"Long Sleeves" lyrics

"Long Sleeves"

Packing while you're asleep
You were the catalyst
I don't know what it is about how you breathe
About how you breathe

I want to be alone
Hate it that no one knows, you're good to everyone
All them but me
All them but me

And if you hear me leaving in the morning
Could you just pretend that it was only wind?

'Cause I can't love you even if I want to
Got a lot to work through
You don't know where I've been

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming

Say something sweet to me
It never meant a thing
Used to the turbulence
I wore long sleeves
I wore long sleeves

Fought till you tethered me
Swept under surfaces
Never enough of it
You didn't think
You didn't think

If you hear me leaving in the morning
Could you please pretend that it was only wind?

'Cause I can't love you even if I want to
Got a lot to work through
You don't know where I've been

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming

Coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down

Coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming

Coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down

Gracie Abrams stated about "Long Sleeves", "I've been trying to write this song for a really long time. I'm thinking of all of you and your families. I hope you're safe and healthy."
This song is the first taste of Gracie Abrams' debut album. She posted the following message on Twitter on the 20th of May 2020, "'Long Sleeves' is a piece of my first project. The project is called 'Minor' and it's coming out June 16th. I hope you're all safe and healthy."
The explanation of this track on Gracie Abrams' Facebook page says, "I'd been trying to write this song since I was 14 and the fact that it exists now feels weird and kind of unsettling but it also feels like the most intense and rewarding closure I've ever known. Blake Slatkin and Rob Moose gave this song life and Eric Timothy Carlson made the video of my literal dreams."
