‘jorts’ is tracking two off of the ‘growing pains’ EP. this song deals with the feelings of a breakup. the protagonist acknowledges that they feel horrible but insist that they will be fine as time passes, and they also acknowledge the other person’s hurt.
In time i'll forget you were mine
And all the red in my eyes i'll leave behind
I don't know what i'm doing
I'm sulking instead of improving
I don't know what i'm doing
I want to call but i think that's intruding
(i'm fine) i've never been better
(i'm dying) but it fits the weather
(inside) i'm worse for wear but it's fine
They believe that we're alright
Forced smiles and laugh lines hide so much from the light
I don't know what you're doing
I think you're the one who's bruising
I don't know what i'm doing
I want to call but i think that's intruding
If you send flowers, paint them black and blue
The colours of my insides stained by thoughts of you
I'll keep them hydrated and let them bloom
Maybe they'll teach me how to grow too
