"Geyser" lyrics

"Geyser"

You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I've turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come
You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I've turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come

'Cause you're the one I got
You're the one I got
So I'll keep turning down the hands
That beckon me to come

Though I'm a geyser, feel it bubbling from below
Hear it call, hear it call, hear it call to me, constantly
And hear the harmony only when it's harming me
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real enough

But I will be the one you need
The way I can't be without you
I will be the one you need
I just can't be without you

The song was premiered on May 14, 2018, together with music video.
"I think this is one of my vaguest songs," says Mitski about "Geyser". "I wrote it about music or just maybe a music career or an ability to make music. I think as a musician you keep sacrificing other things in your life, sacrificing relationships, sacrificing other opportunites, maybe even your physical or mental health in order to do it because it's not an easy thing to do, and it's not a job that people need you to do. I wrote it over a long period of time thinking about all the things I give up for it, but I gladly give it up because I love it so much and I can't imagine doing anything else."
