July is the last track off of Irish singer-songwriter Nell Mescal’s debut EP, ‘Can I Miss It For A Minute?’. The song was written by Mescal and Charlie Sinclair, the same duo that wrote Killing Time, the third song on the EP. It also has the same producer as the rest of the album, Duncan Mills.
In...
[Intro]
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I look at you and I feel nothing
No more resentment, it's so humbling
To know you care enough to cry
To know I left that boy behind
[Chorus]
I put you up on a pedestal and now I'm looking down on you
Bit by bit you took your toll
Bit by bit you made me small
I put you up on a pedestal, now I'm looking down on you
Bit by bit you took your toll
Bit by bit you made me small
[Verse 2]
I made my mind up, I'm not lonely
Maybe that makes me unforgiving
I only missed you 'til July
I only miss you half the time
[Chorus]
I put you up on a pedestal and now I'm looking down on you
Bit by bit you took your toll
Bit by bit you made me small
I put you up on a pedestal and now I'm looking down on you
Bit by bit you took your toll
Bit by bit, oh
[Bridge]
I wanted to feel at home
But you're just another face I got used to
I wanted to feel at home
But you're just another face I got used to
You're just another face I got used to
You're just another face I got used to
[Outro]
I look at you, I hear him calling
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses, oh
It's coming up roses
I am calling out
It's coming up roses
It's finally over
It's coming up roses, oh
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
It's coming up roses
