    Lucy Dacus is an astoundingly good songwriter. This is like 2 perfect songs packed into one. The best writer of the Boygenuis trio (although they ALL kick ass), in my humble opinion.

    • @TalkAsSoftAsChalk
      @TalkAsSoftAsChalk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +195

      I agree. She has a really strong voice too. They are all great but in my mind Lucy is just a tiny bit ahead of the two lyrically and vocally. It's very unfortunate that she may be the most underrated.

    I was going through a summer depression. The only thing I could get myself to do is bike and solve jigsaw puzzles. I listened to this random playlist and this song came up. I realized that summer was not that bad. At least i got out of the house and drank tea, at least i did the minimum. It was the best i could do. I would listen to this song over and over, loving every second of it. So whenever i listen to this song now, I remember that one summer. It takes me back and reminds me i can get out of my periods of depression. absolutely love this song

    This is one of the few songs that truly show the artist’s truth.
    100% authentic, raw emotion, experience and, that was strong to keep to themselves, or to strong to admit that they had no other choice but to tell it in song.

    The first time I tasted somebody else's spit
    I had a coughing fit
    I mistakenly called them by your name
    I was let down, it wasn't the same
    I'm doing fine
    Trying to derail my one track mind
    Regaining my self-worth in record time
    But I can't help but think
    Of your other in the bed that was mine
    Am I a masochist
    Resisting urges to punch you in the teeth?
    Call you a bitch and leave?
    Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
    What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
    I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
    But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
    Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
    Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
    Don't hold your breath
    Forget you ever saw me at my best
    You don't deserve what you don't respect
    Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect
    Now bite your tongue
    It's too dangerous to fall so young
    Take back what you said
    Can't lose what you never had
    I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
    But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
    Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
    Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
    You got a nine to five, so I'll take the night shift
    And I'll never see you again if I can help it
    In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
    Dedicated to new lovers
    You got a nine to five, so I'll take the night shift
    And I'll never see you again if I can help it
    In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
    Dedicated to new lovers
    You got a nine to five, so I'll take the night shift
    And I'll never see you again if I can help it
    In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
    Dedicated to new lovers
