Good Enough 03:16
lyrics
buy track
When I’m awake and you’re on my mind You seem to be a visitor from another time When the days were warm and you still looked the same I didn’t think I knew you then but you showed up anyway I didn’t have a clue what you’d think of me But I took my time and found my way out confidentially I tried too hard to be good enough But I only seemed to get in my way If I’m not good for nothing
I’m going to love you anyways If it makes no difference
Hold on to what I said If I’m not good for nothing
I’m going to love you anyways If it makes no difference
Hold on to what I said Hold on to what I said You’re going to miss me when I’m gone

No Questions Asked 04:59

I see your face and it all makes sense The room bends the light around you to show its reverence I try to make my way but my feet get stuck I watch you fade out of the scene, then I wake up Each time you were low, you’d see yourself back on top Not taking into mind the hits you take, on your way to make it up Those I thought were close, could only watch you destruct The process though slow was always sure, guaranteed to leave you fucked The mood settles in and it comes with the frost And not until May does it ever seem to thaw It’s during these times that I feel lost I bring you back to where we left off. I look for the signs to know that you’re OK But the worst is what I’ve come to expect based on recent history Don’t know why you chose to cut us off, what we did to offend But you can return no questions asked you don’t need to feel ashamed. The mood settles in and it comes with the frost And not until May does it ever seem to thaw It’s during these times that I feel lost I bring you back to where we left off.

Glory 04:21
lyrics

Waiting for the rise and fall of days When we will meet again Glory, why’d you leave me like you did Open hands, my face they hid Now I need you and you are not there I can’t see you with my eyes open We both were young and did not know any better Still I don’t blame you Glory when I met you I was whole Now that you have gone I have holes Try to fill them with the other girls But each one of them falls short The first thing you said to me was You look lost where are you going? I feel foolish because I forgot my reply What I said that made you smile 
Now that you have left I lie on the ground So I can be close to you now I press my ear to the dirt and hold my breath And listen for the sound of your heart, still beating Glory, when I heard that you had died I did not know how I would survive Now I guess I’m left with memories And the words that I was saving I will move on one day at a time and try to find another With each moment, I move closer to you Try to say I’m sorry

Hourglass 04:39
lyrics

You blow me kisses I wait for them I’m bound to your floor With open mouth You tell me secrets I listen close But what’s true and what’s myth There’s no way to ever know 
I am rising Yes I am My eyes are upward And waiting for spring You’ve got your secrets You’ll get your way While you decide, I lie in patient wait Tell me something Do you see Any room for us in your hourglass? I am rising Here I stand My eyes are upward And waiting for spring I am ready
Just give me the word Send up a signal I’ll cut clean and run I’ll cut clean and run You blow me kisses I wait for them I’m bound to your floor With open mouth Tell me something Do you see Any room for us in your hourglass?

about

Wide Awake | Open Hands is the third EP by Oakland, CA based electro-Americana band Mr. Kind. It was recorded at TRI Studios in San Rafael, the studio founded by the legendary Bob Weir, of the Grateful Dead. It is a departure from from the rough-around-the-edges garage folk rock of our first EP OK and the denser electronic leanings of their second EP, Mr. Kind. This EP shows the collaboration between the members of Mr. Kind deepening on their most ambitious studio effort to date.
