lyrics
I don't want you in the morning.
I don't want you in the fall.
I don't want you when the darkness comes to call.
I don't want you on a car trip,
or when I'm walking down the street--
I don't want you.
Yeah, I don't want you.
It's, "I don't want you," on repeat.
When we tell ourselves the things that make it easier,
it's someone talking in our sleep:
they may share our beds, may know our habits, tosses, turns--
only get their wisdom 'tween the sheets.
In the morning, he don't want me,
or when the seasons change to fall.
Darkness knocking, he don't think on me at all.
I am yelling, "I don't want you."
He just lives it day to day.
If you have truths, then they're the things you never say:
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
Originally released in 2005, the Japanese band's hidden gem—a blur of pop, downtempo, and vocal jazz—gets a long-overdue upgrade. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
