[Verse 1]
How about every time I let you down
Just write it out and thank me later
I was proud, maybe too proud to be patient
And maybe patience is the answer
Then I found out, catching every drop of blood
It never got you any closer, no
How about, you don't ask too many questions
I won't ask too many favours
[Chorus]
Always see you with the sun coming up
Every cliché in the goddamn book
Oh, that's how I think about us, how it all should be
Drowning underwater, least another week
I think it all could change
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yеah
[Verse 2]
Broken rail of all the 7000 little problеms
That you could face
You never fail, we always end up dancing

[Chorus]
Always see you with the sun coming up
Every cliché in the goddamn book
Oh, that's how I think about us, how it all should be
Drowning underwater, least another week
I think it all could change
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yeah
[Bridge]
I really hope we haven't got this wrong
Hope we're ready, yeah
I really hope we haven't got this wrong
[Chorus]
I Always see you with the sun coming up
Every cliché in the goddamn book
Oh, that's how I think about us, how it all should be
Drowning underwater, least another week
I think it all could change
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yeah
James Vincent McMorrow released Cliché on Fri Sep 17 2021.
This is a very rough-around-the-edges recording, relative to everything else on the album, because I did it in an hour in the studio. Play the drums, play the piano, play everything on top—that was it. I was trying to explore the notion of a cliché in the lyrics. If I’m honest, I think that there ar...
