Lyrics ~
i’m trying to forgive myself for things i didnt do
for words i didn’t say and things i didn’t choose
spending every day decomposing in my room
i’m not okay but there’s nothing i can do

i’m tryna love the person i was when i was born
hating on a kid doesn’t serve me anymore
sylvanians making stories on the floor
mum and dad in love like its 1994

say you’re coming around
i need you lately everything’s been getting me down
the kids have grown up i feel like i’m stuck
but i dont wanna catch up right now

i’m tryna get a better sense
of what i’m worth
‘cause i’ve been on the fence
and in the dirt
taking it easy
but i forgot i have a job
and nothing ever stops so

say you’re coming around
i need you lately everything’s been getting me down
the kids have grown up i feel like i’m stuck
but i dont wanna catch up right now

say you’re coming around
i need you lately everything’s been getting me down
i broke a glass on the floor it was the last straw
its like i woke up on the wrong side of town

say you're coming around
i need you lately everything's been getting me down
i felt so much older than the kids round the corner but i feel so much younger now
overtook them all and slowed back down
blamed a child in a daisy crown

"I try to love the person I was when I was born, hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore" Dude... same.

[sleepiiie]

THIS SONG IS EXACTLY HOW IVE BEEN FEELING THE PAST WEEK, or atleast how i view the song!! it's right around my anniversary of being diagnosed with type one diabetes, and every year for a few months i get really depressed around that time but it keeps getting worse every year. i often just wish i was a kid again, and how sentimental i am doesn't help with that. but ROBIN TO THE RESCUE AGAIN!!! he somehow knows what i'm feeling. :, )

[MayzEvilCornrrr]

The lyric “blamed a child in a daisy crown” hits painfully close to home for me for some reason

[RKruemel]

"Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck
But I don't wanna catch up right now"

shit the second line hit me like a ton of bricks!!!! had to stop the song and just sit with how much I feel like that for a moment

[finallysomeoneletmeouttamycage]

if there’s one thing i know for sure, it’s that cavetown will never make a bad song

[fernsonantlers]

"blamed a child in a daisy crown" gives me an emotion that is so strong and i dont know what to do with it

Lyrics <3

I'm trying to forgive myself for things I didn't do
For words I didn't say and things I didn't choose
Spending every day decomposing in my room
I'm not okay, but there's nothing I can do

I'm trying to love the person I was when I was born
Hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore
Sylvanians making stories on the floor
And my mom and dad in love like it's 1994

Say you're comin' around, I need you lately
Everything's been getting me down
Yeah, the kids have grown up, I feel like I'm stuck
But I don't wanna catch up right now

I'm trying to get a better sense of what I'm worth
'Cause I've been on the fence and in the dirt
Taking it easy
But I forgot I have a job and nothing ever stops, so

Say you're comin' around, I need you lately
Everything's been getting me down
Yeah, the kids have grown up, I feel like I'm stuck
But I don't wanna catch up right now

Say you're comin' around, I need you lately
Everything's been getting me down
I broke a glass on the floor, it was the last straw, it's like I
Woke up on the wrong side of town

Say you're comin' around, I need you lately
Everything's been getting me down
I felt so much older than the kids 'round the corner
But I feel so much younger now
Overtook them, won't slow back down
Blame the child in a daisy crown

I don't know why everytime I listen to Cavetown, I feel seen and heard. Your songs make me feel validated. It has been years since I started supporting you and I still share your music to anyone who deserves it. Thank you for being there in some of my darkest days and coldest nights, Robin! I promise to support you, always ✨

[yourlocal_moth]

I love The Little Prince and I love Cavetown even more. I’m so exited to see them put together in the same song!! I can’t wait for this masterpiece :D (edit: this was written before it premiered btw)

[queerdinonugget]

1. What a BEAUTIFUL cinematography, scenarios and animations!
2. I relate to the song in a personal level (and almost every other song for Robbie)cause I've been feeling like this the past couple months, but Cavetown's music is a constan that always gives me comfort in my down moments, the lyrics are juts amazing ♡
3. The experience to trying to love the person that you were before being yourself is always hard, but it's really important and Robbie portraits that magnificently and also experience of growing up while feeling different from the other kids .
4. I'm sending tons of love from here to all people that was involved in the making of this wholesome song and all fans that like me enjoy the great job that this guy made!!
❤️🍋

Imagine being born in 1994 and cavetown is your favourite singer and now it feels like this song its made just for you

[carmosilva]

I feel like everyone around me knows what they're doing with their life except for me and this song perfectly describes that, thank you Robbie 🍄🌈🐸

[sovlmc]

a bad cavetown song doesnt exist and i stand by that ❤

[mistygraves]

"I felt so much older than the kids round the corner, but I feel so much younger now." REALLY hit home with me! I had pretty abusive parents growing up and I was forced to mask my autism, and take a big part in household duties such as, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids, cause I was the eldest "girl" but I'm trans and have been going through second puberty, cut off toxic family and have stopped masking almost full time (still do at work) I was always told I was so mature for my age. and I always had so many responsibilities, that i felt so much older than my peers, but now they all have kids, careers, and own houses, and I am intimidated by how together people my age are 😳 not that I want to be settling down like that rn tho

[brackt_exe]

I love all of Cavetown's songs, but I Especially love the direction he's been taking with his music lately; it makes my brain purr. And the Lyricsss 🤌🤌

[sparkledog-husbandy]

childhood trauma and abuse recovery anthem. I needed this this week

[keirab]

I can already tell this is gonna be my new favorite song :)

LYRICS!!!!

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to forgive myself for things I didn't do
The words I didn't say and things I didn't choose
Spending everyday decomposing in my room
I'm not okay, but there's nothing I can do

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to love the person I was when I was born
Hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore
Sylvanians making stories on the floor
And my mom and dad in love like it's 1994
[Chorus]
Say you're comin' around
I need you lately, everything's been getting me down
Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck
But I don't wanna catch up right now

[Verse 3]
I'm trying to get a better sense of what I'm worth
'Cause I've been on the fencе and in the dirt
Taking it easy
And I forgot I had a job and nothing evеr stops so

[Chorus]
Say you're comin' around
I need you lately, everything's been getting me down
Yeah, the kids are growing up, I feel like I'm stuck
But I don't wanna catch up right now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Say you're comin' around
I need you lately, everything's been getting me down
I broke a glass on the floor, it was the last straw
It's like I woke up on the wrong side of town
[Chorus]
Say you're comin' around
I need you lately, everything's been getting me down
I felt so much older than the kids 'round the corner
But I feel so much younger now

[Outro]
Overtook the months, slow back down
Put a child in a daisy crown
