about

Some people seem to always know what to say and when to say it. They have the right words tucked away and bring them out at just the right moment. Born on a cold and windy Normandy evening, Kind Words is a homage to warmth, kindness and friendship. Inspired by a friend and her strength in comforting others, “Kind Words” is the second single off Augusta’s upcoming EP “I don’t think I do”.

lyrics

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
