Closer 04:27
A riverbed couldn’t hold us back I was a brick but now i’m cement beaver is building a home out of sticks and stones bumble bee is moving to the city of milk and honey i wish i could see the big picture we’re sinking ships when we whisper who makes mistakes like we do? i cant help but love you and in my head i wish i was dead cause i see ghosts hiding under the bed we're like skeletons that hide in the closet you are closer to me you are everything you are closer to me than the wind in the sails on my sea i wish i could see the big picture we’re sinking ships when we whisper who makes mistakes like we do? i cant help but love you

I keep you in a box under my bed My golden ring lies neatly in my hand Two dimensional renditions of our love I thought unconditional meant forever, forever The last time that I saw you Burnt pictures in my brain Just a memory now That keeps driving me insane, driving me insane You still exist in a place I long to visit But I can’t touch you now I crossed the limit I’ve seen kisses between owls, koala bear Making love was something I saw there The last time that I saw you Burnt pictures in my brain Just a memory now That keeps driving me insane The last time that I saw you Burnt pictures in my brain Just a memory now That keeps driving me insane, driving me insane

Beat Up Kids 03:54
I've been wondering why you act like you're dead inside There's no hope for the beat up kids Future as bright as the sun in my eyelids Goodbye to the holidays 'cause Lord knows they were never meant to stay I spend time with a friend of mine Who says dying is just a way of being alive And I've been thinking about this past year How all my troubles sing whispers in my ear I'll put my head underwater just so I cannot hear them 'Cause when they sing, it sounds like God descending

In my life I know I've made mistakes And those I hide will only try to escape This is my trial and that's my prison that awaits All the rainfall is just teardrops in my lake I'm writing you a letter I'm gonna be better It's gonna take time Just say you'll wait No sleep tonight You know it beats me up somedays The pictures I hide will always break down my gate This is my trial and that's my prison that awaits All the voices just noises in my cave

I met a girl from San Francisco Her favorite colors were teal and purple We spent a day at the beach eating ice cream and strawberries That's how I know I'll never let her go As the moon revealed itself She let her golden hair down And I felt hypnotized by the colors in her eyes

ALBUM REVIEW by The Deli Magazine NYC -

"Just got out of a crappy relationship? Stop moping around! Everyone knows the best way to deal with hard times is to groove your way through it. This is what makes bands like Cave Days so necessary for broken hearts everywhere. Sure they complain about the limits of unconditional love in confessional tearjerkers like 'Unconditional,' but more often than not, they manage to transcend these problems with the lively and sweat-soaked 'Closer' and 'Kodachrome Beach.' Their latest self-titled EP is the sugar you take with the medicine.

Members Jonathan Murphy and Richard Thomas seem to have discovered the hidden formula behind emotional recovery: sun-soaked guitars, reverb-soaked harmonies, and tropical grooves. Whether shouting back at the pain with lo-fi drum machines (Beat Up Kids), or strumming through their mistakes in campfire duets like 'All Voices Just Noises,' the duo always brings an emotional lift to their complex experiences. Sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered. - Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)"
