“Mercury & Me” is about a man coming to terms with a mercurial relationship. In this vulnerable, stripped-down piano track Jonathan Higgs paints himself as unreliable, destructive and self-deluding. Like many other Everything Everything love songs, this one is tinged with tragedy and self-loathi...
[Verse 1]
Are you gonna be okay, babe?
I wanna be beside you but I think that it will hurt you
And I don't regret my life with you
And they tell us that we're over
But I don't think we're over and you know I like pretending
[Pre-Chorus]
So no matter what they say, I'm not giving in
I destroy the things I have, and I lie to myself
A destroyer of the mind, I don't care
[Chorus]
But we let it go on
We let it go on
We let it go on
We let it go on
[Verse 2]
I don't know which way to turn now
I don't think I'm ever gonna be a rеal person
It's just Mercury and me, wе're in love
And they tell us that we're over
But I don't think we're over and you know I like pretending
[Pre-Chorus]
So no matter what they say, I'm not giving in
I destroy the things I have, and I lie to myself
A destroyer of the mind, I don't care
[Chorus]
But we let it go on
We let it go on
We let it go on
We let it go on
[Outro]
(Don't listen) We let it go on
(Glass heaven) We let it go on
(Old magic) We let it go on
(Forever) We let it go on
(Red wild for you) We let it go on
(Don't listen) We let it go on
(Glass heaven) We let it go on
(Old magic) We let it go on
(Forever) We let it go on
(Red wild for you) We let it go on
(Don't listen) We let it go on
(Glass heaven) We let it go on
(Forever)
