[Intro: Julia Wolf]
You have to wait for
the drums to come in
[Verse 1: Julia Wolf]
I smoked my first cigarette,
my cowboy killer
With a few close friends,
so cold my hands went numb
One girl, she talked about
her boyfriend like a god
He had a dirty mouth,
and we all ate it up
And there’s someone
new I been seein’
That shows me what
I’ve been missin’
I never had that
high school love
But this tastes
like sophomore
[Chorus: Julia Wolf]
But I got gothic babe
tendencies, I always
choose the dark
I aim for the pain
and say, “This is
just for fun”
Oh-oh, I got
gothic babe
tendencies,
I always choose
the dark
But what if I
surrendered to the sun?
[Verse 2: Julia Wolf]
The woods back in my hometown
And Friday night Blockbuster
countdowns
How I’d choose the long way
home to pass the beach
Wish you’d ask that kind of question
The kind that digs for somethin’ hidden
But I’m not sure you’d like to know
that side of me
Then you text me from a nightclub
You’re out tonight like I was
Did you find a new plus one?
Young Achilles, you got options
Maybe I should just fuck off
And let go (Go, go, go, go)
of the wheel for once
[Chorus: Julia Wolf]
But I got gothic babe
tendencies, I always
choose the dark
I avoid the pain
and say, “This is
just for fun”
Oh-oh, I’ve got
gothic babe tendencies,
I always choose the dark
But what if I surrendered
to the sun?
year to me
Got me learnin’
all the words to
[Verse 3: blackbear]
Uh-uh, yeah-yeah,
we got matchin’ scars
The kind that you pick
and scratch, and they
stay there for life
You were in my arms
I’m left with this
lonely heart and
movies in my mind
Everything you said
is messin’ with my
head, I’m goin’ crazy
I don’t understand, but
I can’t just pretend you
don’t sedate me
Maybe I feel like I don’t
deserve your love
But you could save me from
this self-sabotage
I’m havin’ panic attacks now,
I need alprazolam
I’m havin’ withdrawals,
I don’t know who I am
I was never the same after
I got sober from you, yeah
Now it’s over for you, and
it’s over for me
Why do these words hurt so deeply?
You were my favorite sunburn,
I would like to save for another day
[Chorus: Julia Wolf & blackbear]
But, I got gothic babe tendencies,
I always choose the dark
I avoid the pain and say,
“This is just for fun”
Oh-oh, I got gothic babe
tendencies, I always choose the dark
But what if I surrendered to the sun?
[Post-Chorus: Julia Wolf]
And I didn’t run, run, run, run, run
I didn’t run, run, run, run, run
And I didn’t run, run, run, run,
[Instrumental Outro]run (Run)
I didn’t run, run, run, run, run
