[Verse 1]
Put your hand upon my shoulder
While you look over the other
Waiting for a better offer
Waiting for someone to take your breath away
Used to put you in the shower
After blitzing happy hour
Making sure that you were breathing
And now I'm left for dead and you couldn't care less, no
[Chorus]
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
[Verse 2]
Left me hanging till the dial tone
Such a non-committal no-show
Told me that you got a new phone
And I let you fake it 'cause I can't take it
Now I'm sucking in the big ones
While you go and make your own fun
Think it's cool you know the DJ
I'm scoping the exits so I can leg it
[Chorus]
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
[Verse 3]
To what do I owe the pleasure
For all your time and attention
You said whatever the weather
So I went with you and I went with it
You left me out on the sidewalk
You knocked me round with your sweet talk
Another rung in the ladder
A greater height to come down from
[Chorus]
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
Oh
No, I don't need you around, no
Alex Lahey released On The Way Down on Fri May 19 2023.
The only song on the record that I wrote by myself. I thought it would be interesting towards the end of the writing process to squeeze blood from the stone and see what was there, and also remind myself that I can write songs by myself, because sometimes you forget that you can do it, and a bit of...
