Walk Me Home

The excitement and the anxiety
They walked me home
Now that’s for me to summon
In a thousand lovers
Although that might be wrong
Although it might be wrong
Oh, it’s such a steady gait to nowhere
Wearing your shrunken t-shirt on that
Awful sunny Monday
When I got
Caught in a silver haze
Which was good for days
But then it wasn’t enough
So I took a melody to pass the time
And keep inside my mind
Things you don’t wanna hear
Yeah, I wrote some memories to pass the time
Kee-keep within my hands
Stuff that you needn’t hear
And I don’t remember what size it was
But I won’t ask, no I won’t ask
I just tell my friend Sofía
‘I know it sounds crazy,
But I think my outfit’s cursed’
So she read my cards
Talked to me about fabrics
And compared men with coffee
As I laugh
She says I’m sexier now
She means ‘now’, not ‘right now’
She wishes she could explain
To her lover who’s got a balcony in Paris
He likes to watch superhero films
She says not all of them are so bad
Oh, it’s such a steady gait to nowhere
When all that comforts you is to pretend
Someone’s in control
Even if it’s the supervillains
I thought you dated some plain guy
Who’d take you out to dine
And you met him online
But it’s no soft silk, just cotton
That’s been damaged by the use
And it feels like you’re stuck
With that underwear
You didn’t even get to choose
Oh
Won’t you walk-
Won’t you walk me home?
Oh
Won’t you walk-
Won’t you walk me home?

I know they don't want me
I know they don't like me
Why do I keep coming back to them?
I know I can't trust them
I know they'll just hurt me
Why do I keep coming back to them?
Not again
Sh-
It's out and it bites back and it smirks
Oye y por qué cantas
Dime por qué cantas
Por qué mierda cantas en inglés?
Eh
No he pensado mucho en la hegemonía cultural
Así me gusta
Ponte a hablar tu idioma
Si el gringo se asoma
Seguro vas a sacar más clics
Sh-
Ca-ching ca-ching
Stream
I know they don't want me
I know they don't like me

¿Cuánto por la sesión?
No la quiero yo pagar
¿Cómo que no viene incluida en mi seguridad social?
Mirando el futuro
Desde tu bola de cristal
Quiero que me cuentes algo que yo no sepa ya
Como si alguna vez
Podré animarme a darme aire
O si algún día podría cambiar para mejor
Hay una casa perdida al borde de la ciudad
Vamos a ver si la podemos recuperar
¿Y para qué vergas voy?
No tienes llaves para abrir
No, no, no, no, no, no
No creo que valga la pena
Ponme atención
No quiero repetirme
¿A qué voy yo?
Si para allá no se puede pasar
En la casa hay una frontera que no puedo cruzar
Marca el terreno donde el tiempo deja de pasar
Ponme atención
No quiero repetirme
¿A qué vine yo?
Si para allá no se puede pasar
¿Qué es tan valioso?
Tras la frontera está la esfera que todo lo dirá
Vamos a ver si la podemos recuperar

Google steps into my life way too often
It’s scaring the crap right out of me
But at the same time I couldn't care less
See, what’s the point of privacy?
The memories you tell yourself
Or is it someone else narrating?
This might sound a little paranoid
At least it kinda does to me
But I can’t help but feel
What I can see is not that far
How would I know?
I don’t know!
No need to know
Or speculate
Still I suspect
Still I suspect
Ooh
Still I suspect
Wish I had something to say
I wish you’d texted me a little sooner
We would go out for a ride
We’d be friends just like before
Things got a little out of hand
But oh oh oh
I don’t really wanna kno o ow
What you’ve been up to of late
Or who’ve you’ve been hanging out with
And ooh ooh ooh
Even if I think of you
I’d rather just getchoo out of my head
Put on my Descendents tape
