Julia Jacklin - Convention Lyrics

The guitar seems like a really slowed down version of FJMs “I Went to the Store One Day.” Love it, both are poets and wonderful storytellers!

i wanna listen to this until i die

"Call me a ride, I can't walk home
Can't stand the pain from these shoes I've now outgrown"


This verse makes me cry all the time. It reminds me of how much healing I still need to go through. Life rolls on, I guess.

Says he buys the paper, but he reads between the lines... beautiful line

I looooooooove this <3

Well done, I love all your songs

"Convention" - Lyrics

Do you really wanna give him the microphone?
You know that he'll keep talking long after everyone's gone home
We'll have to pay to keep the lights on
And that bill will arrive just when all our savings have gone
Can I say something, can I give advice?
Just hit the main switch so we can sleep well tonight

My social standing got me six rows from the front
And my dinner companion was a little drunk
Says he buys the paper but he reads between the lines
"I can show you how I do it, why don't you come back to mine?"
Oh please say something, I'm dying for your advice
I can tell you won't sleep well if
you don't teach me how to do it right

Call me a ride, I can't walk home
Can't stand the pain from these shoes I've now outgrown

do we really wanna give him the microphone?
you know that he’ll keep talking long after everyone’s gone home
we’ll have to pay, to keep the lights on
and that bill will arrive just when all our savings have gone

can I say something, can I give advice?
just hit the main switch so we can sleep well tonight

my social standing got me six rows from the front
and my dinner companion was a little drunk
says he buys the paper but he reads between the lines
“I can show you how I do it, why don’t you come back to mine?”

oh please say something I’m dying for your advice
I can tell you won’t sleep well, if you don’t teach me how to do it right

call me a ride, I can’t walk home
can’t stand the pain from these shoes I’ve now outgrown

*FEELS*

Goddamn, one beautiful track after another Julia ❤

The guitar intro at the beginning reminded me of "Welcome Stranger" by (Megan) Washington.

And I Went To the Store One Day by Father John Misty. : )

this is absolutely album of the year

Luv u omgahhh

Continua pfv,to amando <3

imagine a ballet dancer skipping gracefully across a pond while listening to this, imagine the ripples she causes upon the pond with her each move, then imagine those ripples crashing among each other.

What a lovely image to go along with a lovely song

❤❤❤
