about
This song is basically about Chinatown/Old Town in Portland, OR.
lyrics
I am livin' in motels
Just dying, never really getting well
At least not for long
Like one or two songs
And I'm trying to get back on my feet
Crying for the people I'll meet
Who I'll let down
Who should've never stuck around
And you think shit's sweet 'til you're sleeping on Couch St.
And 2nd Ave, then shit's pretty bad
Well I keep it movin' city to city
Everything's pretty fucked up and gritty
Around here, it's a casual romance
It's unclear, like a casual romance
I'm scared there's not too much time left
It's unfair, but still place your bets
in every wrong place
Just lookin' for a taste of
Somethin' worth dying for
You feel alive then at least more than before
But in my head
You're already dead
And you think shit's sweet 'til you're sleeping on Couch St.
And 2nd Ave, then shit's pretty bad
Well I keep it movin' city to city
Everything's pretty fucked up and gritty
Around here, it's a casual romance
It's sincere, like a casual romance
Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 3, 2023
