about

Released in the midst of a global pandemic, this song charts the gentle frustrations and elations of a long-term romantic relationship. Doused in realism, with a sprinkling of resentment, we nevertheless find beautiful solace and mutual understanding in those well-equipped to irritate us the most.

Released with an "Official Quarantine Video", as filmed by the artist and his mother, that you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L696xa3wUow

lyrics

// Lyrics:

I’m your longest winter
I’m your fingernail splinter
I’m a holiday where all it does it rain

I’m the dirt on your shoeses
I’m the hurt in your bruises
But I’m yours and I’m here, here to stay

I’m your angry mother
I’m your dumb wee brother
I’m those kids at school who used to call you gay

I’m the prick in your flower
I’m your last working hour
But I’m yours and I’m here, here to stay

But if you ask me
You will find
That you too, are all these things in kind
And I’m here to stay
And you’re still mine

I’m your reheated dinner
I’m old photos where you’re thinner
I’m your favourite white shirt when it gets stained
I’m your unpaid taxes
I’m your overdue waxes
But I’m yours and i’m here, here to stay

A slow wireless connection
A limp lifeless erection
I’m a tired love song full of cliches

I’m your two weeks sober
Then your worst hangover
But I’m yours and I’m here, here to stay

But if you ask me
You will find
That you too
Are all these things in kind
And I’m here to stay
And you’re still mine
You’re still mine
