"do you remember?" you say how could i forget?

... feeling so cool about this totally not feeling like an absolute fool about it

unreleased lucy dacus song ("big deal")

flicking embers in the the daffodils / you didn't plan to tell me how you feel / you laugh about it like it's no big deal / crush the fire underneath your heel / i'm surprised that you're the one who said it first / if you had waited a few years, i would've burst / everything comes up to the surface in the end / even the things we'd rather leave unspoken

we both know that it would never work / you've got your girl, you're gonna marry her / and i'll be watching in a pinstripe suit / sincerely happy for both of you / so what changes, if anything? / maybe everything can stay the same / but if we never talk about it again / there's something i want you to understand

you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal /

you knew when you caught me reading at your show / i knew when you came to visit in the cold / we could've done something that we'd come to regret / "do you remember?" you say how could i forget? /

we both know that it would never work / you've got your girl, you're gonna marry her / and i'll be watching in a pinstripe suit / not even wishing it was me and you / so what changes, if anything? / maybe everything can stay the same / but if we never talk about it again / there's something i want you to understand

you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal

LUCY DACUS debuts new song at brooklyn steel 10/8/24

clasping your necklace / zipping your dress / hands on your waist / kissing your neck / i love your body / i love your mind / they will change / so will mine

but you are my best guess at the future / you are my best guess / if i were a gambling man / i am / you’d be my best bet

tracing your tan lines / making you mine / if this doesn’t work / i’ll lose my mind / and after a while / i will be fine / but i don’t wanna be fine / i want you, you

you are my best guess at the future / you are my best guess / if i were a gambling man / i am / you’d be my best bet / here is the church / here is the steeple / you were looking for saints / but you only found people / ‘aint that just the way it goes / i watched you fall from grace / you were graceful

after all / it’s a small world / you may not be an angel / but you are my girl / you are my pack a day / you are my favorite place / you were my best friend before

you were my best guess at the future / you are my best guess / if i were a gambling man / i am / you’d be my best bet / you are my best guess at the future / you are my best guess / if i were a gambling man / i am / you’d be my best bet

the way i knew EXACTLY what this was from reading the first six words... only slightly concerning

God, I worry too much. But as long as you are not tired yet talking, and would like to listen to me.. it helps.
