A song for a bittersweet summer.
Written in Mexico, recorded in Montreal.
Written in Mexico, recorded in Montreal.
lyrics
You sparkle and shine like broken glass.
(Chorus)
Lie in the sun let the tears dry out…
I’m not the one, let it all die out…
Too rich, too poor,
Spend the money, make some more,
In a mansion, in a flat,
Who’s gonna pay for that?
Going out, staying in,
Moving out, moving in,
Stand out, blend it,
Stressed out, cave in.
Work more, have fun,
Do nothing, get it done,
You’ve gotta choose or they’ll choose for you,
What food should I eat?
Cut the sugar, cut the meat,
Live slow, go fast,
How long will it last?
(Chorus)
Spit it out before my tongue dissolves in my mouth, before it all goes south,
Stuck her claws in you, like woah, how did I get here,
So hard to turn back with a path that’s ahead,
Momentum takes hold of your feet and your head,
It all starts unfolding, she’s coming after you,
You’re a bird on a fence and what did you do,
To deserve the attention,
How did it all go by so fast,
You sparkle and shine like broken glass.
(Chorus)
If you made her out of stone would you never be alone?
If you made her out of clay would she never go away?
If you let her out of sight would she still come back at night?
…
How did it all go by so fast,
You sparkle and shine like broken glass.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Lie in the sun let the tears dry out…
I’m not the one, let it all die out…

Going out, staying in,
Moving out, moving in,
Stand out, blend it,
Stressed out, cave in.
Work more, have fun,
Do nothing, get it done,
You’ve gotta choose or they’ll choose for you,
What food should I eat?
Cut the sugar, cut the meat,

If you made her out of clay would she never go away?
If you let her out of sight would she still come back at night?

You sparkle and shine like broken glass.
