This song reminds me of that brief moment at the end of a cool spring day, just as the sun passes over the horizon but the sky is still gloomy blue. The chilly wind blowing through your hair, the smell of leftover barbeque smoke of dinners had, the sound of leaves rustling, the warmth of porch lights touching your skin, as you make your way home. I want to live in this moment forever.
Verse
I carry myself and the weight of the world,
I learned while young to play dumb and
cypher scriptures of duplicitous tongue,
I have my heart on your screen
I'm a book you can read
but no one gets a copy, of me
prechorus
I hate how your sad eyes cut right to my bones,
I won't cave, I won't cave, I cave everytime,
Chorus
I can walk away from,
the fire I started,
Like it never happened
We touched "so long"
My feelings ran over,
The sides of your cup,
It's never too late,
For you to come,
and say that you're sorry,
You've been so bad,
What have you done?
Can we start it over?
verse 2
You reach out to me as if everything's fine, not fine, not fine, can you tell at all?
I burned down the bridge, you swam the river, and somehow i'm not surprised,
How dare you act like you know me, how dare you act like it's fine,
prechorus
how dare, how dare, how dare, the way you treat me got me
thinking I should make you beg, so beg to me.
Chorus
I can walk away from,
the fire I started,
Like it never happened
We touched "so long"
My feelings ran over,
The sides of your cup,
It's never too late,
For you to come,
and say you're sorry,
You've been so bad,
What have you done?
Can we start it over?

I carry myself and the weight of the world,

A ’90s goth cult classic gets a vinyl reissue, its lush synths and melancholy melodies still rapturous and bewitching. A triumph. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 19, 2020
