I remember your instagram post about which versions to make “final”.   Im a huge fan of the alternate version...and a huge fan of this one too!!  Thank you for sharing your creatively!!!

"To Leave and Come Back is a constellation of songs about the many facets of love and its misplacement, solitude, naivete and hubris, but most importantly the absurd ways that they reflect upon and refract each other while the world spins endlessly. These songs span the course of many relationships, homes, jobs; in some ways, each song was almost written by an entirely different person than the last. However, each is an integral part of the story, and come together to form an abstract yet (hopefully) poignant picture of me, in my world." - @onplanets

✧ Lyrics
she speaks in acronym,
been sighing at the top of her lungs
she’s so convincing when she laughs and leads it on

and I’ve been rinsing off
all the colours of a love
that I picked up when I was certain I would never come undone

and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

it was a long time coming
still not long enough
but reticent as ever, she watched me come undone
and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

I hope I’ve learnt enough and haven’t fallen off
(I don’t love her)
