‹ Lyrics
This Afternoon
[Verse 1]
I opened up to you
Told you the truth of what I’m feeling
Told you the problems I’ve been dealing
I thought I could be free around you
Turns out it was the wrong thing to do
Went in for the kill like La Roux
You cut me off
And told me worrying would never make me good enough
[Chorus]
This afternoon
You got me confused
You’re saying I should be a rock
But when I’m rocked I’m like a boat
Yeah I gotta move
[Verse 2]
So I shut myself to you
Guess I gotta do it on my own again
We were never meant to be nothing more than friends
Couldn’t trust in you to help me find the answer
Couldn’t trust in you to hold me up if I climb the ladder
If I fall
Laughter
[Chorus]
This afternoon
You got me confused
You’re saying I should be a rock
But when I’m rocked I’m like a boat
Yeah I gotta move
Yeah I gotta move
[Bridge]
Like a gorgon you want to turn me to stone
But even a statue can still fall apart
You want to turn me to stone
But under pressure it crumbles and cracks and falls apart
[Chorus]
This afternoon
You got me confused
You’re saying I should be a rock
But when I’m rocked I’m like a boat
Yeah I gotta move
Yeah I gotta move
Cool tune man, lots of good stuff going on in here. I really like what you did with the bass part, and the lyrics very honest/relatable.
