Safe and sound, I reached the top to come back down
Still trying to turn my thoughts around
And I swear this time I’ve got the whole thing all worked out
But I lose my mind in the bathroom of your friends house
So I run and hide past the boulevard and bury my pride
Keep my skin ajar to settle my mind
Just to cover up and swear I’m alright
But I lied, won’t you hold me close I’m scared that I’ll cry
I do that sometimes
Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl
Who sits and cries on top of the world
Got it so damn good that it hurts
And I should feel much better
But I just feel worse
You’re cool as hell, I hold my breath my breath I bet you can’t tell
I’m not scared of you, just scared of myself
Cause you talk like you were born for the crowd
And I’m standing here with blood in my mouth
Trying to keep from spilling out
Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl
Who sits and cries on top of the world
Got it so damn good that it hurts
And I should feel much better
But I just feel worse
So I drown my mind a thousand leagues beneath the porcelain tiles
But the water always ends up in my eyes
So I cut my loss and let it run wild
I do that sometimes
Lo and behold, the single most unfortunate girl
Who sits and cries on top of the world
Got it so damn good that it hurts
And I should feel much better
But I don't feel much better
I just feel worse

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
