about

I entered the covid pandemic an extrovert and exited an introvert. I was suddenly overwhelmed in crowds, unable to make the most basic of small talk, second guessing my body language and crying in the middle of the supermarket because of decision paralysis. I’d never experienced social anxiety until then and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was questioning every belief I’d ever held, struggling with my personal relationships and I crashed at the end of each day in a heap from overthinking. I really had to work through a lot to get back to “me” and writing this song was the start of that journey. For some of the production, I was really feeling some icons from my teens for this one (Blink 182, New Found Glory, Mayday Parade) alongside more current faves (The Beths, Pinegrove)

lyrics

Ever since we started going out again
I could swear my mouths been dry
Coz every little weed that I’d been working on
Is now impossible to hide

And I’m crying when I least expect it
Hiding in a homeware section
Trying to keep my head from falling off
Even sex is now a source of tension
Struggling with my own redemption
Drowning in an antiseptic wash

Could you tell me what it feels like to be happy in
A crowd again
Used to find it all so easy now I’m crashing
After anything
(Ooo)

Ever since we started going out again
I’ve been overthinking
The internet exacerbates the state
I’m in Still my screen time’s rising
And I’m sleeping in when I should get up
Who said 32’s old enough
To know what you are and what you’re not
Sends me west to think my parents had three kids by now
And i’m still forgetting bags when I go do the big shop

Could you tell me what it feels like to be happy in
A crowd again
Used to find it all so easy now I’m crashing
After anything
(Ooo)

Am I sick?
Or do I just need to get used to this?
I feel sick
How could anybody get used to this
So scared of losing it all again
Think I’ll hide away a bit longer then

Could you tell me what it feels like to be happy in
A crowd again
Used to find it all so easy now I’m crashing
After anything
I’m crashing
After anything
Don’t you know I’m crashing
After anything
I’m crashing
(Ooo)
