[Verse 1] When I made my plan There were some things for which I did not account I could not have seen myself here In a place I've been before Seeing everything all over As if I could really know As if I am sure And you say it's about time But you know I'm not used to having enough [Chorus] And there is nowhere I need to go And there is nothing left to do And I am sitting watching myself Watching you Watching the waiting [Verse 2] When I move to stand My muscle memory is keeping me up Real memory is also similarly cruel To see his face in front of me Out of the blue, for no reason at all And I don't suppose I'll be able to tell him how sorry I am But like the guard settles in for another long night I keep watch for a danger and I may not recognize But I keep my eyes open [Instrumental] [Bridge] All I know is this There are times when, to me You seem to glow from within And I wonder how this moment could possibly be And how much was of my choosing And what chose me And I couldn't care less When it all adds up And I feel I am closest to what I really am [Chorus] And there is nowhere I need to go And there is nothing left to do And I am sitting watching myself Watching you Watching the waiting
The entire Tween album is stunning. I had never heard of this group before but they sold me on the strength of Tween. I will now be mining their back catalogue on iTunes
Wow, this was beautiful. The video and the song are both so well done. I really love the symbolism in the video and how personal it is. Wye Oak continues to be one of my favorite bands.
Well, well, well. LQQkie at what we have here. I couldn't wait for the CD release. Downloaded from iTunes without listening to a song (I knew it would be great). Hope to see you two in Louisville, KY soon. 2014 was fun at The Zanzabar!
These two are amazingly talented musicians but when you delve into Jenn's lyrics, you realize you've come across pure songwriting genius.
God she is beautiful.
[Verse 1]
When I made my plan
There were some things for which I did not account
I could not have seen myself here
In a place I've been before
Seeing everything all over
As if I could really know
As if I am sure
And you say it's about time
But you know I'm not used to having enough
[Chorus]
And there is nowhere I need to go
And there is nothing left to do
And I am sitting watching myself
Watching you
Watching the waiting
[Verse 2]
When I move to stand
My muscle memory is keeping me up
Real memory is also similarly cruel
To see his face in front of me
Out of the blue, for no reason at all
And I don't suppose
I'll be able to tell him how sorry I am
But like the guard settles in for another long night
I keep watch for a danger and I may not recognize
But I keep my eyes open
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
All I know is this
There are times when, to me
You seem to glow from within
And I wonder how this moment could possibly be
And how much was of my choosing
And what chose me
And I couldn't care less
When it all adds up
And I feel I am closest to what I really am
[Chorus]
And there is nowhere I need to go
And there is nothing left to do
And I am sitting watching myself
Watching you
Watching the waiting

Wye Oak on some sort of 80s kick? Yes, please.
More like early 90s alternative folk for me
Wow, this was beautiful. The video and the song are both so well done. I really love the symbolism in the video and how personal it is. Wye Oak continues to be one of my favorite bands.
I feel like I connect with this song on an atomic level.
Can't wait for your tour kickoff June 16 in Connecticut!
Wye Oak is the substitution for drugs in the evening and cold water on my face in the morning
Definitely one of the best songs to come out in 2016, easily.
Chad Every it is the theme to my soul now.
The talent Wye Oak has is nothing short of a miracle
OH YES!
Alguém do Brasil escutando uma boa musica?

One of my most listened to songs from recent years. The video is nuts! What on earth is going on?

TRUE FANS KNOW. Nothing will compare to the 1st record ...
Still mucho love
I'd love to hear them play If Children Were Wishes at their next show.
If they play anything off their first album on this current tour, I might just die of happiness at the show.
Haha. That would definitely be a treat.
1:51 right on
Quem veio pela Abe? ❤️
what is that 6/8?
reminds me of a mix of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel
Chrissy McVie and Fleetwood Mac (sounds like)
adore this song. gets me in a writing mood. but the vid is super bizarre. i mean i get being "different" but yikes.
Joni Mitchel wannabe.
