Never Fit Quite Right 03:10
lyrics
Don’t understand why it didn’t work Don’t understand what we didn’t have Still asking how it was so much work Reflecting on why it hurt so bad We fought for it but it never fit quite right We stood up for it I’d never tried so hard like this Speculation is driving me crazy Wondering if you feel the same When the days go by do I cross your mind? Do you question everything like me? We fought for it but it never fit quite right We stood up for it I’d never tried so hard like this We fought for it but it never fit quite right We stood up for it I’d never tried so hard like this

Stop Thinking 03:10
lyrics
We gave in when the world was sick When we felt our healthiest Overwhelmed so quick All the feelings that caught up to us Curiosity for so long Oh how we’ve grown, how we’ve grown How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown Oh how we’ve grown, how we’ve grown How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown I can do this on my own I don’t want to walk alone I feel better when you hold me When we don’t do so much thinking I can do this on my own (How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown) I don’t want to walk alone (How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown) I feel better when you hold me (How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown) When we don’t do so much thinking (How we’ve grown, how we’ve grown)

Anything 03:01
lyrics
Where are my friends? Someone to distract me from the loneliness The emptiness, the dizzy head I’m dead inside I can’t feel you anymore Can’t feel it anymore Not anything at all At all I can’t feel you anymore Can’t feel it anymore Not anything at all At all How could you do this again? Why did I let you back in? How could you do this again? Why did I let you back in? I can’t feel you anymore Can’t feel it anymore Not anything at all At all I can’t feel you anymore Can’t feel it anymore Not anything at all At all

Together Again 01:58
lyrics
Am I a masochist when every time we kiss I just can’t seem to let you go? Answering all your calls I let down my walls How am I not supposed to Break apart Break me down Lay with me, we’re meant to be When we’re in bed I feel my best And reconnect when we undress Break apart Break me down Lay with me, we’re meant to be When we’re in bed I feel my best And reconnect when we undress

Waking in a Panic 03:04
lyrics
Never thought waking up would be a fucking nightmare Till you looked me dead in the eyes and said “it’s over” Now I’m rolling around in bed Pushing my palms against my eyes into the back of my head Oh god, if I can’t sleep where can I go? Do I smoke? Do I drink? Do I find someone like you? Oh god, if I can’t sleep then where can I go? That’s the only escape I have ever known I keep telling myself to just keep on breathing Reaching for your hand but I keep on bleeding Now I’m holding myself to sleep Pushing my palms against my thighs The way you used to hold me Oh god, if I can’t sleep where can I go? Do I smoke? Do I drink? Do I find someone like you? Oh god, if I can’t sleep then where can I go? That’s the only escape I have ever known

Dizzy 02:48
lyrics
Time stops when you walk in the room And it feels like I’ve been dreaming My hands laid across your chest Just to feel your steady breathing A kiss goodbye is not enough A kiss goodbye is not enough Life won’t always be like this But you’re still with me now In my imagination of you You’re coming back for more A kiss goodbye is not enough A kiss goodbye is not enough Something has caught my eye and I don’t wanna lose it Something has crossed my mind and I don’t wanna lose it

Austin 02:44
lyrics
If I watch TV for a couple more hours Scroll on my phone till my fingertips bleed Waste away under a pile of blankets I’m bound to atrophy I’m my own hero if I get out of bed Resist the impulses I’ll order in I will drink and listen to Elliot Smith till I lose my mind In the morning I’ll feel like shit In this moment it’s what I can give Tomorrow won’t feel this bad But in this moment it’s all I can give The Texas sun is burning my skin And I’ve become a sinner Chewing on the words you left Swallow them back down To become a little wiser from this I’m afraid to submit to the passage of time In this body breaking down while I’m still alive I wasn’t made for forever I wasn’t made to last forever We weren’t made to last We weren’t made to last forever

Sprig' sophomore EP, "The Best Thing" comes out on April 12th, 2024 via No Stress Records. Produced by August Pemberton of Imagiro, the EP gives a coming-of-age style inspired by the likes of The Japanese House, Lucy Dacus, Slow Pulp, Elliot Smith, and Real Estate. Dreamy, reverby, and emotive, Sprig pivots around inner reflection and the emotional pull of nostalgia, intimacy, longing, dissociation, and acceptance.
