Clairo - Bags (Lyrics)

"Clairo’s music is lackadaisical and charming, full of candid observations that feel plucked from a friend’s iPhone notes. (...)

“Bags,” Clairo’s strongest song to date, ups the ante significantly. She delivers oblique, stream-of-consciousness lyricism about a deteriorating relationship, singing in a characteristic deadpan that seems to contradict the emotional weight of lines like, “Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself,” and, “Can you see me using everything to hold back?” But the instrumentals tell a different story; unlike the gauzy, synth-heavy wash that usually cocoons her vocals, “Bags” is sonic splatter paint. (...)

With the dewy turbulence of a monsoon rain, “Bags” marks a new kind of Clairo energy." -- Pitchfork, Vrinda Jagota, May 24 2019

Edit: there's a little mistake in the lyrics at 1:17, it's "walking out the door with your bags" instead of "every second counts", sorry for that!

The lyrics are official.

♪ lyrics ♪

Every second counts,
I don’t want to talk to you anymore
All these little games
you can call me by the name I gave you yesterday

Every minute counts,
I don’t want to watch TV anymore
Can you figure me out?
Just doin this to waste more time on the couch

Can you see me I’m waiting for the right time
I can’t read you but if you want, the pleasure’s all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back
I guess this could be worse
Walking out the door with your bags
x4

[Instrumental]

Pour your glass of wine
Mitchell told me I should be just fine
Cases under the bed
Spill it open let it rush to my head

I don’t want to be forward
I don’t want to cut corners
savor this with everything I have inside me
I’m not the type to run
I know that we’re having fun
But what’s the rush? Kissing and my cheeks are so flushed

Tell you how i felt
Sugar coated melting in your mouth
Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself
Know you’d make fun of me
x4

[TheLilKay]

I've heard this song was inspired on having a lgbt+ crush on someone. That brought tears to my eyes, I cried a lot that night. So many memories have been unlocked. I suffered a lot in life, and I'm so young. Stay strong people. Idk what to say.

[otherranch]

Idk why but this song makes me wanna cry

[svnna]

Every second counts
I don't wanna talk to you anymore, and
All these little games
You can call me by the name I gave you
Yesterday, yeah
Every minute counts
I don't wanna watch TV anymore, yeah
Can you figure me out?
Just doin' to waste more time on the couch
Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time
I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back?
I guess this could be worse
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Pour your glass of wine
Mitchell told me I should be just fine, yeah
Cases under the bed
Spill it open, let it rush to my head
I don't wanna be forward, I don't wanna cut corners
Savor this with everything I have inside of me
I'm not the type to run, I know that we're having fun
But what's the rush? Kissing, then my cheeks are so flushed
Tell you how I felt
Sugar coated melting in your mouth
Pardon my emotions
I should probably keep it all to myself
Know you'd make fun of me
Know you'd make fun of me
Know you'd make fun of me
Know you'd make fun of me
Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time
I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back?
I guess this could be worse
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
Walkin' out the door with your bags
