lyrics

Call me if you can, tell me I’m the operator
Call me if you can, tell me I’m the operator
Lit flares in my hands and I’m set to explode
I’m a minefield you marvel at, but don’t get too close

You can run without a purpose
But I am still too young,
I am an animal circling itself.

I shoo and shun, I pull out feathers
Divided from just one
I hardly recognize parts of myself

Call me if you can, tell me I’m the operator
Call me if you can, tell me I’m the operator
Lit flares in my hands and I’m set to explode
I’m a minefield you marvel at, but don’t get too close

Oh, I wanted you bad,
So bad. I wanted you bad.

You can run if it makes you feel better
But I misunderstood
I hardly recognize where I went wrong.
And now I’m running behind...

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
