Studio City 03:23
Run Don’t you look so glamorous I know that’s always been your way And the light that’s in your eyes Don’t ever let it slip away You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way Run Runaway, run away Runaway, run Chase that dream all the way down to Studio City When the lights come on You’re the one You’re the one Run I know there’s things that keep you here But if you choose to stay The lights will never spell your name Their shine will begin to fade You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way Run Runaway, run away Runaway, run Chase that dream all the way down to Studio City When the lights come on You’re the one You’re the one Run And now you’re out of reach Right in front of me, right in front of me And now you’re out of reach Right in front of me, right in front of me You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way You’ve got to find a way out of this place You’ve got to find a way Run Runaway, run away Runaway, run Chase that dream all the way down to Studio City When the lights come on You’re the one You’re the one Run

Miracle 03:00
I’m at the edge of a sunset I’m looking in I’m not one for indecision I can hear my intuition It feels like time is in our hands But it’s slipping through our fingers We don’t need to be forgiven I’m not one for superstition I’m not one I’m not one to let go Let go I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away It’s going to take us far away I'm at the edge of a Canyon I’m looking in There’s no time for speculation We have to trust in our ambition We sunk our fears into the river But they’re floating to the surface Be yourself in all your brilliance Don’t be one to ask permission Don’t be one Don’t be one to let go Let go I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away It’s going to take us far away White hot light Dream with me Believe in me It doesn’t matter now Nothing matters It doesn’t matter now Nothing matters Oh white hot light Your eyes gave you away Dream with me Your eyes gave you away Believe in me Your eyes gave you away It doesn’t matter now Your eyes gave you away Nothing matters Your eyes gave you away It doesn’t matter now Your eyes gave you away Nothing matters I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away I put my money on a miracle tonight It’s going to take us far away It’s going to take us far away

Arizona Hwy 03:27
Just get in, I’ll explain along the way Dark sunglasses and a desert highway Dry your eyes, I know it’s been a long day Everything is going to be ok I’m pouring my heart out On an Arizona Highway I’m pouring my heart out And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling And I never, never, never Want to lose this feeling And I never, never We’ll drive all night watch the sunset slip away Let the midnight air run its hands across your face Count the stars and let the radio play Everything is going to be ok I’m pouring my heart out On an Arizona Highway I’m pouring my heart out And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling Days and nights come and go Passing cars, kisses blown All the things I should know Break it down nice and slow Days and nights come and go Passing cars, kisses blown All the things I should know Break it down nice and slow Days and nights come and go Passing cars and the kisses are blown Talk to me nice and slow Break it down all the things I should know I’m pouring my heart out On an Arizona Highway I’m pouring my heart out And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling And I never want to lose this feeling Want to lose this feeling

Lay yourself out like a constellation across the floor Arch your back let your imagination really take hold Hold your breath feel the inhalation fill up your lungs Close your eyes and let the trepidation abandon your bones And let yourself go And I'm coming I'm coming up for air I'm coming up Stop pulling me under Stop pulling me under I’m coming up for air I’m coming up Stop pulling me under Stop, stop it 800ft deep you allow yourself to undo a lock 800ft deep you allow yourself to slip the weights off And let yourself go I'm coming I'm coming up for air I'm coming up Stop pulling me under Stop pulling me under I’m coming up for air I’m coming up Stop pulling me under Stop, stop it The night dares us to dive back into The night dares us to dive back into Deeper, deeper and The night dares us to dive back into the night Deeper, deeper and Into the night I'm coming I'm coming up for air I'm coming up Stop pulling me under Stop pulling me under I’m coming up for air I’m coming up Stop pulling me under Stop, stop it I'm coming up for air I'm in over my head Last breath of oxygen I'm coming up I'm in over my head Last breath of oxygen Stop, stop, stop, stop it

