lyrics

You’ve got wheels beneath the knee
just my type, all built for speed
I still fall so easily.

I’m just boy
boy crazy.

I got foolish
dreaming on a future with you
like some amateur
in plastic pearls,
a younger girl’s perfume.
If I’m strong enough to handle this
you’re wrong to leave so soon.

I’m just boy
boy crazy.

Don’t make me say it
I know what it was
can’t you just let me call it a—
sooner or later
wouldn’t be enough
one of us was gonna fall into—
Don’t make me say it
I know what it was
can’t you just let me call it
can’t you just let me call it a crush?

I’m just boy
boy crazy.

Thought you were leaning in
thought it might mean something
off of my feet again
clean sweep
doesn’t take much, now does it?
Thought we would meet again
caught in the feeling of it
head over heels but then
it wasn’t enough, now was it?

Pursuit & The Elusive
by Lady Midnight

Powerful vocals, ace production (hat tip to Lazerbeak), and a tracklist that demands movement. Lady Midnight is a force. Dessa

Saw the KEXP session with tracks from this one in the summer of 2012 and instantly fell in love with Doomtree. other loves come and go but this one has been on my heavy rotation thoughout the like 11 years since. It's a microcosm of what's good about Doomtree generally - a perfectly balanced feast, with a bit of everything you love in every song. Also i'd give you a different fave track any given day you ask me but here's today's Niki
