why dont we talk anymore

track 2

I'm in love with you
more than summer and afternoons

pictures in the same place
whats it like when you come home to remember
picture of the same place
I thought I left safe but I came back dismembered

I don't know where I belong anymore
I don't know what's going on
where I come from
where I belong

I'm in love with you
more than summer and afternoons
I belong to you

where is all the dancing 
maybe later theres no snow in december
same food on the same plates
its hard to come back never thought to remember
i dont know where i belong anymore
i dont know whats going on
where i come from
where i belong

“Poster Boy” is a confessional song about Scott’s experience overseeing music at his church where he was often revered to a point of unease. A lofty position he’s never been comfortable or happy being in. “People tend to put you on a pedestal when you hold that kind of position,” Scott explains. “I was constantly treated like I could do no wrong, and that’s a dangerous place to be. I felt like I had to play a role and hide my flaws, and so it was hard to be myself. ‘Poster Boy’ calls out that unhealthy expectation of perfection, whether self-imposed or brought on by others. It’s meant to give the listener permission to be human, since mistakes are inevitable for us all.”

"Poster Boy" follows the overwhelming response to Vân Scott's debut singles/videos, "Tough Love" and "Die Young," released in the fall of 2019. His Kickstarter-funded debut album is due out in 2021!

"Poster Boy" lyrics:
I am not a mascot for anyone 
Never asked to be one
Missing out on all the fun
People got me pegged and pigeonholed
Trying to make me fit the mold
Doing everything I'm told

I'm not good at doing everything I'm told

I'm not a poster boy
Whether you like it or not
You can't pin me on the wall
Not a poster boy
There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal

Oh, I stand for something
I can't stand for nothing

Never chose to have a halo on my head
I'd rather wear my hat instead
Keep my face from turning red
But now you know, if you didn't already guess
Didn't mean to false impress
My life is still a total mess

They want a pretty face
For everyone to see, oh
That's exactly how they'll make a monster out of me

I'm not a poster boy
Whether you like it or not
You can't pin me on the wall
Not a poster boy
There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal

Oh, I stand for something
I can't stand for nothing
I'm just not a poster boy

They want a pretty face
For everyone to see, oh
That's exactly how they'll make a monster out of me

I'm not a poster boy
Whether you like it or not
You can't pin me on the wall
Not a poster boy
There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal

Oh, I stand for something
I can't stand for nothing
Oh, I stand for something
I can't stand for nothing

Poster Boy - Single

Poster Boy

TREAT ME LIKE THE ONE YOU WANT 
THOUGH I KNOW YOU'RE COMING UP FOR AIR IS ALL 
AND I WON'T LET THEM SEE YOU 
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN 

TREAT ME LIKE THE ONE YOU WANT 
THOUGH I KNOW YOU'RE COMING UP FOR AIR IS ALL 
AND I WON'T LET THEM SEE YOU 
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN 

THE TREES ARE DYING PRETTIER THAN WE DO 
I'VE BEEN DIGGING DOWN YOUR THROAT TO FIND THE WORDS BEFORE YOU CHOKE 
BEFORE YOU CHOKE 

I DON'T WANNA FIGHT IT 
WHEN I DON'T KNOW HOW 
I ONLY WANNA SAVE YOU 
FOR NOW 

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING MOTHER 
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING FATHER 
I WENT AND FOUND THE BEAUTY FOR YOU 

IF I GAVE YOU ALL 
I GAVE YOU 
ALL YOU ASKED OF ME 

NOW YOU'RE WANTING MORE 
WELL GO ON 
TAKE MY EVERYTHING 

I HAVEN'T BEEN ALONE ENOUGH TO QUESTION 
THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME 

I DON'T WANNA FIGHT IT 
WHEN I DON'T KNOW HOW 
I ONLY WANNA SAVE YOU 

I DON'T WANNA FIGHT IT 
WHEN I DON’T KNOW HOW 
I ONLY WANNA SAVE YOU 
FOR NOW 

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING MOTHER 
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING FATHER 
I WENT AND FOUND THE BEAUTY FOR YOU 

ARE WE FAR 
NOT FAR 
FROM HURTING AGAIN 

IS IT TIME 
NO TIME 
TO TAKE TIME 

ARE WE FAR 
NOT FAR 
FROM HURTING AGAIN 

IS IT TIME 
NO TIME 
TO TAKE TIME 

I KNEW YOU WHEN YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
I KNEW YOU WHEN YOU OUGHT TO KNOW 
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW 
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW 
BY NOW
