lyrics

GETTIN' CLOSER IS KEEPIN' US APART...

WELL THERE ARE A FEW THINGS
THAT I WOULDN'T MISS
IF I PLACE 'EM OFF THE WALL
WILL YOU MIND THOSE OPPORTUNITIES
THAT I NEVER FELT BEFORE..

IT'S ALL THOSE DEALS THAT ARE WAITING FOR US
TO WHICH BOTH OF US CAN'T RELATE
THAT FEEL SO INCREDIBLE
YET SO FORGETTABLE
IT'S ALL THOSE SACRED THINGS THAT ARE WAITING FOR US
TO WHICH NOBODY CAN RELATE
THAT SEEM SO IMPECCABLE
BUT TURN OUT REGRETTABLE

OH NO NO..
OOH MARY HAD A LITTLE CHILD
THAT SHE RAISED BY HERSELF AND LEARNED HOW TO HIDE
SO WHO COULD EVER COME AND CARE FOR HER LIFE
'CAUSE WHO COULD EVER KNOW THE SECRET SHE TRIED TO
BURY IN THE NAME OF GOD
AND IF SOMEONE SHOULD TRY TO ENTER HER HEART
THEN SHE'LL TRY TO GET EVEN, TRY TO GET EVEN, TRY TO GET EVEN,
TRY TO GET EVEN FOR:

HONEST REACH, ARMS THAT DELIVER,
BEGGING TO BELONG AND KEEPIN' US ALIVE FOR
BEING TENDER, ARMS TOGETHER,
FEELING SO INVOLVED AND FOR GETTIN' US SO FAR
FOR TEARS, CHEST, SINS FORGIVEN,
FOR CRUSHING DOWN THE WALLS AND WASTING TIME ON TRYING
TO BE RESTLESS BUT TIED TOGETHER
TEARING UP YOURSELF AND FILLING US WITH LOVE SO

EVEN, EVEN, TRY TO GET EVEN
EVEN, EVEN, IT'S KEEPING US APART
EVEN, WASTED, KEEP US TOGETHER, GETTING CLOSER IS KEEPING US APART

about

Jonathan Rijeka, Croatia

Jonathan is a band of five close friends from Rijeka whose paths crossed in 2011. Their music is maybe best described as dark-lens optimism - there is an honest undertone of pain and angst in almost all of the tracks - which allows for a punky vibe - and a surge of energy and hope which leaves you blindsided.

Ziro - vocals
Husta - drums
Nixon - bass
Rade - guitar
Tomo - guitar
Hrvoje - keyboard ... more
