lyrics

The fog over Newark holds hands with the frosting
of winter that lingers and sings through my lips
the car glides so harshly to punish the pavement
mocking The Garden State
Now I see your icy eyes, they are fixed
stiff balloons in your head betwixt
the pillow and my bony hips
you can find me out in a towel
with my eyebrows furrowed and shivering
thinking, "My god, I am spread so terribly thin"
The driver is speeding
New Jersey is bleeding
but all I can see are daydreams of what you'll be
your nostrils are flaring
your wild eyes are blaring
and Br'er is staring at you
your music is covering my eyes like a child would
and watery faces are swimming and drowning
your features are branded in my state of static
as you melodramatically pour into me
Now I see your thoughts written across your cheeks
your eyes darting all around the street
escape routes in every nook and cranny
you can find me under a towel
with my eyebrows furrowed and shivering
thinking, "My god, I am spread so terribly thin"

such a fun album that feels so comfortable and relatable. I specifically like the intro to this song because I take it as a positive reminder that women are sensual and fun but also strong, independent, and free haha Baylee Nguyen
