Lyrics of Next Of Kin by Alvvays
verse
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
pre-chorus
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
chorus
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 weeds
verse
The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream, sure no one would be hurt
And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound
pre-chorus
If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
chorus
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 weeds
bridge
No color to his skin
Inform the next of kin
No color to his skin
chorus
I left my love in the river
The only one I see
I left his hand in the current
And now I am left looking through the trees
outro
Ooh
Writer(s): Molly Margaret Rankin, Alec O'hanley, Brian Murphy
