about

Recorded in 2005, these two singles were meant to be the first for The Mercies, for early '06 release. Immediately after the completion of the tracks, the band, excitedly went into recording a full length at drummer Jonny Stevens' home studio. So, these tracks were shelved, although mixed by Bill Racine at his Railroad Studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. With the 10 year anniversary remaster of The Mercies full length, (and an additional EP of unreleased songs), this single is FINALLY being released as well, to celebrate this fun little band with big heart.

lyrics

It's not easy
When you go
Just like the first time
We ever knew
It's so easy
Next to you

And it's all eyes
Matter what we do
We just have it
To see it through

We could build it any time needed
Any thing we do will just turn you on
Turn you on

If it's not easy
When you come
The wait for next time
Off with you
When it's not easy
Near you

And if we hold on
To what we do
We could make it
See it through

Come on let's hold on
To what we drew
A time has broke off
It's nothing new
Shoulders roll off
Discreet in you
