On “Elvis Impersonators”, Humberstone portrays the longing of being away from her oldest sister, Emma, who moved to Japan to study, during Paint My Bedroom Black’s songwriting phase. The track offers melodramatic lyrics that are softened by tender details through Holly’s ubiquitous experiences in th...
[Verse 1]
You said this thing that really stuck with me
Back when you were in my life
On the tube, everyone's ugly
Guess it’s the unforgiving light
[Pre-Chorus]
In your shoebox apartment
Are you picking out an outfit
To go out and eat gyoza in the park?
And when the umbrella's open
You should know that nothing's hopeless
And I’m sending you a foggy shower screen heart
[Chorus]
I— I— I— I— I can't be without you
Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you (I—)
[Verse 2]
And now it's two AM in Tokyo
There's cherry blossom in your hair
You always were the least happy child
I always thought that wasn't fair
[Pre-Chorus]
And you always hid your sadness
With the smoothest sleight of hand
You were a TV talent show disappearing act
And the Elvis' impersonators
Crowding at the elevators
Reminds you of a private joke we had
[Chorus]
I— I— I— I— I can't be without you
Oh, I— I— I— I— I can’t be without you
[Bridge]
’Cause I miss your bones selfishly
I need you next to me, I'm spiraling
I miss your bones selfishly
I need you next to me, I’m spiraling
[Chorus]
I— I— I— I— I can't be without you
Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you

It’s probably the most personal on the album, I guess. Basically, my older sister, Emma, moved to Japan a couple of years ago; she took us to Tokyo. It’s hard being in a different state to your sinblings sometimes. It was just too hard get my head around her, living completely different lives, to wh...
