Take me out tight
Strung
Up like a kite
Dumb

Wicked and white
Love me in spite
If I betray

All lonely nights
Spent out like a light
With
No kiss goodnight
We never fight
When I'm away

Did your mother
Always seem to hate me
I'm sicker every every day
And now I'm terrified
Of talking to my friends on the
I'm staying stuck
Dreaming of our first born
Your hair color
And popcorn

You never leave
You never leave
You never leave
You leave me in tight
Strung
Up like a kite
Dumb

Wicked and white
Love me in spite
If I betray
All lonely nights
Spent
Out like a light
With
No kiss goodnight
We never fight
When I'm away

Take me up tight
Strung up like a kite
Dumb, wicked, and white
Love me in spite
and if I betray our lonely nights spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
Would we ever fight when I'm away?
Did your mother always seem to hate me?
I'm sicker every day and now I'm terrified of talking to my friends only to stay still
Dreaming of our first born and your hair covered in popcorn
You never leave
You never leave
You never leave
You leave me up tight
Strung up like a kite
Dumb, wicked, and white
Love me in spite
and if I betray our lonely nights spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
Would we ever fight when I'm away?

Take me up tight

[Chorus]
Take me uptight
Strung up like a kite
Dumb, wicked, and white
Love me in spite
If I betrayed our lonely nights
Spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
We never fight, when I'm away

[Verse]
Did your mother always seem to hate me?
I'm sicker every day and now I'm terrified of talking to my friends only to stay stuck
Dreaming of our first born and your hair covered in popcorn
You never leave, you never leave, you never leave

You leave me uptight
Strung up like a kite

Love me in spite
If I betrayed our lonely nights
Spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
Would we never fight when I'm away?

It feels like there's a lady who is always watching me
She is playing with me
I fall everytime she smiles
I get up I smile
She is like a melodious music
She is all around in my mind
But deep down I am obsessed with her
I want her to hug me
She is like a witch
Idk who she is
She is darkness
I want to drown in it but don't want to struggle in the ocean of darkness
I've always been in the ocean of darkness
It feels so good to leave your body still in the ocean so you can feel relaxed and alone
But it's so painful to struggle in the waters
It has flow but it's too slow
I cannot think of a direction
I don't see anybody but me in the ocean
What is this I don't know

this is the kind of song that is played at the end of a movie that makes you question everything about the movie and then you start thinking about your life and you're having deep thoughts making up hypotheticals of what could have been and then you try to rationalize who you are as a human being (or not a human being i don't know your situation). that's what this song made me feel.

Most people associate this song with heartbreak and sadness, but it makes me yearn for a love I’ll probably never experience

GangstaMango Dict

isn't that still something along the lines of sadness and heartbreak though?

But I associate this song with something bittersweet, but more sweet imo. Like you're finding the beauty in something, and reveling/admiring it.
At the same, the bitter part, it's either one of those moments where "it's so pretty it hurts", or the same thing where u can't have it (tho I dont think that's the feeling in particular), or- a quote from another song, "crying for all that's beautiful".

Just wanted y’all to know that I found this song maybe 3 years ago, and I found it from this boy. Of course, by starting this off with “this boy”, i’m sure you have an idea of where this is going. So yes, I caught feelings for him. But it was fast. Incredibly, and dangerously fast. I wasn’t too sure what it was, but when looking back at it.... I was falling in love. I met up with him one Wednesday in July, 2018. We’ve been good friends for a couple months now- and we never really got to see each other since he went to a different school in our area. We met up at the park. He lived out in the country- and I lived in town. We both didn’t have our drivers license since we were so young, so I walked as he rode his bike there for maybe 6 to 8 miles (damn). I remember walking up to him- with this song playing in my earbuds to calm me down. He looked up. His eyes were piercing, electric blue and sleep deprived. Brown curly cue hair and the cutest button nose you’ll ever see in your life. We just sat there at the red bench- talking. For hours. Then as the summer continued, I didn’t think he liked me back, so I distanced myself with the intention of protecting my heart. I was gone for a couple months. Once I was healed enough, me and this boy returned to being friends in maybe September of 2018. And we were, we were great friends.... when I was in a relationship. If I wasn’t, I acted as if I was his- and honestly, he acted as if he was mine. He’d call me pretty and say he missed me, and i’d call him cute and say I missed him too. We’d go out to football games and he’d bring a blanket to keep me warm, and his puppy to give me extra company. We would sit at the top left corner of the bleachers, and under the warm sunset glow I swear to god- I’ve never seen something more beautiful than him. We also went to the town fair together around May, 2019. He was too scared to go on the “scary” rides, so we just ended up walking to the grade school park (since it’s away from civilization). The sun was setting and it was getting dark- and we cuddled at yet another red bench as the moons glow blanketed over us. He said if I could tell him how the eclipse works- he’d love me endlessly. I knew he wasn’t being all too serious, but for some reason I remembered that exact moment really well. But of course, we were busy people- and we never ever officially dated. We didn’t meet up much but when we did it was like magic, every. single. time. It’s been maybe a little bit more than two years and a half now- going on three years of this on and off nonsense. It was my birthday, November 29th. And you know what I wanted? I wanted to see him. And I did. He had his drivers license now, so we went to see a movie. He brought a blanket (again? how sweet), and one of his hoodies with his last name printed on the back. The theatre had those chairs that you could recline- and we sat in the back. It was late, maybe 9 o’clock if i’m thinking correctly, so I was a lil tired. I laid on top of him, and he held me like it was the last time he ever would. Then he started to do this thing where he’d press his face against mine. We were whispering back and forth about how much we “hated” each other. With our lips slightly brushing up against eachother, I felt the tension. Those small breaks in between our sentences began to grow longer, so we were just laying there. Face to face, lips slightly parted. So I whispered back- “just do it”. He responded with “what?” and I only persisted- “just, do it”. “oh.” and then- we kissed. It only took two years- but we kissed. And then that was our thing. For that day, at least. As he dropped me off at my house- the last thing he did was kiss me. I kept his hoodie and this song was on repeat for hours that night. And then within only a week, we didn’t speak to each other again. And that’s when I realized, no matter how much we wish or hope, some stories just don’t have happy endings.

