I missed the late-night bus, I simply watched it go The driver waved I, headed home I’m not leaving this time, though I try to, change my mind I’m not leaving this place, watch as I stay Oh, I’m no coward I, just know what this is about Oh, I’m no coward oh, I’m listening, I’m listening now Some things I’d rather not know, places I’d rather, not go I’ll settle down to, hear you out though Oh, I’m no coward I, just know what this is about Oh, I’m no coward oh, I’m listening, I’m listening now And I’ll stand still and wait, I will, ‘till all is said and done I just know love, I know how it goes I’ll stand here, should it mean, I stand alone Oh, I’m no coward I, just know what this is about Oh, I’m no coward oh, I’m listening, I’m listening now Oh, I’m no coward I, just know what this is about Oh, I’m no coward oh, I’m listening, I’m listening now

Give me a reason to come home It was always what you did Give me a reason oh come on It was always what you did It was always you It was always you It was always you There’s a man in the crowd who I mistook for you He was blond and tall and slight, he looked just like you Give me a reason, anything at all For I’m sinking slow Tell me who’d I write to now, and who d’I talk about? You act like you don’t know It was always you It was always you It was always you There’s a man in the crowd who I mistook for you He was blond and tall and slight, he looked just like you And I’ll stand amongst the people till I can feel you near me And my stubbornness will keep me here until I believe That it’s me and the crowd that is you We are not one hundred, we are two It was always you It was always you It was always you

Oh I try not to think too much about
 The things that in the past have brought me down But these thoughts they’re dancers
 And while the music plays
 They move my body
 Can’t you see it sway? 
Oh I try not to talk too much about 
The things that in the past have brought you down But these thoughts they’re dancers
 And while the music plays
 You toss and turn 
The(se) same sheets that burn you keep me safe 
I’d tell you some kind words, to ease your mind girl I’d tell you some kind words, to ease your mind 
If only they’d reach you, but they never do 
So I just lay awake in bed instead
 Run my restless fingers through your hair Won’t you teach me
 You make it look so easy 
I’d tell you some kind words, to ease your mind girl I’d tell you some kind words, to ease your mind
 I’d tell you some kind words, to ease your mind girl I’d tell you some kind, kind, kind, kind words

about

The EP “I Don’t Think I Do” gathers four songs recorded by Augusta in early January, wrapped in a dressing gown and the comfort of her home. It touches on feelings of guilt, stubbornness and denial while also paying homage to a friends’ warmth, kindness and ability to comfort others. Written in an all too familiar effort to make sense of the confusing and make peace with the hurting, a common theme throughout is that where there is doubt and vulnerability there is also strength and the potential to grow.
