Clairo - Bags
[Verse 1]
Every second counts
I don't wanna talk to you anymore, and
All these little games
You can call me by the name I gave you yesterday, yeah
Every minute counts
I don't wanna watch TV anymore, yeah
Can you figure me out?
Just doin' this to waste more time on the couch
[Chorus]
Can you see me? I'm waiting for the right time
I can't read you, but if you want, the pleasure's all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back?
I guess this could be worse
Walking out the door with your bags
Walking out the door with your bags
Walking out the door with your bags
Walking out the door with your bags
[Verse 2]
Pour your glass of wine
Mitchell told me I should be just fine (Yeah)
Cases under the bed
Spill it open, let it rush to my head
I don't wanna be forward, I don't wanna cut corners
Savor this with everything I have inside of me
I'm not the type to run
I know that we're having fun
But what's the rush? Kissing, then my cheeks are so flushed
"Bags" is the first single from Clairo's album "Immunity", released on August 2, 2019. The song was inspired by her first experiences with a girl. Clairo says her voice was "shitty" because she was sick when recording. She got the idea to write this song after her friend told her to write a song about her after listening to "Motion Sickness" by Phoebe Bridgers on repeat. This single features co-production from Rostam, a producer that was a member of Vampire Weekend until January 2016, who has also been given credits for co-producing the entire album. As well as this, it features drumming from Danielle Haim, a member of the band HAIM. Danielle also made several features on the recent Vampire Weekend album, "Father of the Bride".
