[Verse 1]
The list of things I could live without
Grows longer as I move everything around
Behind all the furniture
Pointed toward her
To keep her in my sights
To keep her in my life
[Refrain]
By all means, she can get ahead of herself
I’d already be there
I'll already be there to meet her
[Verse 2]
She's no traitor
I've got no chaser
For a leg up
I've got no chaser
She's no traitor
For a joint account
She gave me everything that she had left
[Chorus]
(She doesn't buy)
Anything for herself
But for me, she goes way in, way in, way into the red
[Post-Chorus]
She saw every hand in my pocket
She sold her gold rush
She watched me lose face every day
Rather than lose me
She was the gold rush, she was the gold rush
She was the gold rush
She saw every hand in her pocket
And she sawed off every hand
[Chorus]
(She doesn't buy)
Anything for herself
But for me, she goes way in, way in, way into the red
[Post-Chorus]
She saw every hand in my pocket
She sold her gold rush
She watched me lose face every day
Rather than lose me
She was the gold rush, she was the gold rush
She was the gold rush, she was the gold rush
She was the gold rush, she was the gold rush
[Verse 3]
Oh, I haven't been living until now
Even doing nothing I am making the most of somehow
And the credit goes to her
As the bad days become rare
Gotta keep her in my sights
Gotta keep her in my life
[Refrain]
By all means, she can get ahead of herself
I'll already be there
I'll already be there to meet her
Into the Red was written by Dom Maker & James Blake.
Into the Red was produced by Dom Maker & Jameela Jamil & James Blake.
James Blake released Into the Red on Fri Jan 18 2019.
“Into the Red” is about a woman in my life who was very giving—someone who put me before themselves and spent the last of their money on something for me. It was just a really beautiful sentiment—especially the antithesis of the idea that the man pays. I just liked that idea of equal footing.
