This is my attempt at building a song out of a very specific dynamic between two monogamously involved people. The verses are just excerpts from real conversations, fragments of what two people talk about when they both know they need to have a real talk but neither wants to be the one to bring it u...
[Verse 1]
They said you called and you were perfectly nice
A real pearl that needed a bite
White knuckled mum in the passenger seat
The home invaded, trying to sleep
[Chorus]
Time to open up
How was your day, how was your day?
Feels like breaking up
Calling my name, calling my name
[Verse 2]

Felt like a deadly lit candle left up in a room
An old piece of currency for a dollar at the open market
You had the best car in thе street, but there was nowherе to park it

[Chorus]
Time to open up
How was your day, how was your day?
Feels like breaking up
Calling my name, calling my name

Never wanna be the one to call it off
[Chorus]
Time to open up
How was your day, how was your day?
Feels like breaking up
Calling my name, calling my name
Time to open up
How was your day, how was your day?
Feels like breaking up
Calling my name, calling my name

And it was brought on by lockdown. A lot of people...
