Substance Lyrics by Julia Stone

Sixty Summers

2021

[Verse 1]
Tearing through the city
In your Mercedes-Benz
And I can't help thinking
That this is all pretend
Took me to a party
Introduced me as a friend
Did you even notice when I left?

[Pre-Chorus]
You say one thing and you're doing the other
You're pulling me in but you're running for cover

[Chorus]
Keep giving you love and
It's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no-oh-oh
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking

[Verse 2]
After you stayed ovеr
I invite you to my show
You made up some rеason
Why you couldn't go
There without your friends
You come and watch me play
You act as if everything's ok

[Pre-Chorus]
You say one thing and you're doing the other
You're pulling me in but you're running for cover

[Chorus]
Keep giving you love and
It's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no-oh-oh
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking for

[Bridge]
Driving through the city
Doing 90 on the 10
I can't help thinking
That this has to end
Took me to a party
Introduced me
You introduced me as your friend

Keep giving you love and
It's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no-oh-oh
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking

[Chorus]
I want you to hold me
(And I'm giving it up, giving it up)
You said you were lonely
(When you're living it up, living it up)
I thought we had something, no-oh-oh
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking
