Next Of Kin Lyrics - Alvvays - Alvvays

We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour 

I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight 

You took something before you went in the shower 

To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight 

If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in 

I left my love in the river 

The only one who sees 

I lost his hand in the current 

It was the life I wanted and I hoped for 

And now I'm left sifting through the reeds

The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt 

The grass so tall, I knew we wouldn't be found 

We climbed into the stream sure no one would be heard 

And in no time at all there wasn't a sound 

If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in 

I left my love in the river 

The only one who sees 

I lost his hand in the current 

It was the life I wanted and I hoped for 

And now I am left sifting through the reeds 

Now cold to the skin, inform the next of kin 

Now cold to the skin

I left my lover in the river 

The only one I see 

I lost his hand in the current 

And now I am left flowing through the trees
