Memory Trace
Carly Gibert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My head is making a mess
It′s wearing me like a necklace
I moved to another address
It followed around
Now, it's asking for breakfast
I left my thrills in a coffin
Don′t think about 'em too often
Watching my phone while it rings and
I hate that there'so many days in a year

Had other plans but they fell through
Got nothing to celebrate
Only people around you
With nothing but shit to say

It′s now or never
Jumping out the window, feeling better
Can′t see the morning
Is no one gonna stop me from falling?

Playing this once and over
I am stuck in a stoner
Memory trace
Put me for lease with the sofa
Getting nothing but broker
Mind overseas, zero affection
When did I lose my connection?
'Cause now the phone doesn′t ring and
The mask on my face doesn't let me breathe

Had other plans but they fell through
Got nothing to celebrate
Only people around you
With nothing but shit to say

It′s now or never (Now or never)
Jumping out the window, feeling better (Yeah)
Can't see the morning (Can′t see the morning)
Is no one gonna stop me from falling?
It's now or never
Jumping out the window, feeling better (Yeah)
Can't see the morning (Can′t see the morning)
Is no one gonna stop me from falling? (Stop me from falling)

(Had other plans but they fell through)
(Got nothing to celebrate)




(Only people around you)
(With nothing but shit to say)
