lyrics

i braid your hair, wrap you in clothes
wollen socks, it’s getting cold
critical the doctors say
too many plans for too few days
that you have left but disregard
their prophecies and let’s embark
on frozen lakes on your two wheels
i push your chair in circles till
you raise your hand, the sign to stop
you giggle wildly full of hope
i goof around, you hide your fear
and i tell you we could make it at least another year

hands up hands down, they won’t always float around
they quite never found their place, now you won’t last another day

you have been my lucky strike but you won’t be here when i die

you press the sun against your cheeks
the only spot you really feel
i dont care how long i got
you tell me from your lion heart
as long’s you’re here to testify
that i had beauty in this life
it looks like you and it tastes so sweet
it feels and sounds still very real
so how can it be that from now on
each breath could be the last one that i draw

hands up hands down, they won’t always float around
they quite never found their place, now you won’t last another day

my blood grows still as yours runs cold, as pure as ash and gold and snow,
for the way the winds waves blow, so long you shall not return home

you have been my lucky strike but you won’t be here when i die

you’ll come upon an empty road
travelling from an empty shore
that you’ll reach in empty boats
scanning miles and miles of coasts

living life just fort o roam
throw a dice and set a goal
for the way that the wind blows
so long you shall not come back home

you’ll come upon an empty beach
stirring sand and catch the breeze
watch the sun until you sneeze
through the salty air you’ll breath

until it’s time to move along
you set your sail, direction none
let the waves just drag you on
before the sunset you’re long gone

about

Hey, we're LIKEWISE, we're 5 people, we're based in Vienna, we make some kind of indie-folk-music and we really like each other.

Some kind words about us:

"likewise- from austria, raw it is, like punk or two gallants or irish drinking songs, it’s so pleasant…no shit, full-blooded breathes of life"
(F. Clemons Hall)
