Folklore Medley: Exile / Cardigan / August / My Tears Ricochet Lyrics by Lauren Cimorelli

2022

[My Tears Ricochet]
We gather here, we line up
Weeping in a sunlit room
And if I'm on fire
You'll be made of ashes too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
Till my dying day
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet
[Exile]
I can see you staring, honey
Like he's just your understudy
Likе you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Sеcond, third, and hundredth chances
Balancing on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown
Now I'm in exile, seeing you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door
Just step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
[August]
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away
Like a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
[Cardigan]
But I knew you
Leaving like a father
Running like water, oh oh oh
When you are young
They assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasing shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standing in my front porch light
I knew you'd come back to me
I knew you'd come back to me