All the things I’d do Just to talk to you White noise has a silver hue You’re the only thing that keeps cutting through I’m telling lies I’m biding time Just to keep you listening The coast is clear Would you still be here If you really wanted to leave If I get up, are you coming with me? If I get up, are you coming with me? I can’t help I can’t help but want it all Make those white sheets move That playfulness looks so good on you Honey you’re, you’re honour roll You’re a Golden Globe You’re a Super Bowl I’m telling lies I’m biding time Just to keep you listening The coast is clear Would you still be here If you really wanted to leave If I get up, are you coming with me? If I get up, are you coming with me? I can’t help I can’t help but want it all Only the restless Only the restless Know how I feel tonight Only the restless Only the restless Know how I feel If I get up, are you coming with me? If I get up, are you coming with me? If I get up, are you coming with me? If I get up I can't help but want it all I can't help I can't help but want it all

Alibi 03:17
That diamond on your finger Is scratching up my pillow And I know that you know I can’t shake, I can’t shake these bad ideas Sunk deep, sunk deep in my bone marrow I’m going to need an alibi, alibi I’m going to need an alibi, alibi There’s a news helicopter Blowin’ in my window See me on the talk shows Coming through the radio I’m going to need an alibi, alibi I know the knives will sharpen Making me their target And I know that you know This shaky, this shaky city by the sea Only, only brought me to my knees I’m going to need an alibi, alibi I’m going to need an alibi, alibi There's a news helicopter Bowin' in my window See me on the talk shows Coming through the radio I’m going to need an alibi, alibi I'm about to lose control No way out, nowhere to go I'm about to lose control No way out, nowhere to go I’m going to need an alibi, alibi I’m going to need an alibi, alibi There's a news helicopter Bowin' in my window See me on the talk shows Coming through the radio I’m going to need an alibi, alibi

Sink or swim There’s your options Sink or swim It’s 3:31 am and I’m wearing thin Don’t tell me Tell me what you’ve done Don’t tell me Tell me where you’ve been I swore I’d never do this again Only black diamonds Only black diamonds Can bring me back to life It’s 3:31 am and I’m wearing thin Don’t tell me Tell me what you’ve done Don’t tell me Tell me where you’ve been Don’t tell me Tell me you’ll play nice I swore I wouldn’t wait up tonight Only black diamonds Only black diamonds Can bring me back to life Only black diamonds Only black diamonds Can bring me back to life Can bring me back to life You tell that That devilish grin That love doesn’t count to three You tell that That devilish grin That love doesn’t count to three Only black diamonds Only black diamonds Can bring me back to life Only black diamonds Only black diamonds Can bring me back to life Can bring me back to life

Lip Service 04:39
Drive you around in a black convertible Your glassy air feeling oh so breakable Do I really want more? Do I really want more? Damage done, body sore Do I really want more? Lip service It’s all I got from you Lip service It’s all I got This careless love has got me coming back for more But there’s a tiger behind each and every door A broken glass jaw and a bruised ego I’m standing on the edge of the 29th floor I’m lookin’ at the pool below Do I really want more? Do I really want more? Damage done, body sore Do I really want more? Lip service It’s all I got from you Lip service Lip service It’s all I got from you Lip service It’s all I got I always thought I could have it both ways I always thought that everything would change I always thought I could have it both ways Everything could change Everything could change I always thought I could have it both ways Everything could change Everything could change I always thought I could have it both ways Everything could change Everything could change Change Do I really want more? Lip service It’s all I got from you Lip service It’s all I got Lip service It’s all I got from you Lip service It’s all I got

about

Toronto's beloved alt pop duo Darcys unveiled their first new music in two years, the bright, summery album, Centerfold, which was produced by recent Grammy and JUNO-Award winner Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Julian Casablancas).

Centerfold was recorded at Red Bull Studios in Auckland, New Zealand, and is the Arts & Crafts’ recording artists’ first commercial release since 2013’s Polaris and JUNO-nominated album Warring. The album, mixed by Matty Green (The Weeknd, TV On The Radio) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Vampire Weekend, Haim), sees the band – consisting of Jason Couse and Wes Marskell – exploring its pop ambitions and drawing from long-standing influences like Prince, The Killers, MGMT, and Chromeo.
