Pale Eyes is back with a soulful and moody rendition of Frank Ocean deep cut, Higgs. Built around acoustic guitar and whispering synths, the track is a hymn for new love and the bittersweet promise of a simple life.

lyrics

Saturdays involved making our entrances into life outside
We've been in this room too long
Recreation is keeping us self-contained and aware
Of each other's forms
Still and in full strides just the same
Keeping us warm
Walking in straight lines
Talking to sleep at night
Coddled and pacified
Our versions of mothers

So new to me
So new to me
Having you around
So new to me
So new to me
Having you around is

What if we decide to live by choice?
All this time I knew
The average was something to fall back on after genius ends
I watch video, the only difference is, it's flat and we miss
Sparks of lightning storm behind wet faces
Slipped my pants back on, rewind it back once more
To where tape stopped before I was back alone

I'll be back before
The street light's on, before the daylight's gone
I was spoiled by lavish thoughts
They don't compare, no, not at all
And had this been the past I might not know
What to do with all
Of what you've showed
What you give, my words can’t hold us
And if acts of God breaks us hard
At least we did us
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
If you've never been in love
Love
Love
Love
