May Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
You get high with me, I know
Your voice gets soft and slow
The words pour out your mouth
Like smoke, I wear it like Bleu De Chanel cologne
I know it fades so fast (Fast)
But I can be your diplomat
[Verse 2]
Just call, I'll come right back
I guess I'll try my best
But my mind is in the clouds
We disagree
But in time, you'll see
You should have stuck around
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
For seven years we ran
From the future that we planned (Shh, shh)
A past we couldn't understand
A present that looked better in the rearview (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]

I still think of you, oh
[Chorus]
(Oh May) It lasted longer than you had expected
(Oh May) But shorter than I thought it'd be
(Oh May) I always fuck things up when I'm pretendin'
(Oh May) I always fuck things up, it's killin' me
[Post-Chorus]
It's killin' me
It's killin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
Here we are
I still think of you
I still think of you
Gone so far
I still think of you
I still think of you, oh
[Chorus]
It lasted longer than you had expected
(Oh May) But shorter than I thought it'd be
(Oh May) I always fuck things up when I'm pretendin'
(Oh May) I always fuck things up, it's killin' me
[Post-Chorus]
It's killin' me
It's killin' me
May Q&A
Who wrote May's ?
May was written by Lupin.
What did Lupin say about "May"?
I had been clinging to the past in my relationship at the time, grappling with the realization that our young expectations of what our future should look like might not actually work out. Or rather shouldn’t work out. This song focuses on coming to terms with that.

What was the recording process for the song like?
The only one that took some time was “May”. I went through a couple versions of that one. The OG version was slower and I didn’t sing the verse in falsetto; I sang it in chest voice. It was just really fucking slow and really lo-fi. I heard it sped up and still tried to sing it an octave down and th...
