Katie Munshaw: “At the start of the pandemic, Charlie and I started writing songs with the idea to pitch them to other artists. “Birthmark” was one of the songs that came out of that process. The song is from the point of view of someone I love who went through their first heartbreak last year. I re...
[Verse 1]
That red wine birthmark on your shoulder
Two winters longer than a fling
Could try again when we are older
Maybe the time could kill the sting
[Chorus]
I wake up, it's fine
In the morning light, I feel sort of over it
And it's not like I lay awake and cry
Over someone undeserving
Of my space and time
God, I swear I'm fine
But it's when I go to bed, when I go to bed
[Verse 2]
Do you remember last December?
Screaming our heads off on the frost
And how all of our friends wеre watching us
The way you watch something combust
And thе words that hung hot in the air
And how dumb did you think that I was?
'Cause none of your lies were adding up
Now I know
I know, I know I'm better off, but
[Chorus]
I wake up, it's fine
In the morning light, I feel sort of over it
And it's not like I lay awake and cry
Over someone undeserving
Of my space and time
God, I swear I'm fine
But it's when I go to bed (I can't get over it), when I go to bed (I can't get over it)
[Post-Chorus]
(I can't get over it) I wake to find your memory
(I can't get over it) Replay that same Soccer Mommy
Song for an hour or 'til you leave
Whichever first provides relief
[Bridge]
Was there a time before you, me?
I watch us from the mezzanine
Where once there was a bolder man
You cower now in Comic Sans
[Chorus]
I wake up, it's fine
In the morning light, I feel sort of over it
And it's not like I lay awake and cry
Over someone undeserving
Of my space and time
God, I swear I'm fine
But it's when I go to bed (I can't get over it), when I go to bed (I can't get over it)
