about

“Don’t Hold Your Breath,” Javelina instantly lures the listener into the lushly detailed sonic world built by Cyrus and his collaborators. With its serpentine guitar tones, the track embodies a quiet mystique intensified by Cyrus and Cramer’s richly layered vocals. From there, the album drifts into “Autumn Leaves” and its pedal-steel-laced meditation on loss of innocence, a prime showcase for Cyrus’s lyrical poetry (“You see the sky from your living room/The moon’s the bride and the sun’s the groom/Lazarus is still in the tomb/He’ll never see the flowers in bloom”). “I bought a mandolin at a garage sale and wrote that whole song on it,” Cyrus recalls. “In the end we switched it out for guitar and added some pedal steel, and the whole thing just transformed.”

lyrics

I can’t laugh at you now
I didn’t know that you were leaving
Been laughing so long
Didn’t notice I was bleeding
I was holding my breath
Underwater I was living
All these thoughts in your head
But you were only dreaming

When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true

I can’t hide from you now
You always know where I have been
I never wanted to see
You walk around with him
It broke my heart in two
But at least its still beating
You were sleeping so long
I had to check if you were breathing

When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true

Theres coffee on the table
I’m not sure if I am able
To remember what I won’t forget
So how do you take it

When you wake up there’s a whole world ready for you
When you wake up there’ll be coffee made for two
When you wake up there’s a sunrise in your view
When you wake up all your dreams will be coming true

Theres coffee on the table
Im not sure if I am able to see it
