lyrics

Marie’s gone missing, didn’t show for her shift
Left the Volvo perched on a steep snowdrift
Pointed due north when she blinked off the grid
And everyone’s still talkin’ ’bout what Jennifer did

Do you know where your mother hides the brandy?
Do you know what goes on behind the trees?
Do you know how to go a little crazy?
Baby, please...

Climb down, climb down from the window
We’re all meeting by the bend in the stream
Heard the search party screaming in the shadows
Baby, maybe it was just a dream

Nora brought the Moonlight in Vermont
Lila’s voice drops every time she takes a call
Heard she’s going with a guy from two towns over
That’s not all, that’s not all

Climb down, climb down from the rafters
And lie with me here on the ground
The dogs are circling the farmhouse now
They’re breathing down our necks, don’t make a sound

Do you want for the night to last forever?
Do you want to wrap yourself around the moon?
Do you want to maybe run away together?
Baby, soon…

Marie’s gone missing, left a note on the fridge
Daddy, don’t wait up for me
Daddy, don’t wait up for me
Daddy, don’t wait up for me
Daddy, don’t wait up for me

about

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
