About

In a July 2020 interview for DIY Mag, lead singer Liz Stokes explains:

I think this song is about the careful dance you do when you want to get to know someone you aren’t close to yet. Where you make plans so that you can bump into each other but you pretend, even to yourself, that it’s not a big d...

Acrid Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Acrid, the smell of burning rubber is a daily feature
When I throw myself into reverse
Check out of my surroundings, backin' up so blindly
My back to the universe
Like a ship out of commission
Like an arrow always missing
I'm always missing

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to lie like a pro and I know
It looks easy from the outside
But it's hard to hold your brow just so, enough to show
I've got other places to go tonight
Like a record slowly twisting
Like an arrow always missing
I'm always whistling by

[Chorus]
But it's you, it's you
I wanna run into you
I wanna run into
Like the wind blowing in through your cold room
I will get the door on the way through
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
Tragic, the messages I send, my mind post-midnight
Are showing seen but no reply
So I mash the keys a million times for a million years and
Maybe by chance, I'll say it right
Closing in on your middle distance
Filling quivers with ammunition
But I'm always missing

[Chorus]
You, you (You)
I wanna run into you (You)
I wanna run into
Like the light burning bright in your hard heart
I won't make a sound when I go dark
Ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Can you see me through?
Do you hear me scratching at the outlines of you?
I feel your heartbeat from a mile away
(Like it knows what I'm trying to say)
What I'm trying to say (I'm trying to say)
Trying to say (I'm trying to say)

[Outro]
It's you, you
I wanna run into you
I wanna run into you, you (You)
I wanna run into you (You)
I wanna run into you (You)
You (You)
I wanna run into you (You)
I wanna run into you (You)
