I couldn't bare to drop
We are all so far from home
Who's there to point their fingers
Take off your black tie
You're in the black light
The subject of debate
Feel like you'll suffocate
We're in the rewind
But we don't mind
Sick from sitting still
Arms on the window sill
Eyes open looking down
You're not a child now
The skin you barely fit, I
Sink my teeth into it
You're in the black light
You're in the black
