Lyrics: 

You’re ahead of me every time
My route’s already mapped out in your mind
Seeing patterns in what I do
Before it happens you anticipate my move

Am I so predictable
Such an open book? 

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

I try talking in cryptic clues
Circumlocution just doesn’t work on you
Your intuition won’t let me hide
From your X-ray vision as I try to keep inside 

The soft, the vulnerable 
Undefended heart

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

Under the surface
Under my best disguise 
I am uncovered 
There’s no retreat
From the heat of your eyes

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

It’s a Little Creepy...

Weird

Nothing Strange

kiss me again

Water water

Squeeze

Genre-blending folk band The Rabbitts have been described as "ethereal and understated" on BBC Radio 6 Music. Their unique and colourful sound is characterised by delicate harmonies and an intricately interwoven tapestry of mandolin, guitar, bass, and drums. The Norwich-based band started 2024 with a full-band tour of the UK and have new music on the horizon. This will follow on from their 2023 album 'Love' which was described as "intricate, lush and completely captivating" by Podcart. They are an ever evolving group who are constantly creating and rarely staying still.

Electronica with a soul. Funky darkness with a heavy dose of melody and a film quote or two.
