LYRICS:
We're in a tin box and I've got a toothpick
And I have been poking the air
Somebody gave you a knife for your birthday
I think I know who but that's not my affair

So I dance down the street like I'm Miss Angelina
My legs are so grounded and strong
And I'm not afraid that if I am the skipper
I'll steer my flesh into the bog

But is there something in the movies that's better than my love?
Is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

I carried around a stuffed pig in my arms
And I did it until I was five
I got it from someone who died of attention
And lived an extraordinary life

But I gave it to you on the day that we met
'Cause I already trusted you best
And everyone dies but they shouldn't die young
Anyway, you're invited to set

And is there something in the movies that's better than my love?
Is there something in the movies that's better than my love?

I left you in life 'cause you don't need my pen
To embellish your noteworthy parts
I only write songs about things that I'm scared of
So here, now you're deathless in art
You've got this and the movies and also my love
You can have it all, baby, I'm giving it up

yes i came here for maya hawke and yes i added this to my spotify ITS SO GOOD ITS BEAUTIFUL

[jackhouser]

...and THIS, folks, is how you end an album

[Maya-hukn]

Someone very important to me died at 26 due to an overdose. The lyrics “everyone dies but they shouldn’t die young” hits hard.

[SneakyCheeseThief]

What an album. My god. She is pretty young to have written a song that absolutely floored me and made me start balling out of nowhere. I’m a pretty jaded and tired 39 year old guy. That’s quite a feat

[dafnebeniz]

The ending when Charlie finally sees Samia was so sweet! I love the art that the three of you make; Samia: your lyrics and angelic voice are a gift to this world, I'm so glad you exist!

[annatho]

I found this song in my discover weekly on Spotify and now I'm obsessed. This and Django literally make me cry and songs don't do that to me so good job.

[victoriavischidacruz]

I'M NOT EVEN FINISHED BUT I CAN'T STOP CRYING that's beautiful

[athenakaterina]

a song hasnt made me cry like this in so long

[compellededits]

to avoid a cringey over share in the comment section of a music video ill just say this song hits so close to home to my niche breakup, in a weird literal sense. im really happy i found this song.

[SneakyCheeseThief]

The conscious part of my brain is like, “I’m not sure I quite get this video” ... and then my soul is like, “nah dude, you get it”.

[heiheireidee]

CHAAAARLIE !!! Samia and him are beautiful together !!

[charlotter]

I really want this stuff to blow up, your music is just so beautiful and well written

[jakeminch]

it’s been a year and i’m still trying to figure out what she whispers in his ear

[logandorics]

This is one of the best songs ever written

[axelgrind]

Samia, you're on my list of great artists found while quarantine. I hope I get the chance to see you play live!

[heiheireidee]

FINALLY something good during this quarantine !

[nicholassapienza]

[sarahmcgonigle]
