'alder lake' is a highly charged emotional journey within itself. Capelle explains, “alder lake was written during a time in which I felt as if I was existing as a shell of a person. I was lost. I leaned heavily on self-destructive tendencies in an effort to find myself again. I needed to go back to where I felt like myself. Back to where I was happy. Alder Lake is a real place, a truly magical getaway that my family built in the woods on a river in Wisconsin. It’s home to some of my fondest lifelong memories, including skinny dipping with my best friends when we were 16. So this song, at its core, is about using little moments frozen in time to let go of past mistakes, and find fulfillment in the present.” An energetic, driving alternative rock song, alder lake kicks off an exciting new era for Leah Capelle, as the lead single to her full length LP slated for release March 2020. (Please note: accompanying lyric video officially drops via The Orchard August 2, 2019.)

Lyrics:
Hollow on the inside, and I can’t find my appetite
Iron grip on my lungs, so I don’t sleep so well at night
Masochist by nature, and I am stressed out all the time
But you know me, I’ll take whatever just to pretend I’m fine

When we got naked at Alder Lake, the dirt in our toes
And then catapulted down the bank, that moment froze
and I thought – if I could find this happiness in all of my days
well then, this could all mean so much more than just getting paid
because we got naked at Alder Lake, we got naked at Alder Lake

Oh no, it’s 3 again, and I just climbed out of a hole
Comparing my complexion, the angle of my nose
Masochist by nature, and I am stressed out all the time
But you know me, I’ll take whatever just to pretend I’m fine

When we got naked at Alder Lake, the dirt in our toes
And then catapulted down the bank, that moment froze
and I thought - if I could find this happiness in all of my days
well then, this could all mean so much more than just getting paid
because we got naked at Alder Lake, we got naked at Alder Lake

Oo

When we got naked at Alder Lake, the dirt in our toes
And then catapulted down the bank, that moment froze
and I thought - if I could find this happiness in all of my days
well then, this could all mean so much more than just getting paid
because we got naked at Alder Lake, we got naked at Alder Lake

Lyrics:
All the plants are dying, I cannot let them grow
‘Cause they remind me that you said you had to go
Don’t you think it’s funny that I haven’t left the house 
Though this place is soaked in memories 
and I cannot get them out?

I just called to tell you that you’ve been on my mind
That I’m trying to be strong while you’re leaving me behind
But all you had to say was you “need more time
That we cannot be friends, you’re not ready to be fine”

So why is your name still showing up on my phone,
I thought you want to be alone?

I’ll give you what you want
I’ll give you what you want but
You should know me better
You think it won’t hurt
You think this won’t hurt but
You should know me better

Fill up with distractions so you don’t have to feel 
So the life we built together, none of it was real
Push your pain down in a bottle, save it for a night
For when you start to realize that I might have been right

I know this will hit like a shot to the chest 
but you don’t miss me yet

I’ll give you what you want
I’ll give you what you want but
You should know me better
You think it won’t hurt
You think this won’t hurt but
You should know me better
Don’t try to act like this is not a death
I’m losing track of how this’ll end
I’ll give you what you want
I’ll give you what you want but
You should know me better

I let this go too far
The distance in who we are
You should know me
You should know me
I put you down, ran my mouth
Only to see it now
You don’t know me
I don’t know you
You should know me
You should know me

I’ll give you what you want
I’ll give you what you want but
You should know me better
You think it won’t hurt
You think this won’t hurt but
You should know me better
Don’t try to act like this is not a death
I’m losing track of how this’ll end
I’ll give you what you want
I’ll give you what you want but
You should know me better

About this song:
"know me better" is a break-up song for the hurting, for those trying to put the pieces back together, and for those who might need to just dance-cry the pain away.

Lyrics:
I can feel his hands in my
Back pockets as we’re standing 
Too close and the lights are flashin' on me

The way he looks over his glasses
Makes me want something to happen
And I want to tell him - is that wrong of me?

I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I want him to be what I wanted
Is that bad?
I want him to be what I want him to

He puts his fingers 'round my throat and 
as we’re kissing I can tell that
I’m gonna let him take me home this time

And I just can’t explain it -
He’s a mess, and he is tainted
But I want to fix him, is that wrong of me?

I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I want him to be what I wanted
Is that bad?
I want him to be what I want him to

Did I hurt you?
You know I didn’t mean it
Did I hurt you
On accident?
Did I hurt you?
You know I didn’t mean it
Did I hurt you
On accident?

I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I wanted to be what he wanted
Oh I did
I want him to be what I wanted
Is that bad?
I want him to be what I want him to

Did I hurt you?
You know I didn’t mean it
Did I hurt you
On accident?
Did I hurt you?
You know I didn’t mean it
Did I hurt you

On accident?
