about

This was probably the last song I wrote for the record. By this point I wanted to write something that was a little more literal lyrically without much room for metaphor or mystique, and this was what came out. It’s probably the only song on the record that’s got one eye on the future and so it made sense to put it as the last song on the record. It’s a pretty hopeful song.

lyrics

Woke with a heavy head, my dreams were on a loop
Try blame it on my bed, not all the red drank with you
In the bars we crawled around
and we stayed there until they kicked us out

I probably made a mess
As far as I can tell
My memory’s a haze
But I think I fell in love, in love with you
I think I fell in love, in love with you

Told me where you grew up, far away from the city
You asked me to repeat everything twice
and I know that I sound like I’m half asleep
If I was would you come and lie with me?

I think I fell in love, in love with you
Can you tell that I’m telling the truth?
I think I fell in love, in love with you

I guess we ought to go, there’s nowhere left to be
Just let me grab my coat and we can flee the scene
