LYRICS:
I start my day on a tiny screen
Try to connect the words they’re right in front of me
I walk to work out on the city streets
No one speaks to me, their stony faces beat

Never have I felt so goddamned lost and alone
Are you my friend, are you there for me
Can you come to my house, I”ll tell you everything

I need you more than I ever have
Because the future’s here
And we can’t go back

I end my day on a tiny screen
I try to reach for you through the empty sheets
I close my eyes, and try to find some piece
Of what’s left of us, and who we used to be
Tell me if you feel like you are lost and alone
I am your friend, you can cover me
Just come over here, and give me everything

the absolute privilege of having heard them perform this song live, Dublin '20

[FriskyPossum]

Wonderful song. Sleater-Kinney=always evolving!

[torcer]

Wow... a lot of life was put into that melancholy song.

[Genny-Zee]

I like this. Sleater-Kinney trying new things. Would love to see them tackle an r&b album next.

[burgerburgerman]

Pretty good being a person that loves Sleater-Kinney AND St. Vincent equally right now. This is rad.

[CruisingDystopia]

Corin is destroying me right now, and putting me back together as a better person. She is golden and is killing it!

[sarahblaby]

Love it. Love Corin's vocals and the whole vibe. cant wait for the album!

[anjiedoesitmatter]

I heard this at work. My bf was right. “ music is always new to someone who has never heard of an artist “ 🎶🎶🎶

[Xjasminaaaaa]

I love this sound and song. Can't wait for the album coming out on my 23rd birthday!

[stuartpowell]

Love this and hurry on home. On the strength of these the albums gonna be great

[MoonsickStridor]

I don't think I've heard Corin sing in that low a register. Loving this gothic post-punk sound.

[LuvLight]

I just seen y’all on the Tonight Show y’all were great

[CassandraJoyComplex]

Bravo! I'm very excited for the new album!

[paulcantu]

Well this is so cool and awesome and this is so good AND YALL ROCK and I just found y'all's YouTube channel and I cannot wait for more all new videos from you all thank you very much AND THIS ROCKS AND I LIKE THIS AND THIS IS THE BEST AND WOW YALL ARE SO COOL 😘😍💞😊😁😀😇 XOX

[teepetz]

My selfish take: It's only rock and roll, but (it does a lot to sustain me)...and my sincere best to all, but thank you Janet for continuing to be an inspiring beacon of integrity and truth in these dark times we live in.

[Avalyn_Wu]

This is definitely a deep album cut sort of track. I'll wait to hear it in context of the album. Liking it even if it's super different!

[ABrookeByTheTree]

The aesthetics are very reminiscent of the artwork for Beach House's 7, and that's just fine with me! Art inspires art. I really like the angle Sleater Kinney is playing at musically. Lyrically hits home. Can't wait to hear more! <3

[titaewaz]

I love this sound St V brought to the table. You gals are constantly breaking down walls and I love it!

[heiligemariamuttergottes]

This is so great! Never stop making music!

[saralove]

I am loving this so much. I can't wait for the tour
