“Breakfast” is the first single by the London-based quartet Anteros and was released on April 1st, 2016.
Vocalist Laura Hayden, when speaking about the track to The Line of Best Fit, says:
We wrote this song last summer. I was seeing someone who only wanted to stay up and talk about their problems...
[Verse 1]
Save your sorrows, you're wasting daylight
There's no tomorrows, we're chasing taillights
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Say you wanna talk, wanna work it out
Well, good luck, 'cause my head just touched the clouds
It's not that you are boring
It's just I'm bored of talking for tonight
[Chorus]
Why don't you tell me over breakfast?
'Cause I don't wanna know now
Why don't you save it for your next breath?
'Cause I don't need to know now
'Cause all we should be isn't all that we need
And I don't wanna know why
[Verse 2]
Your words are ringing like bells I'm tired of hearing
And I'll forget them soon as the sun has fallen
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still you wanna talk, wanna work it out
Well, good luck, 'cause my head is full of doubt
First you'll have to find me
I won't be putting up a fight tonight
[Chorus]
Why don't you tell me over breakfast?
'Cause I don't wanna know now
Why don't you save it for your next breath?
'Cause I don't need to know now
'Cause all we should be isn't all that we need
Why don't you tell me over breakfast?
'Cause I don't wanna know now
Why don't you save it for your next breath?
'Cause I don't need to know now
'Cause all we should be isn't all that we need
And I don't wanna know why
[Bridge]
Don't say, don't say it's over
Don't question me
'Cause I'm not the answer
And soon you'll see
[Chorus]
Why don't you tell me over breakfast?
'Cause I don't wanna know now
Why don't you save it for your next breath?
'Cause I don't need to know now
'Cause all we should be isn't all that we need
Why don't you tell me over breakfast?
'Cause I don't wanna know now
Why don't you save it for your next breath?
'Cause I don't need to know now
'Cause all we should be isn't all that we need
And I don't wanna know why
[Outro]
So tell me over breakfast
