Listen:
‘Relapse’ is about old feelings coming back when you thought they were gone. It was inspired by my youth and the weekends at the skating rink with friends. It captures that sudden wave of memory that feels just as real as it did back then.
Lyrics
RELAPSE:
Relapse, got me feeling things
Got me touching things you knew
Didn’t knock one time
Just walked right in my head
Again and again
I said I moved on
But some lies are kind and you
You’re still somewhere
Buried in the back of my mind
I relapse when I taste what we were
In someone new and it don’t compare
I relapse when I catch myself
Looking for you in a stranger’s eyes
Rewind, every touch still plays
On a loop I can’t erase
You were careless, yeah
But I kept it all like it meant something anyway
You didn’t stay
But you never left
Your fingerprints still in my skin
I relapse when it gets too late
And my head don’t know how to shut you down
I relapse when the quiet talks
And your name’s the only sound around
Around
This ain’t love
It’s what’s left
Of trying too hard
To forget
I relapse, got me feeling things
I swore were gone, but here we are
I relapse, relapse, oh
Relapse
Got me feeling things
