listening lately:
Emily I'm Sorry/boygenius
She's asleep in the backseatLooking peaceful enough to meBut she's waking up inside a dreamFull of screeching tires and fireWe're coming back from where no one livesPretty much just veteransWhen I pointed out where the North Star isShe called me a fucking liar
Emily, I'm sorry I justMake it up as I go alongAnd I can feel myself becomingSomeone only you could want
Headed straight for the concreteIn a nightmare, screamingNow I'm wide awake, spiralingAnd you don't want to talkJust take me back to MontrealI'll get a real job, you'll go back to schoolWe can burn out in the freezing coldAnd just get lost
Emily, I'm sorry, babyYou know how I get when I'm wrongAnd I can feel myself becomingSomebody I'm not, I'm not, soEmily, forgive me, can weMake it up as we go along?I'm twenty-seven and I don't know who I amBut I know what I want
Emily, I'm sorryEmily, I'm sorryI'm sorry
Favor/Julien Baker
We took the forty down toVisit the family, and ITold you, the only kin I knewWas who I could see from the gurneyI used to think about myselfLike I was a talented liarTurns out that all my friends wereTrying to do me a favor
I always want to tell the truthBut it never seems like the right timeTo be serious enoughI'm sorry, I'm making myself cryHow long do I have untilI've spent up everyone's goodwill?
Sat on the hood, out all nightTrying to scrape together changeYou pulled a moth out from the grill of your truckSaying "It's a shame"How come it's so much easierWith anything less than human?Letting yourself be tenderWell, you couldn't make me do it
It doesn't feel too bad, but itDoesn't feel too good eitherJust like a nicotine patch, itHardly works, then it's over
Who put meIn your way to find?What right had youNot to let me die?Ooh, but did I even knowWhat I was asking for?If I had my wayI'd have missed you moreThan you missed meYou missed me
You missed meYou missed me
Immune/Jensen McRae
Traffic from the East side got me aggravatedHotter than the day my brother graduatedWait for hours in the sunIn line at Dodgers StadiumI'm not scared of dogs or getting vaccinated
Lay the seat back, turn this place into a bedSomeone's smoking in the Camry just aheadYeah, I know the ironyWould never be lost on meYou don't have to point it outAgain
What will we say to each otherWhen the needle goes in?What will we be to each otherIf the world doesn't end?
Radio is static through the Taylor songThink a college football game is comin' onGod you hate Top 40 shitBut as the sports preempted itYour mouth in my earYou hummed along
What will we say to each otherWhen the needle goes in?What will we be to each otherIf the world doesn't end?
Think the nurse that gave our shots is judging usCan she tell that we just fucked the friendship up?As we leave, I turn to youAsk how it feels to be immuneAnd you know what I mean a bit too much
What will we say to each otherWhen the needle goes in?What will we be to each otherIf the world doesn't end?
What will we say to each other?What will we be to each other?Ooh
I'll edit this listen as I continue to listen.
