Found Me 00:19
A shell, a fragment, nothing. My heart a ship lost at sea. No message in the bottle. I put down the bottle and found me.
2.
Heather 02:10
Heather is a girl too young for me. My friends say I’m out of touch, that the gray in my hair ain’t going nowhere and in the back there isn’t much. Still, I try to get her attention with a joke and a laugh. I order a drink to ease the tension, Diet Coke in my glass. I try to win her over and invite her to my place, I’m lucky as a three leaf clover, Heather laughs in my face. she takes my hand, I’m as nervous as can be, and she tells me we’re better off as friends.
3.
It’s been three long days, since I saw you. It’s not that I’m obsessed, I’m just into you. I’ll do whatever it takes, I’m over the moon. It’s been three long days, call me soon. I’m into you, call me soon. Why won’t you go to the mall with me? We can meet by the clock in the food court at quarter past three. It could be the two of us, I’d buy you an Orange Julius. I’m into you, call me soon. I want to get caught by Mr. Bresnahan on the back of the band bus, on our way to the game, holding your hand.
4.
I’m from the wrong side of Webster Street, I know. I’ve got this chip on my shoulder I can not break. Your daddy don’t like me and neither do your friends. Mr. Bresnahan tells you to stay away from me, so I’m losing you again. I know that I may not be the brightest bulb. My denim jacket seems to be a little tough, but I’ve got this heart of gold that I’d like to share with you. If you only give me one chance, I’d prove I’m the one for you. I won’t be another loser in the parking lot, hanging out the year after graduation smoking pot. I need a hand to hold and my heart beats for you. If you’d only give me one chance I’d prove I’m the one for you. It seems as though you’ve got a lot on your mind and I can’t shake yours off of mine. You feel for the me, the same way I feel for you, but they don’t know - we should let them know.

Courtney 01:42
Courtney, I’m thinking of you. I hope I haven’t spoke to soon. My heart pounds as you walk through the room, it’s true I’ve fallen for you. Every text I get, my forehead gets a bead of sweat wondering what comes next. An emoji you’ll soon forgot. I’m not used to this. Is it better in type than from my lips? I’m waiting for the moment when we first kiss. We can make the Summer ours and in the Fall we can share the stars, thinking of each other as we fall asleep. I believe in you, do you believe in me?
6.
My days were lonely, before you came along. You filled my heart with love and my soul with song. I get why you’re going, please don’t be long. I’ll be here waiting with an open mind and open arms. I promise to be the one that will love you and if the ship sinks, I’m still singing with my arms wrapped around you. My nights were empty without you in my life. You filled my sky with stars and fireworks so bright. I get why you’re going and know that you’re strong. I’ll be here waiting hoping you will sing along. I promise to be the one that will love you.
7.
Count On Me 03:06
I can’t believe that you’re here with me. I’ve felt this way before, but only in my sleep. I wish this could last forever, every moment spent with you is a memory to keep. I’m wishing your hand was on mine as I drift into the night. Count on me, I swear my love is true. I’ve been counting sheep to sleep hoping that I could dream of you. I can feel your breath on me and I can’t help wanting more, it’s your love that I need. I never felt this way for anyone and I know you feel it too, because you’ve whispered it to me. I’m seeing your eyes in the stars as I drive through the night. Do you believe in love? Do you feel that it’s more than enough? I’m still seeing your eyes in the stars as I drive through the night.
8.
It feels like this is a dream, will someone please pinch me? I love you so. I don’t want to seem full of insecurities, I just need to know. What’s on your brain? I’ll try and love you just the same. Baby, it’s true, I’ve fallen for you, please tell me there’s no other dude. If I am to wake, our love is no mistake. My heart has grown. I don’t want to feel this uncertainty, please tell me so. It feels like this is a dream, will somebody please pinch me? I love you so.
9.
Streetlight 04:38
I fell in love with you the night we snuck out late and kissed under the streetlight. That’s when I knew you and I belonged. Summer sun is gone the light’s faded and I’m still waiting for your love. All my friends say I should be patient and try waiting for a new love. Every song I hear reminds me of you. I just want you near. My heart is split in two. The trees are bare and the leaves have withered, I shiver in this cold. I ask myself why should I bother with another? It’s you that I want to hold. Every breath I take before I sing for you, I feel my lungs ache, and my bones split in two.
10.
I fell for you. You put fireworks in my heart. I don’t know how it started. I fell for you. It didn’t make much sense and maybe that’s why it was right. A blue bird flew from its cage and into the light. Finding happy in each day as present as can be. You’re to thank, you’re hope, you gave me reason to believe. You were sun on the first day of Spring. You’re the last breath I inhale before I sing.

about

Donaher's debut LP includes ten power pop songs about nostalgia, falling into love, and fading into heartbreak. Savagely sweet and contagiously cute, "I Swear My Love Is True" is the soundtrack to your summer. Produced by Gary Cioffi (Transit, A Will Away) and mastered by Jim Keaney (Appreciation Post, Pansy Division). Includes "No Other Dude" featuring a guest vocal from Matt Pryor of the Get Up Kids.

New Hampshire's The Hippo Press described Donaher as "a buoyant confection with a Fountains of Wayne and Weezer vibe".

The band is led by Nick Lavallee and Tristan Omand with Lee Sevigny and Adam Wood completing the rhythm section.
