Gothic Babe Tendencies (feat. Julia Wolf)

You have to wait for the drums to come in

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 year to me

Got me learnin' all the words to his favorite songs

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?

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

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?

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

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?

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, run (run)

I didn't run, run, run, run, run
