about

This song was written over the course of a blossoming "relationship" that ended before it truly ever began. As reflected in the lyrics, it started as a hopeful love song, then quickly turned into one of heartache and unrequited love.

I really wanted this song to feel more raw and analog than others of mine, so I played piano and bass, and I learned a lot of guitar just for this song. The entire process of writing and recording this song spanned over a year and a half, and all the changes and growth I've experienced since then all left their marks on this song. I hope you like it :)

lyrics

Verse 1

I changed my bedsheets to your favorite color
‘Cause I knew that you were coming over
Counting minutes till we see each other
Call you every word except “lover”

I’ve been talking way too much about my ex
And I don’t tell you how it bothers me to hear about the next
Man who will keep you company
I know that’s all you see in me

Chorus 1

But now my bedsheets smell like you
And I’m thinking in terms of two
All my friends, they seem to know about us

Now my bedsheets smell like you
Smells like cedar and deja vu
It reminds me how it feels to love
If you could call this love

Verse 2

I tried my best to be the man I thought you’d need
But all I am is just a friend to share a bed when you can’t sleep
But I wish I was more to you
Oh I wish I was more to you

Chorus 2

But now my bedsheets smell like you
I don’t know how I’ll get through
All these nights alone, they feel so cold

And now my bedsheets smell like you
I wish I knew just what to do
As I’m trying not to lose control

I’m losing control

Bridge

How the hell did I get it wrong?
I am trying to move on
But you touch me like I’m more than a friend

I feel so naive thinking you
Could see a future with me too
I wish I could take it all back again
And start at the end

Chorus 3

I have loved you for so long
But all I got was this fucking song
And this aching need to pass the time

‘Cause my bedsheets smell like you
And there’s nothing I could do
But to live with what you left behind
