Snail Mail - Valentine Lyrics

Snail Mail Lyrics

"Valentine"

Let's go be alone
Where no one can see us, honey
Careful in that room
Those parasitic cameras, don't they stop to stare at you?

Can't love for us both
You've gotta live and I gotta go
As long as it's us two
Fuck being remembered, I think I was made for you

So why'd you wanna erase me, darling valentine?
You'll always know where to find me when you change your mind

I'd hate to picture someone with you
I lay down and start to cry
You won't believe what just two months do
I'm older now, believe me, I adore you

So why'd you wanna erase me, darling valentine?
You'll always know where to find me when you change your mind
So why'd you wanna erase me, darling valentine?

Now I can't hate you
I ruined me for you
Blame me if you need to
But I adore you
I adore you
I adore you
I adore you

"Valentine" is the title track off of Snail Mail's 2021 album of the same title. The song and its video, directed by Josh Coll, were released on the 15th of September, 2021. Lindsey Jordan explained, "I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y'all. Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!"

Speaking about the visuals for this track, Lindsey Jordan told, "It was so rewarding concocting this video alongside the brilliant Josh Coll! Watching a few perverse images in my head metamorphose into this gorgeous storyline and eventually into a tangible visual was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We connected over a mutual interest in the intersection between terror and devastating beauty. But also Tim and Eric and watered down ginger ale, which I had to drink a shocking amount of in those drink-bombing scenes."
