lyrics:

seeing you again
i wanna hear you breathe to copy it
i’m stuck from the waist down
my chest is pounding and there’s no stopping it
keep my heart in your chokehold
i can take it if i can be in your arms
clinging onto delusions
cause i know i’ll never have your heart

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

you don’t have to tell me
tell me that i'm overthinking it
why don’t you save me from my mind
before i sink in it
never been superstitious
but cupid’s arrow is killing me from within
never been too religious
but i'll pray every night you let me in

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

and i know
when my peripheral catches your eye from a mile away
i’ll keep my head down, my mouth shut
and turn the other way
and i know
girl i know my worth
and i don’t deserve your heart
but i can take it if you want me to

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
(i can take it baby)
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
(never about me and you)
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
(rip it from my rib cage baby)
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

your heart

Cold Feet

Hanging

The two-piece indie-rock outfit Old Mervs, from Kojonup, WA return with their first new single of 2023, 'Sweetheart' and the first glimpse at the band's next era. Taking cues from blissed-out Californian faves Sunroom to the classic indie feels of fellow Aussies DMA's,
'Sweetheart' was born out of a writing trip the band took in Denmark, WA.
With no pressure or deadlines hanging over their heads, the band put their minds to sculpting their next batch of music. 'Sweetheart' emerged from a few different song ideas that would then be stitched together alongside producer Dave Parkin at Black Bird Studios to create the final cut. Lyrically, it takes aim at those friends that constantly flake on plans, while also acknowledging that we all do that sometimes.
Tight, propulsive, and ever so fun, 'Sweetheart' feels like a classic Mervs cut, but powered by a new focus and intention. The first of much more to come, 'Sweetheart' is another home run from one of the country's fastest rising bands.
"This track came from a writing session we did on the south coast of
WA last summer." says vocalist/guitarist David House. "We wanted some more fast-paced singalong styled songs for our live set, so whilst writing we were trying to imagine how it would sit in a live show. It definitely feels like a very classic old Mervs sounding track and that's intentional. Crunchy guitars and big choruses are too much fun to be missing from our catalogue."
