The track “Xylophone” from Melbourne vocalist and songwriter Joel Gardner a.ka. Guard isn’t explicitly about summer love, but its bouncy melody and use of a cartoonish water drop sound effect give off the vibe of sunshine, sweat, and halter tops. The track comes from Felix Snow and Campa imprint EFF...
[Intro]
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
[Verse 1]
I said it, I mean it, I'm feeling the vibe
I'm a villain, you know what, I know what you like
I'm throwing a hook out to see if you bite
I want lowkey tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Play my ribcage like a xylophone
You know my heart's on (fire)
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was your touch
Lately you ain't giving me much
[Post-Chorus]
Wanted
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
Be, be touched
All I ever wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
Be, be touched
[Verse 2]
I'm streaming a demon to fill up my time
A lot like a bruise you still stay on my thigh
You better be ready when I squeeze the line
I miss lowkey tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Play my ribcage like a xylophone
You know my heart's on (fire)
Play my rip-rip like a xyl-xyl-xyl-xyl-xyl
You know my heart's on...
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was your touch
Lately you ain't giving me much
[Post-Chorus]
Wanted
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
Be, be touched
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
To be, be touched
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
To be, be touched
All I ever wanted
Yeah, wanted
To be, yeah, wanted
[Outro]
All I ever wanted was...
