Wolf Alice - Soapy Water Lyrics

Wolf Alice – Soapy Water Lyrics

I wash my face with soapy water
Disguise the tears ‘cos you’re somebody’s daughter,
and they don’t ever want to see you cry
Anxiety’s grip is always waiting to take me, it sits in my stomach, I fear it’s starting to shape me
It’s hard to live when you’re scared to die

CHORUS:
If I’m gonna sit and wait then I might as well, ask for the hand of the Devil himself
I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell
So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack, but they just say hello and never look back
I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch

Superstition has me out of control, touch my head and bless my soul
I pray it ain’t a feeling, but my soul is just old
‘Cos nothing heals misery’s first, no witch’s pill, no lover’s kiss
If life is easy then what is this?

CHORUS:
If I’m gonna sit and wait then I might as well, ask for the hand of the Devil himself
I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell
So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack, but they just say hello and never look back
I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch

Light a smoke, put it out, search for rooms, out of town, start again, cut your hair, you’ve wondered love but it’s hard to care (I’ll care, I’ll try to care)

Choose a religion, choose a goddamn sport, go find something to eradicate these thoughts, you might not waste time, and keep good health, but that’s not it, there’s something else…

CHORUS:
If I’m gonna sit and wait then I might as well, ask for the hand of the Devil himself
I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell
So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack, but they just say hello and never look back
I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch
