Backwoods & memories

(Verse 1)

Bass still ringing in my spine

Low ceiling, heat, lost in time

Bodies moving, sweat and light

I felt alive for half the night

You texted “where you at?”

I said “out with my girls” like that was true

I didn’t lie to hurt you

I just needed room

(Chorus)

I felt free in a crowded room

Lonely the second I left with you

Back room memories stick like glue

I was myself before I was “we”

(Verse 2)

Nobody asking me to be smaller

Nobody pulling me back inside

Just rhythm, breath, and strangers

Who didn’t need me to explain my mind

I danced like I wasn’t holding anything

Like I didn’t owe anyone pain

Then the lights came on

And so did my name

(Outro)

Funny how everything feels louder

When it’s temporary
