Lyrics:

5 years, you’ve been with him
Could you tell me whose time are you wasting?
The fruit’s gone blue, the well’s gone dry
She’s breaking 22 asking who am I?

Commiserating
In 2 blinks she’s onto the next fling
That’s all it took, to say goodbye
He scrambles for the hook but she’s off the line

She’s been waiting for the chance
Maybe she’s never lived
She told him she wouldn’t leave
Then she did

He’s not smiling with his eyes again
She said he doesn’t want her he just needs a friend
He’s only getting nervous now the rope is being severed
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

She’s laughing when he’s not around
He begs for her attention when he’s feeling down
She only reaches for him when he’s underneath the weather
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

He always cared, but he’s had enough
Cause all this constant fighting doesn’t feel like us
He knows it’s time to move on
She’s been waiting for this moment for so long

She never shared, why she felt so rough
She broke another heart so she could fall in love
She doesn’t give a shit if it sounds wrong
She’s fucking city boys to her favourite song

She’s been waiting for the chance
Maybe she’s never lived
She told him she wouldn’t leave
Then she did

And maybe he wanted more
Imagine the look on her face
If he’s sleeping on the floor
It seems he’s found his place
There’s no point in him anymore
She needs to find some space Tripping out of the back door
He says

I fell for someone new
But she’s just another girl that looks like you
What’s love if it’s not true
It’s just another girl that looks like you

He’s not smiling with his eyes again
She said he doesn’t want her he just needs a friend
He’s only getting nervous now the rope is being severed
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

She’s laughing when he’s not around
He begs for her attention when he’s feeling down
She only reaches for him when he’s underneath the weather
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

I fell for someone new
But she’s just another girl that looks like you
What’s love if it’s not true
It’s just another girl that looks like you

Dude James could make anything and I would listen to it, he just has such a unique style

[cinnamonn]

this type of indie/alternative rock really suits jimbos vocals i love this song and where has everyone gone gonna stream this ep till i drop

[Avery-lvcp]

BRO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ART?! lots of references to gold, and wake up. Also the yellow smash banner at the bottom left.

[kyaaron]

The little Easter eggs about wake up, gold and such in this animation are fucking incredible jimbo. This ep is stunning and I will play it on loop for the weekend so I know the words :), keep up the good work, you've only produced bangers

[kastro]

the 0:23 part reminds me of glad you came by the wanted :)

[ebonykimball]

'She broke another heart so she could fall in love' - Loves it James 💜

[Bakuuu]

She never shared, why she felt so rough
She broke another heart so she could fall in love
She doesn't give a shit if it sounds wrong
She's fucking city boys to her favourite song

Damn these fr hit close to home, , ,

[arthurkerry]

I've just finished listening to where has everyone gone, this is such good timing wtf.
Also this is amazing 👏

[RosileeJe]

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇 Grape time grape time

Actually though that guitar line in the intro/chorus is already just living in my head, what a banger! Can't wait to listen to listen to the other new songs

[tristanbamford]

James has always been a great guitarist, every project he releases has amazing instrumentation. Even better still, he seems to learn more about his voice with every drop. I can't wait to see what masterpiece is to follow but for now this EP will be on loop. IT SLAPPS

[CuClflame]

LOVE THE SONG!! Also did anyone else notice the chip bags have the smash button and the cereal says Gold on it?

[youngandmeanace]

BANGER AFTER BANGER!! I've been listening to your music so often, and I'm glad I have something new to add to my playlist! Wonderful work, sir!

[iambored]

I can't wait until I can stream this on Spotify, on repeat, for multiple days.
