lyrics

As we spin around in circles laughing
only seeing the planets painted on the walls
As you look upon them you realize
There’s no need to pretend
These people can make you feel happy again

We’re still at the age where driving feels like flying
I never knew I could feel so free by the pavement

But the only thing that we have in common is the fear
Sitting here crying in the cold
the stars reflect my tears
Thinking about that night when you took me out
We painted these streets and called them dreams
We were high, but we’re coming down

My lungs try to escape through my mouth
I am petrified
As you look in my eyes
Am I lying or am I just confused
Is this what it feels like to be used

But the only thing that we have in common is the fear
Sitting here crying in the cold
the stars reflect my tears
Thinking about that night when you took me out
We painted these streets and called them dreams
We were high, but we’re coming down

But the only thing that we have in common is love, it’s so unclear
If I don’t remember and you don’t care
Then why are we still here?
There’s so much talk of which way to go
A single step has never felt so impossible...so impossible

As we spin around in circles laughing
only seeing the planets painted on the walls
As you look upon them you realize
There’s no need to pretend
These people can make you feel happy again

Sprained Ankle

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
