never right

Talk Me Down (cover)

La Vie En Rose (cover)

Lyrics by Angel Olsen:

Do you remember the way that it used to be?
I waited for you
And you kept on searching with me
Feeling free
Wanting to see each other all of the time
Those were the days
Nothing to lose and nothing to find
See how you're laughing with those you don't know as well
I hear you saying I'm the one but I wish I could tell
Funny how time can can make you realize and realize
And then realize
But I'll take all of it
Don't want to leave it behind
I'll take all of it
If it's only real in my mind
Real in my mind
Real in my mind
Will you ever
Will you ever know the same love that I've known?
Will you ever
Will you ever know the same love that I've known?
Will you ever
Will you ever know the same love that I've known?
Love you, love you, love you,
Even if it's all of my own
All of my own
Do you remember the way that it used to be?
I waited for you
And you kept on searching with me
Feeling free
Wanting to see each other all of the time
Those were the days
Nothing to lose and nothing to find

Those Were The Days (cover)

it was well past three
when I found out you lied
had I not been so drunk
maybe I wouldn’t have cried
but I did and they said
“oh sweet girl don’t you cry
for a doll with no head
there’s no need for goodbyes”

have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
cause you’re not gonna change and I’m going insane

I went in with the waves
bid farewell to my pride
I resigned to the flood
let it drown out my mind
by the time my eyes dried
my whole being was sore
and I knew then
I won’t cry for you anymore

it’s not worth all this heart
all this soul all this time
when lovers and givers
have queued up in line
they say I am lovely
they say I’m enough
so what’s up with you?
why don’t you say that stuff?

have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
cause you’re not gonna change and I’m going insane

I use all of my strength
to resist every urge
to pull you in close
or to tell you I’m hurt.
and I hope for the best,
think this could be the day
I stop getting tangled in looks on your face


a bit like a bite from
an apple gone bad
the sweetness I longed for
don’t taste like I planned
and a worm pokes his head 
from the bite that I took
says “lady next time maybe 
get a closer look
next time read the signs 
I put up on the skin
the bruises and spots 
weren’t to draw people in”

have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
you’re not gonna change and I’m going insane

Nothing to Gain

down comes the rain.
I’ve planted seeds but they won’t grow
going insane 
cause I have waited all summer long
I’m starting to think
that the ground is gonna win
it’s just too tough to loosen
won’t let no water in

but how I wish and I pray
to check my garden one day
find an Orange Rose has bloomed 
and know that I’ll be okay

my research said
if I stay patient and stay strong
I can make a dent
I can help this move along
but I’m starting to fear 
I might throw the towel in
as higher my hopes climb 
the branches might begin to bend
(bend or break)

but how I wish and I pray
to check my garden one day
find an Orange Rose has bloomed
and know that I’ll be okay
(I’ll be ok)

Orange Rose

["I'm gonna grow up tomorrow."
"you're gonna grow?"
"yeah. when I get my birthday"]

I made a home for my baby,
the best that I could anyway.
dropped everything, gave her my life,
and made a few mistakes. 

but when she cried I would hold her,
no matter how big she grew.
I told her she’d always have me around
––the least that I could do.
least that I could do for you.
she told me she loved me
every time we said goodbye
with both of her hands on my face
and a smile in her eyes. 
that smile.

["hey this is perfect."]

she’ll always be my baby, 
though it won’t be the same, I know.
'cause everything I’d like to change
is out of my control.

so I’m letting go of my baby, 
but I will still watch her grow.
And I’ll wish that mine could be the hand––
the hand that she will hold 
when she’s scared or she’s angry,
or when she can’t sleep in the night. 

I’m letting go of my baby;
she’s not mine to keep anyway.
I let go of my baby;
she’s not mine to keep anyway.

she’s not mine to keep anyway. 
she’s not mine to keep anyway.
anyway.

I’m letting go of my baby.
I’m letting go of my baby.

["and that's it? then you'll be grown up?
"yeah!"
"kind of like stepping over a line.."
"wow."]