Me, I got over the depression, Just haven't gotten over her and it's been 7 months already. How to move on when she's already moved on?

This song reminding me of my first and only love that went on for seven years with my best friend. And yeah, I still do love him, it’s just that we don’t talk anymore. I wonder what the hell went wrong. We went from visiting each other hours on end, talking about anything we wanted every single day, and becoming each other’s favorite people, to constantly avoiding each other because of one stupid fight, and pretending those precious years we spent with each other never happened. Yeah I want to go up to him but for some reason I can’t. If only I had the courage to speak to him. It’s been almost two years since we last talked and my heart still aches. We promised each other that’d we’d be together forever. I know that sounds corny but I really thought that would happen. I guess everyone was right, promises exist to be broken.

Dark_lynx

I truly hope that one day you two reconcile and go back to how you were. It sounds so painful to be yearning for the past for so long, especially with how important that relationship was to you. Just thinking about losing one of my friends makes me upset, so I can't even comprehend how awful that must be to go through. I'm sorry that happened to you.
at the very least, I hope that you can grow around this loss, and eventually accept it as part of your life; something good that happened, but is over now and you are better for it. I don't know what's happened since you commented this, but I wish you the very best of luck on your journey, stranger <3

I remember feeling alive when I first heard this song. It was a bitter cold day, cloudy, and with small pockets of rain here and there. This really special girl I knew showed me this song. It was on the bus ride back home from school. I remember the exact stretch of road, exact time, what the worn out leather bus seats felt like, and how the rain sung its own melody through the windows. I’d say around 2:28 I happened to look at her as she silently sung along. That exact moment was when my stomach and chest realized what I hadn’t. It was that this person was going to be something special to me. In hindsight, she really did live up to that. However, I never really told her how much she meant to me, or even now, how much she still does. I see it as selfish if I were to tell her now how both sorry and grateful I am. Even so I’ll take my chances.

If you happen to see this J, I intend on keeping my promises. I’m trying to be someone you would’ve been proud of. Oh and please, please never stop creating your art. The small pieces of art I have of yours are small doodles but they bring me so much somber happiness. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry for everything.

This song feels like the dreamlike state you enter after something terrible happens. You try so hard to pretend it didn't happen. You create this perfect world in your mind and just stay there. You start to notice small things out of place but you push them aside to try and keep the fantasy alive. You're terrified of talking to your friends and family coz you're afraid that they'll break it. But eventually, the reality of it gets too much for you and you have to wake up.

