lyrics

i am not a great explorer
maybe that's why i never try to find you
i like my room & it's predictable doom
maybe that's why i let you shimmer on only as a mirage

it's hard on you and it's hard on me
when you walk into the gas station i work at with the posture of a swan
as if it hasn't been 8 years since we wrestled on your lawn
it's hard on you and it's hard on me

you stand up straight in all my lopsided dreams
on the ski lift you said you were leaving me
i sulked back to our rented room and ate up pages of the bible
trying to prove i was holy too

it's hard on you and it's hard on me
on the bed next to you, you're on the phone with your mom
& i can't help but smile as you try to explain a koan
it's hard on you and it's hard on me

are we just going to pretend we're not awake in the same dream?
you can find me in the hotel lobby seymour glass-ing
with a scratched losing lotto ticket as a book mark for the dhammapada
have you cracked the code?
well, you know, i always thought you were a bodhisattva

it's hard on you and it's hard on me
ahh ah

the woods
by metagirl

i've said this to her before, but metagirl's music is cinematic, genuine, and gentle while also always being irresistibly catchy. i am always looking out for what Elora is going to do next. Ditch Lily

Beautiful songs that are short and sweet. This EP has a very calming sound, perfect for destressing. This, tied with Table for One by Aro, is my favorite bedroom pop record. A.T.L
