Cavetown – 'Dear' (Official Audio)

Cavetown's "Dear" from the album Dear.
© 2018 Cavetown

Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like
A thing that makes them stand in front of the sink
With tears in their eyes
Everyone's got a thing, maybe they won't cry
Maybe they can't even bear to utter the words
The doctor prescribed
I won't even lie, I'm screaming inside all the time
It seems like a breeze, it feels like a dream
But I don't wanna die

She can't stop hurting herself and
He won't look in your eyes
Friend, I knew every time you were lying
And he got himself messed up with the wrong guys

Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like
A thing that makes them double-think when
They're standing at the railway crossing lights
Gotta stop forgetting the fact
It's not just me in this goddamn world
My brain is a child, I will love him for that
But don't lose sight of your baby girl

I don't wanna wake up sometimes
And I don't wanna sing
And I don't care what happens tonight
As long as I feel something

"But I don't wanna die" really struck a chord with me.

[bleaky]

Baby Robbie's outfit is extremely aesthetically pleasing.

[marcronison]

just thought to myself that i need to take a shit ton of pictures of my future baby in case they need a juicy album cover

[jolowkeylowvel]

Me getting notification: Oh fish this should be a pretty happy song
Me listening to the song: * uncontrollably sobbing* Why does it Hurt So Much

[ichliebebrotmann]

Cavetown is amazing. He puts so much effort into his work and does it with passion.

[somethingcool]

*puts sound canceling earbuds in to get the full effect of the beauty that is Robbie*

[jocelyn]

"But don't lose sight of your baby girl" Hit me in the heart the exact same way it did when my father told 10 year old me he never wanted to see me again (I'm 16 now, he's kept his word. Haven't seen him.) So yeah I'm in tears but it a gorgeous song

[xyddam]

*everyones got a thing, a thing they don’t like* and itd better not be this song or I will physically fight them

[AidynNichi]

I seriously can't stress enough how your music gives me a breath of fresh air when I constantly feel suffocated by anxiety and depression. Thank you.

[vxmprmony]

“She can’t stop hurting herself and he won’t look in her eyes”

* nervous noises *

[ironicallymacaroni]

i always love how pretty your songs are. you are an amazing musician, cavetown. 💚

[avagrace]

What a wonderful thing to wake up to 👌😊

Btw I’ll be singing exclusively this song for a few months

[BABYYVOMIT]

“A thing that makes them double think when there standing at the railroad crossing lights” and “gotta stop forgetting the fact that it’s not just me in this god damn work” are my favorite lines there so meaningful

Bootyful song by the way

[GTSCRD]

Hey, I felt the need to write this to say thank you, Robbie. A year ago this song saved my life, and it's a very important song to me. Keep doing what you love, dude, you're a great person.

[mozzy]

Your songs are simply one of my favorite things on this planet
