lyrics

I run every day,
I'm a champion they say,
'Cause I do what I don't want to do,
Got nothing left to give,
I'm just decorative,
'Cause I do what I don't want to do,

I wanna tell you,
That I took it all in,
Though I move slowly,
I move surely,
I'd hate to have to tell you,
That ready never came,
So I'm making memories,
I'm making mistakes,
Is it enough to sustain me,
In my old age?

I choose my friends with care,
And my lovers with abandon,
'Cause I know what matters most in life,
Got no fucks left to give,
I was way too sensitive,
In my younger and more foolish days,

I wanna tell you,
That I took it all in,
Though I move slowly,
I move surely,
I'd hate to have to tell you,
That ready never came,
So I'm making memories,
I'm making mistakes,
Is it enough to sustain me,
In my old age?

I cherish all the time I've been given,
I want each day to last,
All the hardships are forgotten and forgiven,
As the future meets the past,

I wanna tell you,
That I took it all in,
Though I move slowly,
I move surely,
I'd hate to have to tell you,
That ready never came,
So I'm making memories,
I'm just making memories,
I'm making more memories,
Making mistakes

Libby Hortop Ottawa, Ontario

In 2014, Libby Hortop bought an autoharp off Kijiji on a whim and began writing songs in the simplest, most uninhibited way possible. When she teamed up with seasoned guitarist and singer Cal Tranner, Libby & Cal was born. Their jangly strings and smooth vocal harmonies combine to create a unique but accessible sound. They have performed at Kaffé 1820, Roxham Woolgathering, Art House, and Pressed. ... more
