about

i wrote this track maybe 2 years ago, id recently fallen in love with an ex partner who didnt love me anymore anyway, but i had a space that i loved.
this song describes that place as one full of inspiration, but also as one that was private and closed off to public entry due to the recent heartbreak.

lyrics

D, G, F, C all the way throuuugh (add the 7 into ur chords if u like)

clothes cover my carpet
my ex-boyfriends drawings cover my walls
my best friend’s band’s setlist
some long some small
cartoons of an ex-prime minister
scribbles I will one day get scribbled on me
under my skin
don’t wanna let you in

every single note a stranger has left in my case
you’re absolutely gorgeous

now I’m no cactus expert
but I know a prick when I see one
and my pot plants don’t hold succulents
but, when you enter this one
you’ll find my clothes are the last line of defence

please don’t tread on my stuff
oh please don’t, please don’t

every single note
a stranger has left in my case
you’re absolutely gorgeous
i love this place
i’ll put it all under my skin

still don’t wanna let you in
don’t wanna let you in
don’t wanna let you in
clothes cover my carpet
