lyrics

If you want me to let you down easy, I can’t
I don’t know if you’re better of here than I am
Please don’t ask me to hold back, don’t ask me a thing
‘Cause my heart is full of places I can’t reach

I was once like you are, just as sweet and naïve
With the mind of a child, and ears of a thief
Used to stay unaware of closing doors and misery
Now my heart is full of places I can’t reach

At the moment our eyes met
I felt regret for what was coming
The inevitable end
of your sweet youth

Oh if I could break these chains
I’d send you running
But I can’t deny myself the opportunity
for you to share this weight with me

All is selfish don’t you see
It’s not just me
There’s just no selfless deeds

So if you want me to let you down easy I can’t

Segall Smeagol
by Ty Segall

I've been listening to the original album (Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson) since forever and I've been listening to a lot of Ty Segall for the last couple of years. Best of both worlds! Eelke
