Lyrics:
Heading for the door
Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there

I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right

If ever there’s a time
If ever there’s a time that ain’t fair
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk just stay here
You know it’s just a fight

I know you wanna ride

If you’re never getting out of this mood
Forget you
If you’re drinking all your old man’s booze
He’ll get you
Forget you

Stop looking for a knife
Stop looking through the drawer it ain’t there
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk to drive just stay there
You know it’s just a fight

Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there

I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right

I know you wanna ride
I know you won the right

Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can't apologise
I can't apologise, you ain't there
I'm in it for the night
I'm in it for the night we had here
You know it don't feel right

If ever there's a time
If ever there's a time that ain't fair
I can't afford a lie
I can't afford to lay the night down
You're way too drunk to drive
You're way too drunk to drive, just stay there
You know it's just a fight
I know you wanna ride

If you're never getting out of this mood
Forget you
If you're drinking all your old man's booze
He'll get you, forget you

Stop looking for a knife
Stop looking through the drawer, it ain't there
I can't afford a lie
I can't afford to lay the night down
You're way too drunk to drive
You're way too drunk to drive, just stay there
You know it's just a fight

Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can't apologise
I can't apologise, you ain't there
I'm in it for the night
I'm in it for the night we had here
You know it don't feel right
I know you wanna ride
I know you won the right

Here from the cover of Linger and I am already a huge fan. I have such a deep emotional connection to type music and Royel Otis hits that nail right on the head. From everything I am hearing you guys will definitely be added to my daily playlist. ❤️

[yourhealthkick]

You know when the older generations say "they don't make music like this anymore". They just haven't discovered this or any other indie music yet.

[hudsongreeningmentor]

This song is special. It’s new but feels nostalgic. Reminds me of the indie music that was around 10-15 years ago, in a good way

[chickenkaraage]

Gives me the feeling that life is worth living

[ИдаСеменова-чп]

Royel Otis deserves the album of the year 2024.

[PatrickPierceBateman]

That feeling when you think it's time to sing, but it's not the right time to sing and you gotta wait 5 more seconds for the vocals: 1:45

[itsrainingagain]

he is so beautiful in a way that everytime you look at him he is even more beautiful

[cassandrapalmer]

Now that I have listened to their entire discography my brain chemistry isn't the same. I'm in love.

[benhobury]

His voice is like a silk pillow to my ears

[Riudan]

gosh those notes are like a crying guitar it's beautiful

[Wonderlvnd]

This song is the GOAT, honestly haven’t heard a song this good in years!!!

[paulnnate]

Thanks Royel Otis for bringing us beautiful music.

[jesss]

You guys never release a bad song, hits the vibe every time. This album is gonna be crazy 🔥

[victoriahos]

i actually can’t stop listening to this lately.. on repeat all the time

[jamesfoster]

My family & I saw these guys at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta this past weekend. I was personally there for other bands. My son wanted me to check them out, I had never heard them. I was captivated by their sound immediately. Definitely the best surprise and one of my favorite performances of the whole weekend. glad I saw them and now have a new band to follow.

[CH.I.L.L]

New anthem, parking farther away so I can listen in earbuds as I walk into work. Want to skip/walk but I'll just walk cool like him. I'll save the dancing for later alone in my room.

[jameskeyes]

They opened with this song in Madison WI last Saturday night. I had never heard anything from this band until recently. A great find.

[ixules]

I miss the early ‘00s rock music and this is taking me back in some way. Thank you.
