What I Want To Hear

yodaleiaheehoo This track has many layers of its own. I am not going to pretend I fully understand all there is to glean from this song. Lisa Ritchie writes so poetically I always feel like I am only getting a small piece of what is truly there with so much more that I cannot comprehend.

lyrics

Verse 1
Here, in a rented room, I
Probably assume too quick and speak too soon
Veiled, with open ended answers, so
No one can decipher how it’s been this year
Cause nobody can tell me what I want to hear

Verse 2
Steer, drowning in the front seat,
Coming up to breathe between the lines I read
Clutch all my favorite memories,
Buried in the back rooms of my yesteryear
Where nobody can tell me what I want to hear
I can’t even tell you what i want to

Pre-Chorus 1
Here, I brace for it,
Oh it’s like I wanted this
Like a gate that can’t be breached
The bottom step that I can’t see

Chorus 1
oh it’s like, i’m made for it
in my feels, a silhouette
i can’t steer, away from it
i can’t steer
still nobody can tell me what i want to hear

Verse 3
Dreamt, I was picking up and finding some new town
Built a new life under someone else’s name I found
West, on some abandoned timeline there
Where I drive until everything lost reappears
And I dreamed that I asked, can we ever go back?
But your words weren’t clear

Now nobody can tell me what I want to hear

Pre-Chorus 2
Here, I brace for it,
Oh it’s like I wanted this
Like a gate that can’t be breached
I think I lost my fucking keys.

Chorus 2
oh it’s like, i’m made for it
in my feels, your silhouette / afraid it
i can’t steer, away from it
i can’t steer

Bridge
And I picture us in a thawing car,
Watch snow land on the hood
Where headlights turn the snow to stars
When I felt understood
Thought I always would

Chorus
Oh it’s like, I’m made for it,
In my feels, a silhouette
Always hear the irony,
Too contrite, for autonomy
I can’t steer, away from it,
I can't steer
