Soft and Tame Lyrics by The Ophelias

Ribbon

2024

[Verse 1]
I was out, the sun on my cheek as I walk around
Pick up a pear, put it down
The radio plays a song we loved
It was dark, October now
Another month, I'll be back home
I can't describe the hollow sound
My jugular makes as it rolls around
[Chorus]
I see you in the black house, see you in the shade
Looking in your windows, soft and tame
An overturned bus on the highway
I need you to stay the fuck away
From me
[Verse 2]
Easier then to watch as you disappeared
Into the void, into the glow
The TV on, a city with snow
Harder to watch you stroll back again
Reinvented, re-ingrained
Tripping in family name
[Chorus]
I see you in the black house, see you in the shade
Looking in your windows, soft and tame
An overturned bus on the highway
I need you to stay the fuck away
I see you at the summit, I see you outside
Wrapped up in a jacket, the wind in your eyes
The tears are streaming, descending rain
It doesn't hurt me to see you in pain
It's getting louder, a siren calls
Tornado warning, we're all enthralled
I keep my distance, steady my gaze
I need you to stay the fuck away
Away
[Verse 3]
I stand by myself
You tell me it's not my home after all
I don't belong, I'll make my own
Giving up love in the south of Ohio
I hate it here, in the in between
I wanna feel safe, I wanna feel seen
The curve of the hills when the sun is gone
A knot in my throat, another fucking song
