The second single off WSTR’s first studio album, “Red, Green or Inbetween”, and the first song to be released after their 2015 EP, SKRWD.
The track is about a dying relationship which is failing not because the couple don’t love each other anymore, but rather because they know they’re not right for...
[Verse 1]
Lately I've felt the ice brush off your shoulder
It's slowly getting colder
There’s a thousand things you do to test my patience
Mistaken for ghosts who knelt before her
Turned her back and left them in the corner
[Chorus]
Embraced it
I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead
(Can’t seem to break ahead)
I'm anxious
It’s fucking with my chances of redemption
(Redemption)
[Verse 2]
I'm still that kid you don't remember
Still got hot rocks in my jeans
Amongst the others speaking parseltongue
And I still don't know what it means
I held back my keep sakes
The difference a day makes
I held more than my lungs could take
And now we're stalked by trails of vapour
[Chorus]
Embraced it
I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead
(Can’t seem to break ahead)
I'm anxious
It’s fucking with my chances of redemption
(Redemption)
Footprints embedded in my skin
Lovestruck so I can never win
It’s pulling me back
Take everything I have
Embraced it
I tabled all my aces but I can’t seem to break ahead
(Can’t seem to break ahead)
I'm anxious
It’s fucking with my chances of redemption
(Redemption)
Footprints embedded in my skin
Lovestruck so I can never win
It’s pulling me back
Take everything I have
