Martha
Regretful Reflections: Martha's Impact on a Decade
Lyrics
You're sitting on the armchair
You are seated on the armchair.
Coffee table on your right
A coffee table is on your right.
That august 1st smells of red wine
The atmosphere of August 1st is filled with the scent of red wine.
And whiskey on ice
Whiskey on ice is present.
City lights saw us drinking through the living room window Speakers played your music all night long
City lights witnessed us drinking through the living room window. Speakers played your music all night long.
You strum some chords and sang for me
You played some chords and sang for me.
You looked me in the eyes and never looked away
You maintained eye contact throughout; you are a show-off.
You're such a show off
I dislike that I love the way you say my name.
And I hate I love the way you say my name
Martha, observe what I accomplished.
Martha see what I did?
After 10 years, what do you seek from me?
It's been 10 years, what is it that you want from me?
Despite thinking I had learned my lesson, I find myself in a similar situation. I tend to forgive the unforgivable, hoping to forget, but it doesn't always work.
And I thought I had learned my lesson but here I am again I tend to forgive the unforgivable and desperately hope I'll forget It doesn't always work though and that's why
It doesn't always work, Martha, and that's why I anticipate regret.
It doesn't always work though and Martha that's why I know this I'll regret
I wish to ask you sincerely: What do you see in me? However, I no longer care.
I'd really like to ask you:
I'm gazing out the window as we converse, primarily because it hurts less.
What is it that you see in me?
Your posters on the wall remind me of the day we first met.
But I guess I just don't give a damn anymore
Martha, observe what I achieved after 10 years.
I'm staring out the window as we talk
Despite thinking I had learned my lesson, I find myself in a similar situation. I tend to forgive the unforgivable, hoping to forget, but it doesn't always work.
Basically because it hurts less
It doesn't always work, Martha, and that's why I anticipate regret.
Your posters on the wall
Our chemistry is too strong to ignore.
Remind me of the fucking day we met
An old lamp you bought somewhere fancy witnessed it all, as did Mac DeMarco.
Martha see what I did?
I walked back home and had my coffee on the go.
It's been 10 years, what is it that you want from me?
Martha, please avoid the same mistake I made.
And I thought I had learned my lesson but here I am again I tend to forgive the unforgivable and desperately hope I'll forget
Martha, trust me; it will all end up burning in flames.
It doesn't always work though and that's why
It doesn't always work, Martha, and that's why I anticipate regret.
It doesn't always work though and Martha that's why I know this I'll regret
-Our chemistry is way too strong to ignore
Our chemistry is way too strong to ignore.
That old lamp you bought somewhere fancy saw it all
That old lamp you bought somewhere fancy saw it all.
And so did Mac DeMarco
So did Mac DeMarco.
I walked back home
I walked back home.
Had my coffee on the go
I had my coffee on the go.
Martha please don't make the same mistake I made
Martha, please avoid the same mistake I made.
Martha please trust me it'll all end up burning in flames
Martha, trust me; it will all end up burning in flames.
It doesn't always work though and that's why
It doesn't always work, Martha, and that's why I anticipate regret.
It doesn't always work though and Martha that's why I know this I'll regret
