lyrics

I saw my heart
From the inside and out
I saw it on the screen
Of the cardiologist’s machine
It looked quite normal
It looked quite plain
And there was nothing that would explain
The pressure on my chest
My fluttered heart,
My constantly being out of breath

And neither the sonography, nor the lung scan
Would tell me anything about the situation
I think the cardiologist even used the word “perfect”
When she described my heart

Now I want to see yours
I want to see what it beats for
Could it be me?
Not fully, but partly
Or at least a small amount

But seeing mine didn’t really tell my anything about anything
Except some of the shape seemed to have healed
Maybe seeing yours would tell me something about some things
A chance to see through you

What if you would leave,
Without me ever seeing your heart on a screen?
What if you would leave,
Without me ever seeing your heart on a screen?

Would we even have been in love?

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Every Bad
by Porridge Radio

supported by 5 fans who also own “I Saw My Heart”

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential. Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
