Holly Humberstone: Please Don’t Leave Just Yet – dal Matty Healy (The 1975) közreműködésével

Az 1999 végén a közép-angliai Lincolnshire-ben Grantham városában született Holly a fő zenei hatásai közt Damien Rice, Phoebe Bridgers és a Haim trió nevét említi, Clairo-, Bon Iver- és Radiohead-feldolgozásai közül ez utóbbit pedig még kislemezdalként is kiadta (Fake Plastic Trees).

Míg tavalyi első EP-jét még otthoni élményeiből írta, addig az idei másodikat már nagyrészt a Londonba költözése utáni időszak ihlette: az áprilisi Haunted House ugyan még a szülői házról szól (a klipjét is ott forgatták a szülők szereplésével), a májusban bemutatott címadó The Walls Are Way Too Thin csúcsdal viszont már a londoni kis lakásából való kitörési vágyról, a nagy példakép The 1975-frontember Matty Healy társaságában írt és rögzített Please Don’t Leave Just Yet című szakítós szám pedig arról, hogy milyen nehéz elengedni valakit, akit szeretünk.

I know you’re getting over it and working on your next step
Spend three cold weeks on a mattress and a sleepless head
I heard her on a phone, when you said “I’m having a cigarette”
And I know I’m only young, but I’m not a fucking idiot

And even if it’s all just a waste of my breath
For five minutes, can we, please, just talk before you jet?
And you said, “Honey, there’s no use in getting all upset”
And I said, “Please, don’t leave just yet”

I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
But, I just do, I just do
I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
Like I used to— I just do, I just do

Maybe, I’ll find a piece of you in someone else’s bed
Maybe, in the next life, there’s some other time when I’m less obsessed

And I can tell you’re over it by the amount you’re on the internet
And I’ll even help you pack your shit
But, please don’t leave just yet— Don’t leave just yet

I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
But, I just do, I just do
I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
Like I used to— I just do, I just do

I think I gave a little too much, didn’t I?
Think I gave a little too much, didn’t I?

And even if it’s all just a waste of my breath
For five minutes, can we, please, just talk before you jet?
Don’t leave just yet

I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
But, I just do, I just do
I don’t wanna need your love, your love, anymore
Like I used to— I just do, I just do

I just do
(I know you’re getting over it)

I heard you talking ’till the morning
Heavy whispers from the next room
You say it’s never your intention
And I’m just in a bad mood
There was a possible connection on the table for a second
Then she made such an entrance
Can’t stand all this tension
Can you?

Then we cross paths by the bathroom
But I’d just rather be out of the picture
And I’ll do my upmost to talk to you
But I just wanna be out—
I just wanna be out of the picture

And, no, I’m not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she’s gone
The walls are way too thin
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I’m bored, I’m ignored, I’m being out of my mind
The walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

You’re blowing smoke rings in the corridors, I feel so cold
How come it rains inside?
The house is full, but I’m alone
With all the shit that still needs fixing, out of my control
It takes a hold of me
It takes a hold of me

The same old sad songs I cling to
‘Cause I just wanna be out—
I just wanna be out of the picture

And, no, I’m not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she’s gone
The walls are way too thin
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I’m bored, I’m ignored, I’m being out of my mind
The walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

And, no, I’m not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she’s gone
The walls are way too thin

Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I’m bored, I’m ignored, I’m being out of my mind
The walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

They say this house is haunted
But all these ghosts I’ve grown with
As it slips away from me, I still hold on hopelessly
I lay my head to sleep and say goodnight

Bringing up four daughters
Made the house a fortress
Dirty knees and honey bees
And nowhere else would sting as sweet
Can’t believe we’re turning off the lights

And one day I’ll drive past you
If I recognise you, I’ll try not to stay too long
See the soil I grew upon
In a couple years I’ll be alright

So, darling, pull the curtains
And, in the morning, let me lie here with you
Don’t say that I’m lеaving in the morning
Let me liе here with you
