[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't understand
What you want me to
Sometimes it takes the right plan
To get this confused
Waiting for the moment but it's never right
You lean over and whisper, "Baby, don't be shy"
Take another minute, Cara, are you sure?
Maybe I could be a mirror for your pleasure
[Chorus 1]
Shy under the weight of desire
Afraid and able
Shy under the weight of desire
Afraid and able
[Verse 2]
Diving under the sheets
Under rainbow lights
It was more like a cage
We were forced to fight
Remember when you gave me a vial of your blood?
I hid it in my closet until I gave you up
Sitting on a roof above our flooded city
I know I shouldn't stare, but Cara, you're so pretty
[Chorus 2]
Shy under the weight of desire
Tame turning into wild
I see but don't recognize
Afraid and able
[Bridge]
Shy
Shy
What would you have me say?
God, it's a perfect save
It took me thirty years and now I feel right
How did we get this way?
How did we get this way?
How did we get this way?
[Outro]
(Shy under the weight of design)
(Tame turning into the wild)
(I see but don't recognize)
(Afraid and able)

Those expectations are starting to change as culture more broadly starts to push back against a patriarchal establishment, and pushing for women to a claim a share of asse...
What have the artists said about the song?
This is another song that Shawn really took in unexpected directions. We recorded the basic track with two drum sets in the room playing against a distorted drum machine loop. It’s got this surfy, swamp rumble to it that almost felt like something from our first record. Then, in the spirit of Fleetw...
