Sidelines 03:42
Standing on the sidelines of myself Just watching everyone else Who’s to say when I play I got a jersey with no name I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true Waiting for a sign is a waste of time When I can find one in my mind Who’s to say where I should go I got a heart looking for a home I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true

I never wake up early, I only wake up late I never need the sunshine, I only need the rain I leave my coffee black, I leave the radio on I leave it on a station where I don’t have to sing along Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening I got all of these layers to me telling me who I should be Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening I got all of these layers to me but who knows what’s underneath Who knows your inside out more than your outside in Who knows your inside out more than your outside in I go out in the world, and I get my checklist done But you should see my hard drive, it’s not like anyone’s And I drive too fast, but it’s not for speed I get ahead of myself like you wouldn’t believe I put myself to bed, I try to live my dreams Under the covers, who knows what’s underneath

Ideas 03:09 video
Get out of your mind Find out what you find Get out of your mind Find out what you find What you think of yourself Isn’t what they think too How you speak of yourself Is what you make come true Take your little ideas Make them a little bit stronger Throw out the ones you can’t You don’t need them any longer You’ve got a problem for yourself But I can tell it won’t be a hard one to do One plus one plus one plus one plus one Isn’t two Get out of your mind Find out what you find Get out of your mind Find out what you find

Trust 03:55 video
Trust myself, no one else But I got some doubts if I’m being honest On a quest, no regrets Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest Times up, times out, a whisper becomes a shout I will be heard I will say every word Forget the way I was taught to behave No need to forgive, all I gotta do is Trust myself, no one else But I got some doubts if I’m being honest What a mess, all the stress Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it Hold my breath, only yes Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest On a quest, no regrets Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest Turn up, tune in, a revolution will begin Stand up, stand tall, attitude says it all Must right what’s wrong, I won’t play along No need to forgive, all I gotta do is Trust myself, no one else But I got some doubts if I’m being honest What a mess, all the stress Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it Hold my breath, only yes Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest On a quest, no regrets Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest Turn up the volume, I will not be quiet Freedom’s around the corner, I know I can find it Leave the indecision deciding who I am Leave the hesitation, I think I should I think I can Trust myself, no one else But I got some doubts if I’m being honest What a mess, all the stress Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it Hold my breath, only yes Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest On a quest, no regrets Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest

about

"Sidelines" is the final single from Gracie and Rachel's forthcoming LP “Hello Weakness, You Make Me Strong,” out September 18th (but available for pre-order now digital, vinyl, cd, merch) on Righteous Babe Records.


The duo says about "Sidelines": "This song was written in a really different way for us. During a moment of longing for connection and a frustration with an inability to reach it, Rachel began playing the piano and mumbling a melody. Then Gracie came in and translated Rachel’s stream-of-consciousness mumbles into words about longing and loss, about standing on the sidelines of yourself. Without communicating verbally, Rachel expressed her feelings through sound, Gracie articulated the way Rachel was feeling through lyric, and a song was born. Even when you don’t necessarily know how to say it out loud, feeling it can be enough, and maybe someone will hear you anyway."
