lyrics

somebody buy me roses.
somebody make sure i get out of bed today. somebody be my baby.
somebody see that i don’t get in my own way. somebody hold my head up.
somebody hope that i don’t give up, not this time. somebody check my email.
somebody just give me the damn highlights.

i don’t wanna be here.
how’m i supposed to be healed? i don’t wanna be here,
staring at the wall again.

somebody hold me hostage.
somebody make me think i might be worth something. somebody take a photo.
somehow i know i won’t be remembering.
somebody be my angel.
somebody change the angle i see all the time. somebody fast forward.
somebody just give me the damn highlights.

i don’t wanna be here.
how’m i supposed to be healed? everybody goes home
and the way there is not clear.

i don’t wanna be here.
how’m i supposed to be healed? everybody grows up
and leaves me in the tower. drinking from the bottle, knowing what it does to me. seeing every color
sliding into shadow.

while i can,
i will carry my own bags. and i will call my father when i know that he’s alone.

and i will plant a plot
of yellow flowers.
they’ll be a sign
to whichever one of us survives.

and when i see the ghost of orange blossoms
in the snow,
i’ll know it was you.

and i’m coming soon.

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it. I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!! (also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
