about
The song is about my grandmother, bowls of instant coffee, menacing swans, loving real and silly things.
It's a single from the forthcoming HOW (VMP Edition) record, out Nov 17th.
lyrics
I can still be
that kid
let me hug you like that
pull the ribbon back
boy in bows
is that what my cavity shows?
through three holes
in a video
I’m starting to feel
how foolish I’ve been
as if it out slips and goes
all the life to live in
let me be that kid
but even that sounds wrong, doesn’t it?
a completely normal reflex
oh try and describe it
a decade crisis
I want to feed stale bread to swans
when love was a daydream in her lawn
I want bowls of coffee instant
know my heart this very instant
I’m starting to feel
how foolish I’ve been
when my grandmother took my hand
out on the streets of Compiegne
it was a contact tracing
of what is life gracing
oh to be that kid
