I’ll give you all of me at the start At least the all with which I can part I’ll take all of you in return Then break with dawn, a crash and burn I’ll tell you of my insecurities Say you’re the balm that my soul needs Planting excuses ready to bloom And I know it will be spring soon This is how I’ll break your heart My words are like honey, sweet on the lips Creating a mess wherever they stick My kisses like wine, seductive at first But the regret? You’ll never feel worse Oh I’m so complicated Misunderstood, To you I’ll be dedicated For the first month or two I’m so full of shit, if you can’t smell it It’s only because I’ve perfected how I’ll break your heart So sharpen the knives sharpen the spoons sharpen the pillows Cause I’ll be there soon And I’ll blame you for all of it If you let me break your heart

D’ya wanna get drunk some time Cause I wanna get drunk some time It’s all getting a little bit much It turns out I ain’t that tough A statue’s been thrown in the docks If history is now on the rocks Then I’ll need a bourbon on mine That whitewash is way past time God know how you even begin It’s exhausting, just hours in The next 4 centuries drinks on me I’ll need that for the apology D’ya wanna get drunk some time Cause I wanna get drunk some time And dance like we used to do Without questioning what it means to This bar’s a bit monochrome Like almost every bar I’ve known Put that on my tab With no hoods, no caps, no blacks I’m sorry that I fetishised you I hope you know I did love you I guess both things can be true Semantic somersaults Newspaper over faults Whataboutary It’s friendly mockery It’s just me and you Why’s this so hard to do? On my pedestal I’ve hidden from it all Here let me pour you a gin You doubt it’s where hope begins But maybe it’s the tonic we need Open the wound, see it bleed

Someone great

about

Channelling Teenage Fanclub, Waxahatchee, Wilco and Taylor Swift, the album describes the many ways we muck love up, carelessly or callously, during the bloom and bust of a relationship. Dusk-drenched melodies and bittersweet lyrics combine with occasionally country-tinged power-pop for an album perfectly suited for the golden hours of summer.
