lyrics

I try my hardest to scare you away
But you just smile when I wax insane
And I’ll hang you on laughter if it’s love that you’re after
I want a tidal to cover my name
I want a womb I wanna nurse my pain
And the shame of disaster when I think what I became

I don’t wanna do this to you
But I can’t help myself

There was a trip there was a hole in the time
I was a mess you were warm and kind
Oh oh oh
But now you’re wanting just a little bit more
Oh I'm still tangled, unavailable, and I know that I should be
Careful what I’m wishing for

I don’t wanna do this to you
But I can’t help myself

Lalalalalalalala, Oh Oh Oh

I said I gotta gotta let you know
A-falling up feels hard like letting go
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
And you really shouldn’t give me your heart
Cuz I’ll be gentle when I tear it apart…

I try my hardest to scare you away
But you just smile when I wax insane
And I’ll hang you on laughter if it’s love that you’re after

about

Lily Virginia Oakland, California

Music is a lot of things. Navigating the disconnect and the connect. I'd like to make you feel something and maybe one day you'll sing a song of mine a little too loudly walking down the street...
