“Chapstick” was first performed Amsterdam Bar in St. Paul, MN on January 22, 2019, dedicated to Whistler Allen’s father, Clint.
The track marks the first time Whistler has sung lead vocals on a Hippo Campus song, previously singing a small solo in “Violet” along with releasing some solo singles.
[Verse 1: Whistler]
I felt my face before
You saw my feet through the door
You saw my lips split
I could not feel a thing
You shared your chapstick
You shared your lipstick more
As we rest on
The dirty kitchen floor
They try to sweep us
Into the cracks and walls
We use our chapstick
To share the love we trust
[Refrain: Whistler]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
To share the love we trust
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
To share the love we trust
[Verse 2: Whistler]
At the drugstore
You told me everything
You said there's good news
I said there's no such thing
You said you're certain
I said there's no way how
Pulled out your chapstick
It's all too real right now
[Refrain: Whistler]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's all too real right now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I said there's no way how
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's all too real right now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
