PRE CHORUS ---------------- [Joule] Grabbin' clouds and lookin' down and we're, grabbin' clouds and lookin' down and we're only here for a short time, short time. Let me see your hands in the air like this.. (x2) CHORUS ----------- [Joule & Content] Grabbin' clouds Lookin' down at the world as a whole Tryin' to live it up like everyday after school We're only here for a short time Lemme see your hands in the air like... 1ST VERSE ------------- [Content] Now we're lookin' out for a project x, where the party next, It's on and it's on to the next crowd, a friday night let down. It's like a neighborhood watch, when we're racing against the clock, wishin that we could stop time. Click, click, zoom, when ya stuck in the rewind (and now its) Click, click, boom, and we stop on a dime We otta - follow through I found a place for - me and you at my house CHORUS ----------- [Joule & Content] Grabbin' clouds Lookin' down at the world as a whole Tryin' to live it up like everyday after school We're only here for a short time Lemme see your hands in the air like... 2ND VERSE ------------- [Joule] You got a bottle hold it up (hold it up) Oh, fill up a solo cup (fill it up) Whatever you wanna drink just put it down on me (down, down, down, oh) Posted up in the room Lot of ladies in my view but I'm Lookin' at two and I don't know which one to choose Screw it and grab 'em both (both of 'em) She said her name was Heather, The other one, I don't know (oh well!) Walkin' through this crowd it feels like time is movin' slow I'm feelin' this night life, I'm lovin' this limelight, I'm livin' on cloud nine.. BRIDGE --------- [Content] Grabbin' clouds and we're looking down Cause we've taken time to just, live our life like this [Joule] We got that music that your groovin' to what your doin' [Who wants to party!] (x2) CHORUS ----------- [Joule & Content] Grabbin' clouds Lookin' down at the world as a whole Tryin' to live it up like everyday after school We're only here for a short time Lemme see your hands in the air like this. [Content] Grabbin' clouds and we're looking down Cause we've taken time to just, live our life like this [Joule] Grabbin' clouds and lookin' down and we're, grabbin' clouds and lookin' down and we're only here for a short time, short time. Let me see your hands in the air like this (x2)

about

"Talksick" is the first of two EP's with Read & Return's new line up (Content, Joule, and Failsafe.) As a whole, the album touches topics of friendship, love, the music industry, and angst about the suffering some artists go through to reach the top. We've starved some days during the making of this EP but it has been worth every cent we've put down. We can talk all we want but if we didn't go out of our way to prove ourselves then we don't deserve what we've gotten in return.

I can vouch for the others in the group when I say that we've made this to show our love for music. It's in our hands as indie artists to build everything from the ground up. Take a listen, grab a copy, and share it with your friends.

A big shout out goes to everyone who has made Read & Return what is today. Brant, thank you for helping promote and taking pictures at our shows! Chris, thank you for helping us from day one with security and for all the times you've came out to our shows to show support. Tish, thank you for opening up your home to us and allowing us to become part of your family. Thank you for the meals when we were struggling and of course for the moral support! Jay, thank you for hyping up the crowd and being a leader. We've been looking for someone like you for a long time and I'm glad that we can call you family. I can't wait to meet your little man soon! Marissa, thank you for being the first one to know all of our lyrics at the shows and yelling them back at us just as loud as we've been yelling them out at you. Jordan, thanks for being my best friend and giving me a place to stay here in Iowa. If it wasn't for you, things wouldn't be the same. You've helped me keep a level head and keep our eyes on the prize. Emille, thank you so much for letting us use your house for recording. If it wasn't for you this EP wouldn't have been possible whatsoever. I couldn't have asked for a better PR man, stay on the grind buddy. To our families and loved ones, thank you for your undying support over the years. It's been hard but I know that we will make it if you continue to believe in us. Last but not least, shout outs go to Gypsee Child, Muldoon's Clever Girls, Waffles and his 32 Imaginary Friends, Cain, Sidetracked, and Sleeping With A Goddess. You all are family, we love each and everyone of you with all our hearts. Let's put Burlington, Iowa on the map again. To anyone I missed, don't be hurt, you know we appreciate you just as much as everyone else!
