about

A nice beach tune featuring sibling harmony.

lyrics

It took til we heard time ticking
Until we turned intentional about togetherness.
There’s no such thing as too late,
We had days to appreciate,
But I wish we had more time.

I don’t know why I miss you
It feels like I just met you.
Before you left I thought you should know.
I’m torn up that you’re leaving,
it’d be good to hear you saying,
that you’ll remember me from Mykonos.

Like acquaintances we brushed shoulders for a year,
Like wishful thinkers circled for one more
And finally like lovers
We walked and talked like lovers for a week
Wish it were more

I still wonder why I miss you
I mean I never even kissed you.
Just before you left I called to tell you so
I’m so sad that you’re leaving,
I’ll be glad to hear you saying, that you
remember me from Mykonos

bababa

For years our hands washed dishes in the sink
Wishing I could wipe the soap off of your cheek
Fingers rollin momos through university
Until last night they pulled you close together finally

I know now why I miss you
I’m sure it’s cuz I love you
Just before you left I called to tell you so
I’m sorry that you’re leaving,
But it’s good to hear you saying
That you’ll love me back to here from Mykonos.

Two years, four hands
Holding to a chance
One week, two minds
Running out of time

I know now why I miss you
(Two years). (Four hands)
I’m sure it’s cuz I love you.
(Holding to a chance)
Just before you left I called to tell you so.
(One week). (Two minds)
(...Running out of time)
While I’m sorry that your leaving
It’s good to hear you saying
That you’ll love me back to here from Mykonos
