boygenius – Anti-Curse (official audio) listen to “Anti-Curse” from “the record”, out now: Anti-Curse Lyrics
[Verse 1: Baker]
Gettin’ deep
I’m out of my depth at a public beach
I never listened, I had to see for myself
It’s comin’ in waves
Shoots through my mind like a pinball stray
Friendly fire, point-blank
[Pre-Chorus: Baker]
Salt in my lungs
Holdin’ my breath
Makin’ peace with my inevitable death
[Chorus: All, & Baker]
I guess I did alright considering
Tried to be a halfway decent friend
Wound up a bad comedian
An honest fool with more bad habits
Than you can count
[Verse 2: All, & Baker]
There we were
Was anyone ever so young?
Breakin’ curfew with illegal fireworks
Unpackin’ God in the suburbs
[Bridge: Baker & All]
I’m swimmin’ back
See, you don’t have to makе it bad
Just ’cause you know how
[Outro: Baker]
Writin’ the words
To the worst lovе song you’ve ever heard
Soundin’ out the foreign characters
An incantation like an anti-curse
Or even a blessing
