Dumping U By TXT

by Fioraidh

about

I started to write this on the plane to Berlin, many years ago, but I hit a roadblock and decided to shelve it for a while. I finished it a couple of years later once I'd started learning drums and it was the first song I recorded using my first Roland kit. I since decided to re-record the entire thing from scratch and make it more polished.

lyrics

We've been together for six long days
And your toothbrush found it's place right next to mine
When I woke up in the night
I thought the moon was shining bright
But it was just your headlights burning in my drive

It may not seem that weird to you
But it scares the hell out of me
To see your face against my window
When I'm watching Judge Judy

So I'm dumping you by text
I know it's not the right thing to do
We started going out
And you misread me shout I love you

You gave me presents three days in
And you stared at me because I asked you why
It was a locket you'd inscribed
Without you, I would die
And when I opened it I saw your face inside

It may not seem that weird to you
But it scares the hell out of me
When your girlfriend thinks that three days
Is an anniversary

So I'm dumping you by text
I know it's not the right thing to do
We started going out
And you misread me shout I love you
And if you think our love is real
You're not accepting what you feel
Cos you know we're not good
So I'm dumping you by text
Though I know it's not the way that I should

I got call the other day
They were asking me
To come to pick up the flowers
It was a florist down the mall
Said my fiancee made the call
And the wedding they were planning for was ours

It may not seem that weird to you
But it scares the hell out of me
When a girl I hardly know
Shows bunny-boiling tendencies

So I'm dumping you by text
I know it's not the right thing to do
We started going out
And you misread me shout I love you
And if you think our love is real
You're not accepting what you feel
Cos you know we're not good
So I'm dumping you by text
Though I know it's not the way that I should

It just makes me worry
When I see your face
(You know your eyes are insane)
Blu-Takd to the photos of my family's events
(You didn't even know their names)
You say that you love me
That you'll always be mine
(Do I have a choice?)
But to pre-book the chapel
After six days is crossing the line

And if you think our love is real
You're not accepting what you feel
Cos you know we're not good
So I'm dumping you by text
Though I know it's not the way that I should
I'm dumping you by text
It's the safest way I think that I could
I'm dumping you by text
And I'm moving out of your neighbourhood

It's just me, all the way down. Although I do tend to write on my own and play all instruments myself, I have been known to pull in some collaborations.

I love to experiment, musically, and enjoy playing around with time signatures. ... more
