​imperial manila Lyrics by Aidan Bernales

Devotions

2024

[Verse 1]
Emerald soju bottles
Yet to be broken
So am I picking up phantom shards?
Polite anticipation
Bathroom floor desperation
We can't say it or we're taking it too far
It don't take much to fool me
Those orbs that see right through me
Tell me you're staring at the calendar
Because I've done the same
Chipping away at paint
Take me back to when we start
[Pre-Chorus]
"Don't fret," you whisper softly, "I'll try not to miss you too much"
Blue flannel on my bedroom floor
"I won't fret," I say breathlessly, wearing the shirt you sent me
"But if I do, will you bе keeping score?"
[Chorus]
I'll miss you even though I'm still with you
Bеcause in you I found the elixir
While my finger's on the hairpin
Trigger, trigger, trigger
We always knew I was the
Sinner, sinner, sinner, oh-oh-oh
You asked me where I'll go, I'll go with you
But destiny is calling me in imperial Manila
[Verse 2]
Is where they want me to be
Paris of Asia, bright white Evangelines
But I can still taste the Long Island Iced Tea
The smile on your face losing life beside me
If you said the word to heel, I'd heel (I'd heel)
If you said the word to stay, I'd stay (I'd stay)
If you said the word to go, you know
You know I won't
[Bridge]
Take me back
Slow down, sidetrack
Night club, my hands
Race down your back
Kiss me again there
Circles on your hair
Rewind the clock
Meet me in our spot
[Chorus]
I'll miss you even though I'm still with you
('Cause how can I let you go? How can I let you go?)
Because in you I found the elixir
While my finger's on the hairpin
Trigger, trigger, trigger
We always knew I was the
Sinner, sinner, sinner, oh-oh-oh
You asked me where I'll go, I'll go with you
But destiny is calling me in imperial Manila
(Take me back)
I'll miss you even though I'm still with you
How can I let you go? How can I let you go?
(Slow down, sidetrack)
Because in you I found the elixir
(Night club, my hands)
While my finger's on the hairpin
(Race down your back)
Trigger, trigger, trigger
(Kiss me again there)
We always knew I was the
(Circles on your hair)
Sinner, sinner, sinner, oh-oh-oh
(Rewind the clocks)
You asked me where I'll go, I'll go with you
(Meet me in our)
But destiny is calling me in imperial
Manila
