demo no95: 'late to the party' (Patreon)

HELLO CREATURES OF THE SDC! d'oh - 29 days in the month WIGGED ME OUT and so I forgot to post this yesterday. Ooops. But here we are - day 1 of March and I have a demo to deliver

I've been chipping away at this song over a long while now - this demo doesn't have all of it in there but I'm a bit stuck on the mid8, so you'll hear where I land with that soon. 

This is a song about the traits we inherit from our previous relationships and carry with us along to the next. It's a tongue-in-cheek song about resenting those traits in a new partner but ultimately pushing through to want to make it work. A lot of this upcoming album is about that.. recognising what makes a relationship hard but feeling determined to push through! 

hope you like it- as always you can stream here or download the mp3 for keepsies. 

LYRICS:

see I don’t like to think

about your lovers that came before me

but I know they exist

the ones that got away

I got problems to pick

with all your lovers that came before me

maybe Rachel was right

everybody just walks all over you

and now when we fight

I am on your side!

see I wouldn’t bite or try to change your mind

the room is

falling around me

i’m clinging to car seat

late to the party

let me go back

and shake her hand

I wanna give her my thanks

for the damage she’s done

… ohhhhh! *drop*

(I’m late to the party, I I I)

it’s all part of the drill

got big shoes to fill

I gave your favourite tee shirt

she gave you

** trust issues !!! **

look back at it now

(and) don’t scribble it out

when all the words she said are in your head

she’s in the room somehow

i’ve heard the words she said to you

and now it’s like she’s here somehow

the room is

falling around me

(i’m) clinging to car seat

late to the party

let me go back

and shake her hand

I wanna give her my thanks

for the damage she’s done

she’s just

like I suspected

a stranger but the two of us are connected

let me go back

and shake her hand

I wanna give her my thanks

for the damage she’s done

LOVE YA!

let me know what ya think

love
