lyrics

sometimes it feels like i’m swimming with sharks
just reading books by myself in the park
and when i’m walking alone after dark
i don’t want your yell, don’t shout me out

over my headphones
i hear you telling me to smile
and then you reach for me
bit in the ocean bleeding
where is your self-control
now you’ve been talking for a while
you don’t even let me speak
you think you know everything

the days i’ve patiently waited
while things i know are clarified or debated

your eyes close when you talk about champagne
my eyes roll back so far i see my brain
and there is so much you try to explain
that i don’t wanna know, keep to yourself

i load into the show
you ask if i’m somebody’s girlfriend
not seen as capable
just someone’s property

the days i’ve patiently waited
while you miscalculated — i don’t owe you anything

you stand in front of me blocking the view
but i’ll climb ladders to see over you
and if there’s something you think i can’t do
don’t need your company, don’t knock me down

what do you deserve from me
n-o-t-h-i-n-g
why do you always have to be
so c-r-y-p-t-i-c
save the calls for my kitty
c-h-a-r-l-i-e
wish you had earned that PHD
in r-e-s-p-e-c-t
how many girls in this city
are getting t-i-r-e-d
finding a sense of security
through h-i-d-i-n-g
wish i could swim but i’m in your teeth
b-l-e-e-d-i-n-g
wish you had earned that PHD
in r-e-s-p-e-c-t

What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
