about

buta big band is BACK and we are back with a new original big band banger about... years? i guess? on a serious note, this song is quite special to me. i wrote it after a good night of fried chicken and soju with someone important to me a few weeks after Patito came out and the lyrical content is mostly just inside jokes with multiple friends about the entire situation. somehow that worked. enjoy!

lyrics

You say that you're not ready
Well all I got is time
And if you're running out then
I can give you some of mine

I might not be your ending
And I might not be your start
But maybe if you let me
I could be your middle part

And I think I should stop pretending
That I might pull through
Cause it feels like my world is ending
When I'm not with you

2012 has got me feeling a certain kind of way
A year of ups and downs, I rise and sink like bad soufflé
These little things I cannot see are eating up my brain
So I'll lay it all out girl, I don't want to play no games

It's not like I was ready
I thought I wanted time
Unwillingly enlisted by those
Nights of tea and wine

My head is overflowing
Like a kettle I forgot
I'm losing sleep, my mind's been gone
Can't take another thought

I don't think I can keep pretending
That I might pull through
Cause it feels like my world is ending
When I'm not with you

2012 has got me feeling a certain kind of way
A year of ups and downs, I rise and sink like bad soufflé
These little things I cannot see are eating up my brain
I wish that it were different but every time it's the same

My reason's crumbling
Like some flimsy dough that's badly baked
My heart is tumbling
Feel as though I make all these mistakes

But sitting on my couch with you it's all okay
A calm I can't describe
My thoughts and worries drift away
Loving you's a vibe

I know I can't keep pretending
That I will pull through
Cause it feels like my world is ending
When I'm not with you

2012 has got me feeling a certain kind of way
A year of ups and downs, I rise and sink like bad soufflé
These little things I cannot see are eating up my brain
And every time I see you I go through it all again

2012 has got me feeling a certain kind of way
A year of ups and downs, I rise and sink like bad soufflé
These little things I can't explain are eating up my brain
And I just wanna see you, whatchu doing on Wednesday?

You said you weren't ready
But I misunderstood
