Lyrics:

Somebody take my keys, I'm in no shape for driving.
I made my bed, but I'll sleep anywhere, anywhere
Are you ashamed of me, or did you buy what I'm selling?
It won't last you long
It'll disappear

I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don't hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison I wanna spit
Bitter medicine
I think it's making me sick
Don't look up to me
I'm not as tall as you think
You see, I talk a big game
But it's bullshit

Somebody clean me up, it's a mess that I'm making
The pain is weak, but it spreads anyway, anyway
Is it a gift you give or something precious I'm taking?
Stolen sympathy
For all my worst mistakes

I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don't hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison I wanna spit
Bitter medicine
I think it's making me sick
Don't look up to me
I'm not as tall as you think
You see I talk a big game
But it's bullshit

Wake up babe, a monochrome version of Emilee from The Crane Wives just woke up in a colourless room.

[rileyhighline]

Me when I’m stuck in a giant cup of boba tea

[sparklelight]

Seeing Dan square up against giant mental illness bubbles with drumsticks is the highlight of my day

[monsiqx]

2 songs in the span of a month.. guys we are getting FED SO WELL OMGGG

[meepbeep]

Never thought I'd cry over 4 people popping balloons but okay this is how I'll start my day

[corvijord]

they are NOT beating the "ooh aah ahh" allegations

[leap]

me and the other band kids playing Splatoon with our instruments before the band director arrives:

[zero-g-lemonade]

"Is it a gift you give or something precious I'm taking" is such a raw line, it lives in my head rent free.

[welsh]

The fact they only curse in their songs when its absolutely necessary just makes them even more poetic, you guys are truly one of the greatest bands out there

[sof]

we bittered we medicined, and oh boy *nostalgic chuckle* did we crane wives

[august]

I like how the crane wives are always like: “let’s make the only song ever” and then they do

[thatboleyngirl]

Oh wow a new Crane Wives song. Hope this doesn't take over my mind for the next 2-6 weeks! (It definitely will)

[Aprill_TheFool]

WHOA MY GOD HEHEH CRANE WIVES! CRANE WIVES! CRANE WIVES!

[jinxhex]

[meriguild]

As someone who’s been around since safe ship, I am so excited to finally see music videos and lyric vids. I feel so privileged to see it happen in real time.

[BryceKatz]

I'm a simple man. I see new Crane Wives music & I click. I'm never disappointed.

[AT-rosu]

In my English Language class, we had to analyze a music video. Guess which one I chose! I analyzed EVERY SECOND of this thing and all the little things I noticed were JUST OMG YES, there are no words for how amazing these gals and guys are, thank you for making gorgeous music like this <3

[cornmazehater]

clawing at the bars of my enclosure im so fucking excited for

[pink.amaryllis]

me and the gang when we get attacked by balloons with a strange unidentified black substance inside them

[lemnbell]

OH MY GOSH YES, I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!!!
They played it at one of their shows last summer and I absolutely fell in love with it, I’ve been listening to a recording of it and now we’re gonna have the official version!!!!
I am definitely making an animation to this of one of my characters, it fits him too perfectly
I love you guys so much 🫶✨💖
