about

A hard-hitting nostalgic bop about young love and reflection through rose coloured glasses.

lyrics

It would give me some peace of mind
To know that you are happy now
So young, elicit with that spark in our eyes
I bet we put on quite the show

Dank cult on a highway served up
Hotel with the stylin' blown up
Falling asleep to the sun on the edge of a knife, did you know I'm the one?
Made it down to purgatory
In the end it's everything you are

Chorus
If I fell into the afterglow
You’d never see me
The way I was before
In a vacant, a vacant, a vacancy

Have you met my friend, she's an icon
I see your friend he's an ex-con
We break it down with the big guns
And you’re no rockstar but you're sure acting like one
So hot it's paralysing
And you like when I get that fight inside me
You know that I started a lie
We couldn’t end cos it’s keeping me high

Poppin’ the M’did you know it’s a ride?
Keeping my cool ‘cause I’m dignified
Lights out and retrace the steps that keep us sane
Writing my name on the wall in the night
Carving my name in your back and it’s fine

Chorus
If I fell into the afterglow
You’d never see me
The way I was before
In a vacant, a vacant, a vacancy

And if we didn’t love the gasoline
Then the fact I’m selfish
Wouldn’t be the thing that burdens, that burdens, that burdens, that burdens me

Have you met my friend, she's an icon
I see your friend he's an ex-con
Dank cult on a highway served up
Hotel with the stylin' blown up
