I look in the mirror at my face sometimes
Feel like everything is out of place sometimes
How come I feel like I’m in a race sometimes?
Feeling like I wanna get away sometimes
Is it not enough for me to hate myself?
Maybe I should look out for my mental health
Letting go of every single hand I’ve held
‘Cause I’ve been feeling time has passed me by
I want to live until I feel alive
That’s it that’s all
That’s the curtain call
Let’s drink a little alcohol
It’s written on a bathroom stall
Maybe even block your call
Ooh I wanna fly, wanna fall
Ooh until I hit that wall
Like a cannonball
That’s it that’s all
I love the way that first feeling hits
The way the lyric of the chorus sits
The way my knife inside my hand just fits
I know I could never be the perfect bitch
Is it not enough for me to hate myself?
Maybe I should look out for my mental health
I guess I’m learning how to help myself
‘Cause all my life I spend my time on you
I’d love to hold myself the way you do
That’s it that’s all
That’s the curtain call
Let’s drink a little alcohol
Write it on a bathroom stall
Maybe even block your call
Ooh I wanna fly, wanna fall
Ooh until I hit that wall
Like a cannonball
That’s it that’s all
Always feel like I gotta keep my mouth shut
Might as well put me in a pair of handcuffs
‘Cause I always feel like I could say too much
Insecurity is like a constant crutch
Maybe I should give up on the life I know
Get a little peace out of the daily flow
Gotta learn to live and just let go
That’s it that’s all
That’s the curtain call
Let’s drink a little alcohol
Play a little basketball
Maybe even block your call
Ooh I wanna fly wanna fall
Ooh until I hit that wall
Like a cannonball
That’s it that’s all

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
