Faster Jackalope

verse 1
Delightful you of pleasant past
I see in sleep
It isn’t restful in the least
It’s mission creep
I wake up aching as I do
For worried weeks
Give me my peace!

pre-chorus 1
Will wondrous conundrums never cease—
For a time at least?

Chorus
You said you wouldn’t M-I-S-S me
The D-A-Y’s are turning into weeks
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Y-O-U
But my L-O-V-E is true
my L-O-V-E is true

verse 2
You wake up naked late for school
The noon bell chimes
You cut your classes like a fool
No grand design
You stay in, sate your every mood
It’s hard to find the perfect thing

pre-chorus 2
It’s all the same, and sameness is cloying
It’s worrying

Chorus

Bridge
You tell me
You’re happy
But your face gives the game away
Say no more girl
10-4 girl
I’ll ignore the words you say

SOLO BREAK

pre-chorus 3
I got a discount ticket to your town
So wipe off that frown

Chorus

really pretty instrumental, nice vocals. probably among my favorites (again, glad I don't have to be a judge with so many great songs to try to rank)

absolutely love this one too, the lyrics are sweet and emotional, the mix is gorgeous and the strings sound great. Possibly my favourite Jackalope song thus far and definitely among my favourites from round zero - best bit for me is the guitar melody on the pre-chorus, which is just lovely. On a first listen I thought maybe the chorus would grate on me after a few listens for some reason but the opposite was true, I like it more every time.

the start with that cymbal feels very theatric. The whole thing is lovely, great performance from truth. Violin a great addition. Not sure how I feel about the lyrics.
