Fell for It Anyway - Reckoners of the Afternoon - The Gone Kids

[Intro – Vocal Fragment + Snare Clicks] “Don’t answer that” You said, half-laughing But I already had And I already cracked [Verse 1] You weren’t the type I should chase Too clean, too cruel, too much grace But I showed up with excuses In my coat, in my face You wore danger like perfume I wore silence like a room You said “Don’t make it mean more” And I made it mean doom [Pre-Chorus] We were long nights Wrong lights Double texts No rights [Chorus – Choral Swell, Tight Male Harmony] (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) I knew better But I stayed (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) You were thunder I got played (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Every look said "leave" But I fell for it anyway [Verse 2] We talked like trains pass Fast and never clear I saved your notes like warnings Still read them, still hear You broke things soft But left loud I took your word And wore it proud [Bridge – Spoken Harmony over Slow Instrumental Loop] “You knew” Yeah “You knew” I know [Chorus Repeat – Swell Thicker, Beat Stronger] (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) I knew better But I stayed (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) You were thunder I got played (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Every look said "leave" But I fell for it anyway [Instrumental Break – Echoed Guitar + Perc Loop] [Snare echoes, bass rises, loop returns] [Final Chorus – Fragmented + Cut Harmony] (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Still feels good Still sounds right Even now In the dark of the night (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) I knew better But I stayed And I Fell for it anyway [Outro – Reverb Snap + Static Loop]
