Look at Me Now

by Caroline Polachek

on Pang (2019)

[Verse 1]
Wrote myself a letter
Just a single question
When you finally get this
Where will you be?
Will you be a shipwreck or a star
Falling for a boy who doesn't play guitar?
Now rewind the tape back to the start
Said I'd never leave you, but here we are

[Chorus]
And you can't look at me now
I haven't changed, I'm still the same
But you can't look at me now
A hand grenade to throw away

[Verse 2]
Now my friends all tell me
"Girl, you're getting skinny
Have you not been sleeping?"
How could I be?
Trying to find the lightswitch in the dark
Burying the good girl I know I'm not
Now rewind the tape back to the start
Said I'd never leave you, but here we are

[Chorus]
And you can't look at me now
I haven't changed, I'm still the same
But you can't look at me now
A hand grenade to throw away

[Bridge]
I can't run anymore
Gotta stay right here and face the storm
I can't run anymore
Where the wake-up call is all I know
I can't run anymore
(I can't run anymore)
Gotta stay right here and face the storm
I can't run anymore
(I can't run anymore)

[Chorus]
You can't look at me now
I haven't changed, I'm still the same
But you can't look at me now
A hand grenade to throw away
Look at me now
(I can't run anymore)
You can't look at me now
(I can't run anymore)
