SUGARCOATED (ft. Anna Sophia)

IF I DON'T TEXT YOU FIRST

sarah hemi - sweet talker ft. sora.wav

V1:
You never listened to my playlist did you?
I sent a couple weeks ago (goodbye)
My blank wrists can’t tell time, I still waitlist, 
Maybe I’m a fool, or maybe I’m doomed 

CH1:
All I know is that it’s you I’m waiting for
see your eyes when I close mine
think about you all the time
And all I know is when you’re close I start to choke
But down low you don’t love me, it’s fine 

V2:
I’m lying through my teeth, 
That you would ever be down with me,
Ain’t supposed to feel like a ghost,
But when you’re here that’s how it seems
Get emotional when I talk,
I did my best to show my heart,
And I know that you wouldn’t love me,
But I told you that you were lovely

PRE:
Take me high,
Don’t let my mind
wander all night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can I go back in to see you
Give you all my love so you feel it
This is how I show what you are to me, yeah,
But I know you won’t ever see it

CH 2: 
All I know is that it’s you I’m waiting for
see your eyes when I close mine
think about you all the time
and all I know is when you’re close I start to choke
But down low you don’t love me, it’s fine 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
All I know is that it’s you I’m waiting for
see your eyes when I close mine
think about you all the time
and all I know is when you’re close I start to choke
But down low you don’t love me, it’s fine 

OUTRO:
I start to choke when I’m with u
I always feel like I miss you
never felt this without you
but It’s like,
Will you love me like I do?
really feels like there’s something
and I know it’s like, all of these feelings are wasted yeah yeah

On the surface, "soju" might be best described to have an upbeat pop-centric sound, but the song itself is about dealing with death and reflecting on the notion that life sometimes feels like random moments in time that are out of your control. For most people, they wouldn’t know that I wrote “soju” from the perspective of his late grandfather and that 2021 was the year of loss for him.

The first verse and chorus of “soju” was written about the aftermath of loss and grief. We tend to feel completely helpless and achingly wish for one more moment with our loved ones, as we are overwhelmed by the struggle to go on through life feeling like the meaning is lost. Most of the lyrics in the first verse and chorus are reflections on how hopeless life feels when you lose someone, and how much the sky feels like it is falling in the wake of their death. Simply put, life becomes monochromatic.

The second half of the second verse is all about that idea to not lose love when you have lost a loved one, and rather to use the pain you experienced that has undoubtedly changed you - to love even deeper. Pain is more relatable to people than success; than happiness; than anything else we often experience. Our lives more often than not are our symbols of pain that we have synthesized through our coping methods into how we then choose to perceive the world. At its worst, we let it consume us and we create insecurities that eat us alive. At its best, our pain becomes lessons of growth and empathy that we can use to understand why it is so goddamn hard for all of us to be alive and human.

The takeaway message of the song? Make sure you find someone that you can give your all to, and then love them in your every waking moment - until their final breath. That's what the bridge of “soju” is all about. How often can we regret the time we no longer have with someone who is gone? Savor every moment you get with someone who loves you, exist with them, and be with them. And though I hope that none of you will ever have to go on living without someone you love, knowing you were truly with them - and they were with you - is enough.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Staring out the window
Reaching for a North Star
Waiting Just to wake up
From this nightmare
Where you could be right back in my arms

Dancing to the limbo
Stuck here in the middle
You Tell me that it’s simple 
But I Could Paint a thousand 
Different pictures of what is wrong

Chorus
But If we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 
Oh but you fill me up 
And I can feel it now

Verse 2
She said “life is just a symbol, 
For the pain that you can get through
Like A camel through the needle,
Everyday people are just a thousand
Versions of who they were

So love me like we’re equal
Cause if there is no sequel
I rather live in peaceful 
Understanding that we believed
Our every single words

Chorus
And if we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 

And if we burned these blocks down
A couple miles
We could build them Up
Until the sky was ours

Bridge
Cause I’ve lived, I lived
One hundred years of solitude, with you
And never questioned what gives, what gives
Anyone the right to, right to
Believe these superstitions 
Outside of human intuition?
‘Cause Tonight, its enough for me to know 
That you and I exist inside this paradise

Chorus
And if we turn the clocks Back 
A Couple Dials
We should throw them out 
Because time ain’t ours 

And if we burned these blocks down
A Couple miles
We could build them Up
Until the sky was ours

happy last day of summer <3

Lyrics
I saw you walking in the street one day
It was a Sunday
You had flowers in your hair
And you were dancing with your headphones on
Didn’t care that everyone was watching
You were moving to the beat
Cars were swerving in the street
Just to get a glimpse of you
And you were posing for them
Yeah, you were struttin’ for them
Cause you know just what you do

So if I never told you baby
You should know I’m going crazy
I can’t help myself anymore
Cause I’ve been looking for the one
And now I think I found you love
Cause things have never been this good before
Cause you’re dancing in the corner
You’re dancing how you wanna
And I can’t help but smile
And then I start to tap my feet
And babe we’re moving to the beat
Summer nights with you and I

I never thought I would’ve felt that love
I was dreaming of
But my head is over heels and now you got me
And I just can’t breathe with you here babe
You should know
You can tell me how you feel
Pour your heart out if it’s real
We can dance til’ 3 in the morning
And I don’t wanna pretend like I just wanna be friends
So if I’m being honest, oh

So if I never told you baby
You should know I’m going crazy
I can’t help myself anymore
Cause I’ve been looking for the one
And now I think I found you love
Cause things have never been this good before
Cause you’re dancing in the corner
You’re dancing how you wanna
And I can’t help but smile
And then I start to tap my feet
And babe we’re moving to the beat
Summer nights with you and I

But honestly it’s such a shame
When my friends are getting in the way
But I just don’t know what to say
Cause it’s hard for me to walk away
Yea honestly it’s such a shame
When my friends are getting in the way
But I just don’t know what to say
Cause it’s hard for me to walk away

So if I never told you baby
You should know I’m going crazy
I can’t help myself anymore
Cause I’ve been looking for the one
And now I think I found you love
Cause things have never been this good before
Cause you’re dancing in the corner
You’re dancing how you wanna
And I can’t help but smile
And then I start to tap my feet
And babe we’re moving to the beat
Summer nights with you and I
