"Bus Back To Richmond" lyrics
"Bus Back To Richmond"
I held your hand on the bus back to Richmond
From New York on New Year's Day
Last night, we forgot the champagne
So you drank a 40 and bought me a nasty rosé
We watched the ball drop from Brooklyn
The East River shining a sloppy display
Watercolor fireworks, far away
Midnight hit, and we didn't kiss
I kissed Mackenzie and Carson and tried not to look in your eyes
Your hopes were high, and I hate
Falling short
Back at the flat of your friend
A studio loft by the Williamsburg Bridge
We danced ourselves clean, got more drunk than we planned
Eight of us left to one bed and the floor and the futon
That sunk in the middle, and so we were closer than ever
Foreheads aligned, your hand in my hair
Promising things, I was so unprepared
Just waiting for you to lose steam, but it seemed
You were fighting for your life
You wanted to see what you always believed
About me
You said, "Please give me a chance"
You didn't know that I already had

Phoebe Bridgers - "Chelsea" For a chemical imbalance, you sure know how to ride a train
Your revolution is a deathbed, and the music is your maid
When someone comes a knocking with a needle on a tray
Only your lonesome lies...
Japanese Breakfast - "Posing For Cars" Woke from a dream in which you'd left me
Posing for cars on the American stoop
Don't make me beg you just 'cause you can
I'm just a woman with a loneliness
I'm just a woman with needs
And how could...
Miya Folick - "Fist" I've been cooking dinner, hoping you'll forgive me
For not wanting to swallow you
You feign no offence and then you give me my space
Oh how I hate when you follow through
You've been losing weight...
Bess Atwell - "Anything You Ask" I was lonely with you today
But you could always convince me to stay
You spend so much time looking in my eyes
You could almost convince me
That you know what I'm like
Heaven's not a place in the sky...
Katie Gavin - "Keep Walking" I saw your mom in my dream
She called me an asshole and I felt released
And out of the blue came a new clarity
I've done to you all that you've done to me
What a relief
To know that some of this was...
