Meanwhile, the follow-up single “Sledgehammer” conjures a “dreamy quality” as it nods to “seventies pop love songs.” He also joins forces with Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood on the hypnotic “In One Ear.” Then, there’s “Blood Sugar.” The handclaps and harmonies underscore a serious rumination on his personal struggle with Diabetes. “I was diagnosed with Diabetes since I was 16, and I’ve been dealing with it since then. The song is me talking to my inner demon.”
I Kissed A Girl And She Kissed Me
Kid Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know
Don't start with me baby
I don't know
This time I'm taking a long way home
Don't start with me baby
I don't know
Did anybody reach you the most
yeah
It doesn't take a lot to let you bend the rules
yeah
i get excited when you come round
Won't you try to make it right
i know i've been waiting
Don't start with me baby
I don't know
Don't sympathize lately
let it go
This time my heart can't take much more
Don't start with me baby
I don't know

on Hazy Miss Daisy
Daisy don't be cruel all of this depends on you
Your friends are laughing and you take your time
Lately you lose your way
Never mind what people say
Daisy don't you know it's getting late?
Run from the gallery
Too much going on around
Not sure what's needed she'll do anything
Sleeping in for days
Listen to my pillow say:
"What good could this be doing for anyone?"
Nothing matters at all
Nothing matters
I know the (girl?)
She's mad at the world
Doesn't take a lot to tell her the ugly words won't make it better
I'm not from here
She's calling me dear
(Shouting?) names won't make it better
(?) songs won't change the weather now
Make it better now
