This is one of a few unreleased songs that never made it onto the final version of Autophobia. We actually loved this song, but it just didn't work with the concept, so it got cut. Its funny how some songs like this just miss their moment and become lost to memory...
Luckily there are things like ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS which make it worth unearthing your hidden gems.
This is the best gift we can give to thank you all for 2 amazing years since our debut album released. You guys rock. Enjoy. <3

lyrics
Shake the rain off your coat and hat
Step through my door on to my welcome mat,
How ironic is that?
All the seconds turn to air,
My sense of time goes nowhere,
And I catch your stare.
Well your look at me it stings,
But your evil eye is nothing new
I had a pretty list of things
That I used to love about you.
What would you do for love?
I used to think you came from up above,
But I guess I had it wrong.
Your words were caressing, and I ain't no sleuth.
I guess you didn't know
That I prefer the truth.
The sound of empty promises,
They fill the room with rue.
I had a pretty list of things
That I used to love about you.
There were times when love could drag me across town,
Just to see if you were around.
Your smile, your space, your attitude of grace,
All of these things, I wrote them down.
The list of things stopped growing,
I don't know who you gave them to...
I had a pretty list of things
That I used to love about you.

Performed by oblio.
Lyrics by Blake Russell.
Music & Melody by Blake Russell & Free Hallas.
Recorded, Mixed, & Mastered by Free Hallas.
Blake’s spooky indie-folk project he does with his wife Jesica. Features all the members of oblio on most of the songs, so it’s kind of like an oblio side-project, too! Very moody and vibey. oblio
Free Parking! is a punk band we love dearly... so much so that we produced and recorded their album "Fanfiction" for 'em. It's a killer album, & their other records are equally killer. Check it! oblio
Blake & Alex (of oblio) started this LA folk-rock band a few years before oblio was formed. They were very young, but there's a few gems. It's a good next-step for oblio super-fans who want more. oblio
