[Spoken intro - female, warm and slightly ironic] okay okay it's April the sun is out for like the third day in a row and I've already decided to completely change my life again …classic [Verse 1 - conversational, almost dreamy] The windows open and the air smells like a promise I wrote a list of everything I'm gonna fix wake up early, eat like a person, drink the water call my mom back, quit the things that make me sick It all feels so possible at 4pm in April when the light does that thing through the curtains on the floor I believe in every version of myself I've invented I'll be better this time I've been better before [Pre-Refrain - voice tightening, half laughing] and I mean it I really mean it this time I bought a plant I named the plant the plant is a commitment [Refrain - fierce, explodes] April liar, April liar every year you do this to me fill my head with golden hours and the person I could be April liar, beautiful liar I fall for it every spring the days get long and I get stupid and I promise everything [Verse 2 - drier, more self-aware] By June the list is somewhere under last month's laundry the plant is looking rough, I'm looking rough, we're bonding the early mornings lasted maybe four consecutive days and the water bottle's still unopened on the shelf but god those three weeks in April though I was electric I had a plan, I had a vision, I had a vibe I was gonna learn Italian and finally fix my sleep schedule …I learned four words "arrivederci" and "why" [Pre-Refrain - quieter, sincere] but maybe that's enough maybe four words and a half-alive plant is still something it's still a little something [Refrain] April liar, April liar every year you do this to me fill my head with golden hours and the person I could be April liar, beautiful liar I fall for it every spring the days get long and I get stupid and I promise everything [Bridge - spoken, soft and honest] here's the thing though I don't think the problem is April I think April just… reminds you that you wanted things and somewhere in the grey of February you forgot so yeah I'll make the list again and yeah I'll probably drop half of it by May but the wanting is real even when the follow-through is a disaster the wanting is real. [Final Refrain - full, a little ragged] April liar, April liar I'll forgive you every time for the way you make the evening feel like everything's still mine April liar, golden liar I need you every spring even if by June I'm back to promising everything [Outro - whispered, almost fond] …same time next year bring the sun again I'll have a new list ready
