“Oblivion” is the fourth single from Alaska Reid’s forthcoming Big Bunny EP. It was co-written and produced by frequent collaborator and romantic partner A. G. Cook and Rodaidh McDonald.
On the background of the song, speaking to The FADER about the song, Reid says:
“Oblivion” is really special to...
[Verse 1]
Lean into me, don’t leave me naive
I’m your teen ex-lover, you’ve died in my dreams
Lean into me, I still can’t sleep
Lots of teen ex-lovers have died in my dreams
Lean into me
Hey baby, why don’t they want me?
Hey baby, you’ll always haunt me
[Chorus]
You and I, come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for my midnight sun
You and I, come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for the midnight
[Verse 2]
Lean into me, don’t leave me naive
Lots of teen ex-lovers have died in my dreams
Lie next to me, lie next to me, we were never apart
Drank PBR and talked about our scars
Maybe I felt lonely being around you
Now, baby, I can breathe better without you
[Chorus]
You and I, c-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for my midnight sun
You and I, c-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for the midnight
[Bridge]
I’m in love with a ghost of the past
You and I are missing halves
In the pine trees and the sweet grass
Meet me at last
[Chorus]
C-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for my midnight sun
You and I, c-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for the midnight
You and I, c-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for my midnight sun
You and I, c-come on
Somewhere in oblivion
You and I, let's run off
Searching for the midnight
