about
When we were writing this song we wanted it to feel almost like two songs stuck together - section A, where you are still grieving the loss of a big love, leads to section B, where you have moved on and left the pain they caused you behind. You have changed for the better, and they were wrong to never get the chance to see who you would become. This song came together almost effortlessly - Elias and I were working off of an initial guitar riff I had (the first riff in the song) and came up with the other two sections within a couple of hours. We sent it to Sarah and she sent back the majority of the vocal melodies and lyrics the next day. It was a true and heartfelt collaboration.
lyrics
Smoke in the House:
It brings me down when you get in my head
It brings me down when you get in my head
Sitting on the couch by every little word you said
I’m not alone when you get in my head
I wrote this song with the last of your pen
From the hotel where you were fired again
Cuz you were always late – kept sleeping til eleven am
It brings me down that you’re stuck in my head
You can smoke in the back,
Smoke in the house --
Do it with them
Do it yourself
Cause I’m not there to put it out
Have a pack for the day
As you pack up my clothes
Brosé le dents so your mom doesn’t know
I’m sorry I took it out on myself
I bring you up like im picking a scar
So I take a pill to get out of the dark
You told me all the stories you won’t tell all your friends at the bar
It brings me down just to know who you are
You can smoke in the back,
Smoke in the house --
Do it with them
Do it yourself
Cause I’m not there to put it out
Have a pack for the day
As you pack up my clothes
Brosé le dents so your mom doesn’t know
I’m not gonna take it out on myself
I’ll get drunk on songs my sister loves
I tried to write one
About the dream with my dad
You’re on his girlfriend’s lawn --
The perfect setting for my conditional love song
I won’t let me down,
So I’ll sing it now.
Jack says I’m changing,
It’s not just the lexapro:
I stopped crying on zoom calls and
dating scorpios.
I know in my letter
I said I’d see you again
But, oh, you let me down.
Glad you let me down.
Bet you’d like me now.
