Tennis

Tennis is an American indie pop band from Denver made up of husband-and-wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. During their first tour, James Barone joined the band on drums. The couple met each other while studying philosophy in college, and started the band after they got back from a seven-month sailing expedition down the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard. They took their name from a joke about Patrick Riley playing tennis in college. Prior to joining Tennis, Moore's earliest singing experience was in church choirs during her youth. more »

With my heart in my throat
And the sun in my face
Lying here in your arms
I know this is the place
I would never try to explain 
How it felt when we kissed
Courting reason in dreams 
While my body resists
 
I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we can get used to
 
My footsteps over the concrete 
Blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete
Oh I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete
Tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete
Oh I live for you
 
With my throat in my heart
And my face on the sun
In your arms, I will lay
'Til my dreaming is done
 
Buried under mountains of earth
On the crest of a wave
Courting reason in love 
is a terrible waste
 
I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we could get used to
 
My footsteps over the concrete 
blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete
Oh I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete
Tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete
Oh I live for you

Oh I live for you
Oh I live for you
Oh I live for you
Oh I live for you
