Oh look it's my bed again
My room ain't been cleaned since the last time
You were in town my friend
You still got some socks tangled up in the sheets down at the end
Oh look it's my broken heart
Guess we both thought it was on the mend
But it takes more than time apart
For a fool to understand it's the end
Oh look it's a starry night
Hope I get a chance to look up
The perfect canopy for a fight
The stillness is an indifference that I like
But hey the point is this
Turns out I still need you around
Hey the point is this
I still need you to make me, the me, that I want to be
So come on back with my old routine
I still need a stand to place my hat on
Lend me a nicotine
And call me each hour and ask me when I'll be home
Send me back my old high esteem
I don't think you meant to take it with you
Got caught in your makeup bag
On account of how quickly you left town last time
And don't misread my imprecision with words
Don't you know when I say, "Hey girl"
What I mean is I love you
Text me my final regret
Every morning at 9 so I'll wake to it and never forget
But hey the point is this
Turns out I still need you around
Hey the point is this
I still need you to make me the me that I like to be
And I broke all of my dishes
And forgot what a kiss is
And the only touch I've known is a touch of grey
And the laundry still needs doing
And the toothpaste is open
And the lightbulbs are all burned out
And my fridge just has ketchup
My lawn needs a haircut
And I'm cracking my first beer by 3 every day
Maybe shaking just a little of the country dust off for this album, but still with the on-the-nose, clever, relatable lyrics, this is Esther’s most innovative album yet
P.S. really missin ol’ Matt Bell on the lapsteel James Champion
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead.
