letra de the opener (extended version) - camp cope

[part i]

[verse 1]
take me back about a lifetime
yeah i was only seventeen
a side part, a short skirt, your band t-shirt
your biggest fan when you met me
saying man i love your band, could you sign this for my friend
what happened then, i can’t really remember
but suddenly i’m on a couch, in a run down terrace house
it was the thirty-first of december

[chorus 1]
and now-oh-oh i’ve watched you-ou-ou
oh i’ve watched you through a screen
but i-i-i’d rather die-ie-ie standing
than live back on my knees in front of you

[verse 2]
tell me you’re feeling tired
and take me up to see your room
tell me you want to see me again
well i couldn’t believe it was you
a milk crate bed frame, pillow and a duvet
making you make me envious of the walls of this room
downstairs my eighteen year old friend slept with your twenty-eight year old friend
back when no-one would question the men like you
[chorus 2]
but oo-oo-oh i watched you-ou-ou
love women who weren’t me
but i-i-i’d rather die-ie-ie standing
than live back on my knees, in front of you

[verse 3]
tell me that i’m your girlfriend
then tell me not to see my friends
cause they’re all women who aren’t into men
cause they break me out of the prison you built in my head
and i can’t help but keep living there
instead of the heaven i should be in
and i can’t go a day without hearing your name
and i hate myself for loving you this way

[chorus 3]
and oo-oo-oh i watch you-ou-ou
date women who look just like me
but i-i-i’d rather die-ie-ie standing
than live back on my knees

[bridge]
but i will love you til the sun burns down the sky
i will love you til the day i lose my mind
i will love you i hope you change in time
i hope you change in time
[part 2]

[verse 1]
tell me you never wanna see me again
and then keep showing up at my house
tell me you’ll never be in love again
and now you’re walking ’round with someone else
if i was hungry, then you were starving
and he was so sick, but you were dying
if i was hungry, then you were starving
now tell the dead man that you’re the one dying
“go and tell him you f-cking coward”

[verse 2]
treat women like queens until they disagree
and never reflect to think that, “maybe the problem was me”
nah, man, just keep smoking weed
tell this one, “yeah, they were all crazy, unlike you, baby”

[verse 3]
tell me that no one knows me like you do
and tell me that my friends don’t tell me the truth
and maybe i’ll come crawling back to you
like, that was your plan, right?
you worked so hard, but we were just lucky
to ride those coat tails into infinity
and all my success has got nothing to do with me
yeah, tell me again how there just aren’t
that many girls in the music scene
[verse 4]
it’s another all-male tour preaching equality
it’s another straight cis man who knows more about this than me
it’s another man telling us we’re missing a frequency
show ’em, kelly
it’s another man telling us we can’t fill up the sydney opera house
it’s another man telling us to book a smaller venue
“nah, hey, come on, girls, we’re only thinking about you”
well, see how far we’ve come not listening to you
yeah, just get a female opener, that’ll fill the quota

[outro]
“it’s our friend rin mcardle, sarah thompson, julia jacklin, jennifer aslett, kelly-dawn h-llmrich, and i am georgia maq and we have been camp cope and we are so lucky. thankyou so much best eight years of my god d-mn-life!”
