In this single, Indiana singer-songwriter Omar Apollo reflects on a time he came on too strong to someone. He also questions if he will ever find someone who is willing to commit to the same level of romanticism as he does.
[Verse 1]
Costly, I tell you
You need to grow
Feels close to heaven
Past the unknown
[Pre Chorus]
I'm still thinking bout you
Too-Da-Loo
It's blood in your eyes
You're going far
[Chorus]
It's just nice to meet you anyway
Didn't mean to scare you yesterday
Thought you wanted all that I could bring
[Verse 2]
Kiss me one time
I've been dying to know
If this is real life
Then I'm down with growing old
[Pre Chorus]
I'm still thinking bout you
Too-Da-Loo
[Chorus]
It's just nice to meet you anyway
Didn't mean to scare you yesterday
Thought you wanted all that I could bring
[Bridge]
I need to wait
Good at rushing
Love on my mind
Days that I
I hope I find
[Outro]

Why you running?
Why you run away?
Why you running? (Why you running?)
Why you run away?
Why you running?
Why you run away?

We gotta switch spots dude.” I literally made it super fast. We didn’t talk much. He knows I was in my mode. I...
A lot of the themes in my songs are about getting older. It just seems to be a running thematic thing so I always think about getting old or what state of mind I’ll be when I’m 30 or whatever. With this song, I had a heartbreak that kind of inspired my growth as a human. Growth to move on. Not even...
