audiotool awards 2021 track of the year! :)

paper trail

citysoul

it could be so simple
if everything turns out fine
but there is nothing left

why do i fuck myself over like this?
does it make me feel safe?
what am i afraid of?
why can’t i fix what i wanted to fix?
why can’t i do it all over again?
cuz i’d do it the same way

i lost my head
you know what i mean?
spent all this time wishing i was
someone else
who could see me differently
cuz it feels like you’d be fine without me
but i don’t mind
if you need space and time-
i want nothing more
than to be alone
before it seems like it’s too late
can you tell me something i don’t know

so why do i fuck myself over like this?
does it make me feel safe?
what am i afraid of?
why can’t i fix what i wanted to fix?
why can’t i do it all over again?
cuz i’d do it the same way

undone

woke up this morning with a sore throat
it’s not that bad just thought i’d tell ya
i’ll be back on my feet soon

just a little bit under the weather
whether we make it or not, we’ll be together

when i hold you close remember
don’t you know we’ll soon be better?
i’ll be back on my feet soon

woke up this morning with a broken heart
there’s nothing worse than being torn apart
when it’s over i know i’ll be fine

sore throat

from across the room you smiled
it wasn’t much until i noticed how the room began to swirl
i’m not prepared to meet another pretty girl
but still i’m scared to navigate this world alone

pretty soon you’re by my side
the sounds around us they subside until it’s only me and you
making small talk about tomorrow’s tropical storm
and how the nights stay awfully cold when the weather’s warm

if first impressions never last
why do i seem to care so much?
am i regressing to the past–
is that what i’m so afraid of?
i thought you’d never ask;
from way out here it don’t look like much
we’ll get there all the same
regardless of this no show hurricane

from across the room i smiled
it wasn’t much until i saw the way your eyes grew brighter still
oh i never thought i’d say these words so soon
but i’m finally back to singing happy tunes

if first impressions never last
why do i seem to care so much?
am i regressing to the past–
is that what i’m so afraid of?
i thought you’d never ask;
from way out here it don’t look like much
we’ll get there all the same
regardless of this no show hurricane
