Retrograde
Lyrics
You said, "I can't take no more"
Lyin' by the sycamore
And I know
We've both been here before
You said, "Fuck, let's leave the blame"
But heartache always feels the same
And I know
We've both been here before
Oh, here I am, settled in at your house
Broken blinds keep the light comin' out
And I am just the shape I'm in
Ooh, here I am, settled in, crying out
Finding all the things that I can't do without
Oh, I am giving in
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Retrograde
Standing, staring straight ahead
Listening when Stevie says
Mm, "Come out of the darkness"
Feeling all I've ever known
Fall away and letting go
Oh, come out of the darkness
Oh, here I am, settled in on your floor
Quietly, all the world outside your door
And I am reckoning
Oh, here I am, settled in, freaking out
You bring me in to help me, let me get me out
Oh I, I, I
I'm in retrograde
I'm in retrograde
Oh, if only I could give in, if I could get out
Only I could break in, if you could let me out
Only I could let go, if I could sit out
If only I could get back, if I could let me out
Oh, I'm in retrograde
Yeah, mm
I'm in retrograde, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
