“Puma Blue’s Want Me” is the first single and track of his EP, Swum Baby, and was released on July 3, 2016. It details the subject’s deep, almost idolizing veneration for his lover and his struggle to cope with the fact that she may not feel the same way.
You said that I don't care, but of course I do
How come when I'm alone, I only think of you?
I've only been in love, maybe once or twice
But now that I've had just a taste you've got me so enticed
I used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't
I used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through mine, but now I guess I won't
And now I don't know, if you want me so, I guess I'll go
You floor me with that style, and if I had a choice
I wouldn't slip up everytime that I hear your voice
And though it doesn't work, I try desperately
To become this great ugly root to a perfect tree
I used to feel those words that you spoke over me, but now I don't
I used to feel those powder blue eyes stare through mine, but now I guess I won't
And now I don't know, if you want me so, I guess I'll go
Want Me was written by Puma Blue.
Want Me was produced by Puma Blue.
I got to make the video with a couple friends who are two of my favourite directors so it was a good time. We were going for this Wong Kar-wai vibe which I hope comes across. In terms of narrative though, who cares.
