it came as no surprise
that she plainly broke my heart
to try and hold a firefly
is to surely end up burnt
and the thing about it all, well
is that we’d never even kissed
maybe if we had
than i might be over this (oh)
the thing is
there’s only one world
how will i ever get better
when i’m chased down by you
through the sunlight
through ordinary days
whether it’s wrong or right,
day or night
--they remind me of you
and like a gushing fool
i held on to my love
i was thinking that that could be
enough for the both of us
and what a stupid thing to do
because she never even knew
all the things i tried or what i went through
for the two of us, the hope us
that one day she’d thank her lucky stars that i held on to (that i held on to us, to us woah)
Σtella's Greek-folk inflected pop sounds both vintage and subtly modern, like a lost gem sent from the magical nexus where 1966 meets 1986. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
