mxmtoon - prom dress (audio)

ok so i literally crashed the outside of a real prom for this visualizer and sat on the steps in front of the line as people murmured "i think i follow her on tiktok"!!!!! i was sitting on those steps for a severely uncomfortable amount of time and still don't even know which school's prom it was, so pretty please push the like button

follow mxmtoon:

lyrics:
I’m nearing the end of my fourth year
I feel like I’ve been lacking, crying too many tears
Everyone seemed to say, “It was so great”
But did I miss out, was it a huge mistake

I can’t help the fact I like to be alone
It might sound kinda sad but that’s just what I seem to know
I tend to handle things usually by myself
And I can’t ever seem to try and ask for help

I’m sitting here, crying in my prom dress
I’d be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Thought I’d get to them, but no I didn’t
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
But now I’m sitting on the floor and all I want to do is run

I keep collections of masks upon my wall
To try to stop myself from revealing it all
Affecting others is the last thing I would do
I keep to myself though I want to break through

I hold so many small regrets
And what ifs down inside my head
Some confidence it couldn’t hurt me
My demeanor is often misread

I’m sitting here, crying in my prom dress
I’d be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Thought I’d get to them, but no I didn’t
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
But now I’m sitting on the floor and all I want to do is run

All I wanna do is run
All I wanna do is run
All I wanna do is run

I’m sitting here, crying in my prom dress
I’d be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
How did I get here? I need to know

I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Thought I’d get to them, but no I didn’t
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
But now I’m sitting on the floor and all I want to do is run
All I wanna do is run

_Mxmtoon sitting alone awkwardly, surrounded by other people having a good time_

*I felt that*

[raccoomtime]

did anyone notice the giggle at the end oh my god that shit was so precious

[toriii]

Her: *sitting on the floor*
Me: She doesn't even go here.

[babettecrumlish]

The public: relatable songs?

Mxmtoon: My specialty

[Konstellationed]

God damn Maia, as a dude who didn't go to prom you making me feel a whole lotta ways 😭😭😭


Love the vibe, however I'm now dreading the tiktoks that may come out of this oml

[jasminhernandez]

Me when I fell asleep on the couch and woke up on the bed

[AliAli-keys]

Brooo, if and when her and Cavetown actually collab. Our whole indie worlds will be BLESSED

[taylorbailey]

This is definitely different from your other music...but it’s still sounds just as good! I love this

[auroramontano]

nobody:
me an 8th grader : CRYING IN MY PROM DRESS, I’D BE THE PROM QUEEN OF CRYING WAS A CONTEST
very relatable

[_taiyaki_]

I’m so happy that cavetown produced it :)

[doudsnf]

Can we talk about how normal you look like when your just crashing someone elses prom

[alias]

holy that takes alot of gut to go at random school and just sit there alone-

[yeehaw]

Me: is in university
Maia: prom dress
Me: UGH RELATABLE! I HATE high school! Can’t wait to graduate 😔

[thynameismickle]

How can something make me sad and wanna dance at the same time, I have mixed emotions.

[ameliepoys]

producers: how relatable do you want this to be?
mxmtoon: _yes_

[CoDotco]

This is going to be one of my guilty pleasure songs that I can't play in front of my friends. This song is an honest bop.

If the video didn’t have audio, it would literally just be a date in middle school. Lmfao
