It's been Two months, you feel like a stranger I never thought it'd come to this I avert your gaze I back away from your kiss (I swear I heard) "Step back and let me remind you Of all those times we have shared" But I can hardly recall How it felt to care I can't handle this I can't handle this I can't handle this I can't handle this I know it's been A while since you saw me sober I can't believe the state I'm in I know in my heart it's over I don't wanna let the thought sink in (I know I've been) SUCH AN ASSHOLE, I'm sorry, bro I'm no good with apologies, so here you go This is the closest I'll ever come; You deserved better than this, oh (The mistakes I've made) I can't handle this (And these moments I've wasted) I can't handle this (They all have amounted to shit) I can't handle this I can't handle this (But fuck remorse; that's the real waste) I can't handle this (And I am in no haste) I can't handle this (Go on, take your time with this) I can't handle this I can't handle this It just feels like it's over now But I don't wanna let go I've been wasting so much time Just trying to cope And everybody's such a bitch about it And I don't wanna give a shit about it You really hurt my heart, though This was a total dick move, bro Feels like I'm wasting time Yours and mine Took no sides Still lost twice It just feels like I'm wasting time (wasting time) Yours and mine Took no sides Still lost twice, oh Everybody's such a bitch about it (Wasting time) And I don't wanna give a shit about it (Yours and mine) Everybody's talking shit (Took no sides) Shit, I know, oh (Still lost twice) Everybody's such a bitch about it (Feels like I’m wasting time) And I don't wanna give a shit about it (Yours and mine) Everybody's talking shit (Took no sides) Shit, I know, oh (Still lost twice) I can't handle this I can't handle this I can't handle this I can't handle this I just wanna leave (I can't handle this) Just wanna go (I can't handle this) Go on and grieve (I can't handle this) And let me go (I can't handle this) From all your dreams (I can't handle this) From all your hopes (I can't handle this) I know all those things I said (I can't handle this) Made me sound cold (I can't handle this) It's all I know

Leaving Tolmin 03:57

I've been crying All the way home from Tolmin Leaving you From the camp to the cab I kept picking on old scabs Hoping they'd leave a scar 'Cause I need to remember The nights that we spent here When the miles and the months stretch too far I've been staying Up all night, wasting time Losing sleep with you I'm always saying We're on our own, we all die alone But I found a home in you At the Schnapps wheel, outta luck "RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS SUCKS" Melby and De Backer's double doctor, oh “And that time you woke me up” It's karaoke time o'clock “Part of me wanted to clock her” Lazy days in the Soča river Butt stuff talks with Craig (“huh?”) First aid tents And inline handstands Somehow unrelated incidents I've been staying Up all night, wasting time Losing sleep with you I'm always saying We're on our own, we all die alone But I found a home in you Nana nana Nana nana Nana nana nana Nana na na Nana nana Nana nana Nana na nana I've been crying (*sob*) All the way home from Tolmin Leaving All of my friends behind “And there's a time in my life when that wouldn't have fazed me” Guess I've grown more than I realized “Learning the hard way; vulnerability” Is just growing pains in disguise “Breaking and healing” all in the same breath “Aching and feeling done” And for the first time in my life I'm not gonna run I've been staying (“Wooo”) Up all night, wasting time Losing sleep with you I'm always saying We're on our own, we all die alone But I found a home in you Nana nana Nana nana Nana nana nana Nana na na Nana nana Nana nana Nana na nana I've been crying All the way home from Tolmin But you’re so worth every tear

My boots on cracks in sidewalks Footprints in a snowy sandbox I know this block like it's my own MY FRIENDS SAY This is my home as well now Ask 'em where I live, IT’S PENTHAUS The smell of burning waffles guide me home And all I need is in these rooms beside me Catch me chuggin' with my bros All through the night Through all of these pints The tacos and Wayne's World made everything right And all that I say, and all that I mean Is you were my shelter when this world Came crashing down all around me Trams 11 through 13 You'll find us in the park come spring Look for Adrian, he'll be catching up on sleep (That pink-haired dude) You'll hear Melby’s voice from miles away But you can't make out a word he says I still have to make an effort to this day And all I need is Tonje, wine and movies Catch me snugglin' with my bros All through the night Through all of these pints The tacos and Wayne's World made everything right And all that I say, and all that I mean Is you were my shelter when this world Came crashing down all around me Late night, me and Ollie gushing Daydreams, yeah, we keep on crushing On these two cuties that we know OUR FRIENDS ALL SAY Shoot your shots, and make it happen I swear I can hear Melby laughin' I just wanna dream a little more And all I need is wasted nights with homies Catch me huggin' all my bros All through the night Through all of these pints You play This Is Satire and everything's right And all that I say, and all that I mean Is you were my shelter when this world Came crashing down all around me

