Melba Lyrics

Jeff Rosenstock Melba

After the storm breaks
Fluorescence radiates off
Skin overflowing with underexposure

This was a shit day
Can't power through the haze
I'm tired of waiting for it to be over

Let's go back to Melbourne
We can start over because
Mistakes get forgotten
Dreams can be remembered

After your heart breaks
Ears ring and colors fade
And everyone smiling feels like an intruder

And you're drawn
To the word that came out wrong
As if all along you weren't ignoring the truth:
You're a loser

Let's go back to Melbourne
We can start over because
Mistakes get forgotten
Dreams can be remembered

So go on
Listen to some stupid song
And pretend to sing along
And try remembering
What I'd think was smart when I was young
Where my memory makes me strong
But the record shows me dumb
And breaking everything
Oh, I paid the price for being wrong
I'm alone in this mess and a blizzard's coming on
I'm alone in this mess and a blizzard's coming on

Go back to Melbourne
We can start over
Mistakes get forgotten
Dreams get remembered