I can’t tell you how nervous I actually was. It was a usual Friday afternoon, my high school scheduling a football game and a dance in the gymnasium afterward. My hair was up, make up finished, cute dress on, and heels to match. I thought I had overdone it, already done paying at the admission stand to get in while looking for my friends and that specific boy in mind. My mind was racing a mile a minute, but it shouldn’t have. I mean; I was already comfortable and dating this dork; so why exactly did my heart race like it was going to burst out of my chest? And then, I saw him. All those worries of ‘what if I overdid this?’, ‘does this dress suit me?’, ‘will he like my make up?’ disappeared as soon as I saw him wave me over, smile that adorable smile of his, and get me sat down to watch the game by him. The first thing he said to me? “You look amazing!” I can’t tell you how the game was going because honestly, I didn’t pay any attention to it. I was far too fixated on this cutie who was currently cracking jokes and goofing off with his bandmates to care about whether or not my hometown team was winning against our rivals. The game finished up, we headed down off of the bleachers and towards the gymnasium. Our English teacher was there, the look on her face to see us there nonetheless than joyful. She’d suspected we were together before either of us had even made a move on one another- it was no surprise she probably has a third eye for potential ‘what if’s?’. We headed inside. The lights were dimmed, there was a DJ, our friends greeted us and we all talked amongst ourselves for a bit of time. Soon after, I was entertained enough by the balloons decorating the gym floor, picking up one and tossing it into the air. Before I could even bop it back up into the air once more, he caught it, of course. The disadvantages of being a small girlfriend- but an advantage for my tall boyfriend. He smirked, raised the balloon over his head and teased me to get it back. I laughed, stood on my toes and did my utmost best to get that balloon back as if it depended on my life. Finally, I took a step back in that dimly lit gym and looked at him. Those hazel-green eyes of his held so much happiness, his smile was brighter than any of the stars and moon that shone that night. We both just took those few milliseconds to stare at one another. And then I realized I could hear my heartbeat; it was racing as wildly as ever. In those few moments I knew I’d fallen in love with him right then and there. We didn’t dance much at all, instead opting to sit on the bleachers provided and hold hands while sharing shy smiles and adoring laughter. Some might regret not dancing, but I don’t at all. Sitting there, I felt as if we had all the privacy we needed to sit close to one another and talk. Starting off as just some friends on the playground in Elementary, losing contact in middle school, rekindling a friendship once more in high school freshman year, and having the fateful chance of walking together down the halls to go to our shared History class together, we’d grown so much. Last night, at 1 in the morning, we talked about how we’re going to get married in the few upcoming years and what baby names we adored. He’s my boyfriend of nearly 3 years now; he’s my soulmate and my other half. I won’t be giving him up for as long as I can keep him. Here’s hoping I get to walk down the aisle to see his loving face, wake up every morning to see our children giggling and playing, slow dance in the living room at three in the morning with the night sky as our audience and a delicate hum on both of our lips while we hold each other close, grow grey-haired and wrinkles around our eyes because we couldn’t help but smile seeing the other in our younger days. I love you to the moon and back, Tristen. Thank you for showing me how love is really meant to be.

2:06 the buildup and the DROP is so fucking perfect...feels like ur at a pool party and ur getting overwhelmed by all the noise and chatter and then u fall into the deep end... anyways I love this song so much !! im usually not into slow songs but this one is so complex and has so many changes in dynamic, so many LAYERS....the way the lyrics are written that there's a pickup at the end of each line.... this is so beautifully constructed and definitely a very interesting song that I've been listening to on repeat and I'm still not bored

seems rather late, but I discovered this song on Valentine’s Day whilst browsing Spotify, and the moment I heard it, I fell in love. This song feels like a first date, where two lovers gently caress their soft lips against each other’s and run away to a land of amour. It holds a deep place in my heart, I will never forget this song.

This song is so soothing. You know those perfect songs you never get tired of listening to? This is one of them for sure.
Edit: Made the mistake of listening to this for the first time with only one earbud. Having both in is a whole new auditory experience

this is one of those songs that you listen to on repeat at a certain point in your life and you come back to it months later but can’t quite put your finger on the emotion it brings because when you try to feel it, it vanishes.

the fact that this came out today and today was the day i left my boyfriend's house after visiting for a week, and not being able to see him for a while, this isn't chance. i was meant to love this song.

Why does Ricky have to be so talented. All of his songs, no matter what, always manage to make me cry.

Edit: I also think the band is amazing too. Yes I fell in love with Ricky's voice the first time I heard it but it just wouldn't be the same without his amazing back up musicians. They complete the song

Esta canción me hace sentir dentro de un limbo al cual mis decisiones me han llevado a corresponder. Siento que amo a la persona quien es mi pareja pero hemos tenido tantos problemas que se siente muy frustrante cuando todo no va bien aún más si eso implica volver al punto donde empezó a doler. Esta canción me recuerda a cuanto me gustaría volver a cuando aún no me hacía daño sin saberlo, a cuando hablábamos sobre el nombre de nuestros hijos. Nunca olvidare tu color favorito, ni tus tiernas sonrisas antes de besarme en la frente. Espero algún día encuentres la paz y ames como me contabas que querías. Estoy seguro que cuando todo esto acabe podré llorarte y ser feliz tal cual como debí hacerlo cuando no supe apoyarte y entenderte.

I mean yeah its understandable to think about a love when you hear this song but for me not necessarily. For me this is a song that makes you think about everything. About your parents, about friends, about times you had, but also about the Future. I dont know how you can make a song work like that but its pure magic.

I just want to say that this work of art is literally one of the best things I have ever discovered. It is simply my favorite song, and it came to me in one of the most difficult moments of my life. I can never be grateful enough to The Honeysticks for creating such a beautiful song (sorry if there's a mistake, english isn't my 1st language)💕

Did anyone notice how when the song goes "wicked and white", instead of the word 'white' appearing on the screen, it is just left blank? As in a blank white screen?

especially that one time coming back from my first major cross country meet during sept 2019 during the beginning of my junior year since I dealt with a lot of love issues during that time and to top it off it was night and I thought of her while playing this song and it was nice driving back through the country side and city on a bus with the girl next to me

I listened to this song a lot in 2018 when I was madly in love with the wrong person. It was a lying on the carpet, smoking a cig and staring at the ceiling, hoping it would finally work out type of love. I'm happily married to the right person now.