Shoes off, freshly scraped knees Swing set, warm summer breeze Cold beer on hot concrete The world reduced to my roller coaster seat And I can't see for the life of me Why I'd ever leave this way of life Oh, and I can't see for the life of me Why you wouldn't lead this sort of life Uh-oh, water machine guns Uh-oh, beer in the sun Uh-oh, uh-oh Uh-oh, let's tear up the town Uh-oh, and terrorize the playground Uh-oh, uh-oh No responsibilities, false humilities I don't have the time for that No obligations, awkward situations I cannot waste my precious time on shit like that, oh, oh, oh Uh-oh, water machine guns Uh-oh, beer in the sun Uh-oh, uh-oh Uh-oh, let's tear up the town Uh-oh, and terrorize the playground Uh-oh, uh-oh Uh-oh, pocket my slingshot Uh-oh, pack all I've got Uh-oh, head outta town Uh-oh, cute boys on skate ramps Uh-oh, blown out guitar amps Uh-oh, whoa Guess it's summer time

I’m juggling six damn tasks at once It’s 2pm and I ain’t had lunch I’m getting more sour by the hour And I’m in desperate need for fun There’s nothing worth this bullshit And Mikey just stands by I need to leave this room Before I take out his eye I need to get out of this place I need to pack my bags and turn my back And run really far away There’s nothing more for me to gain From staying in this shithole I’m just rotting away This job is killing me I’m juggling six damn tasks at once It’s 3, gave up on lunch I’m losing my mind Trying to cater to this redneck scum Calm on the surface Like everything is perfect I smile swallowing bile Trying to picture your murder Oh, this job is killing me I’m juggling six damn tasks at once It’s 2pm and I ain’t had lunch I’m getting more sour by the hour And I’m in desperate need for fun There’s nothing worth this bullshit And Mikey just stands by I need to leave this room Before I take out his eye I need to get out of this place I need to pack my bags and turn my back And run really far away There’s nothing more for me to gain From staying in this shithole I’m just rotting away This job is killing me I’m juggling sixteen tons at once It’s 3, gave up on lunch I’m losing my mind Trying to cater to this redneck scum Calm on the surface Like everything is perfect I smile swallowing bile Trying to picture your murder Oh, this job is killing me Calm on the surface, oh I’m fucking calm on the surface I’m calm on the surface Calm on the surface, oh I’m fucking calm on the surface I’m calm on the surface I’m this close to losing my temper (Calm on the surface, oh) Just about this close to fucking you up (I’m fucking calm on the surface Calm on the surface) I’m just about this close to losing my temper (Calm on the surface, oh) Just about this - this - close (I'm fucking calm on the surface) And you're pushing your luck

about

TwoMinutesHate came hurtling onto the scene just last summer and have not taken a moment's rest since!
Now, just one year after the release of their debut EP, they’re breaking out their sophomore EP Calm On The Surface!

From silly summer fun in SMR to heartfelt stories about friendship and heartbreak in songs like Operator, Take Me Home and 2249 Days, Calm On The Surface displays a wide range of emotion as well as a varied sound.
While pop punk might be where TwoMinutesHate have their roots, the band is definitely not too worried about branching out, as they unabashedly stuff their pockets with elements from everything from country to stadium rock.

Regular airplay on one of Norway’s bigger radio stations, P13, a song featured on the soundtrack of last year's hit comedy Jentetur and another song previously featured on one of Spotify’s own lists; TwoMinutesHate has already piqued the interest of many a pop punk aficionado, but you better believe this is only the beginning!
