The Woods Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twig crack
I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck
It could be paranoia, or best yet
A couple hands to hold ya
And footsteps
No, don’t look yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers, is it the wind with no one to listen?
Or is it him behind me with blisters
All on his hands from knives in the kitchen?
Bet he missed this
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d nevеr choose to
Do I dare chase thе devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods
[Verse 2]
I couldn’t leave it, that letter in blood
I saw it by the staircase buried under dust
I rip it open, read it, and how could I go?
His invitation, four AM, he knows I’ll show
[Pre-Chorus]
I better go, don’t wanna be late
For what could be magic, misery take more of me
I’ll give him everything
Savor, sin, and safeguard
[Chorus]
“Don’t be scared”
“Nobody can find us here,” he says, “my dear”
I don’t care
Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would
I can’t put up barriers the way that I’m used to
When he tells me I could leave
He knows that I’d never choose to
Do I dare chase the devil down?
I’m hooked on you, the woods

What inspired the eerie imagery on "the woods?"
The Woods is actually one of my favorites from the album. I love writing nonsensical songs that leave a lot of room for interpretation. In my opinion, the best way to do that is write in terms of imagery, rather than with a solid concept. To me, The Woods doesn’t truly have a definitive meaning, but...
What was it like to see your vision come to life with Micah after writing alone?
Micah is one of my favorite people to work with. He executive produced my debut, and produced multiple tracks on this project. He’s insanely talented, and one of my favorite things about our workflow is that we come up with these ideas about how a song should sound, and he just brings it to fruition...
