The Good Witch Album Lyrics by Maisie Peters

The Good Witch

Still me here, do you think I forgot about you?
Still upset but now I'm twenty-two
Let's call this the calm
Before the storm comes rushin' through
And it's Armageddon

Still at Decoy, still a good witch with her tea
Still bitter, still don't play the black keys
Still wants to politely and properly warn you
This is Armageddon

When all I do is think about the past
And haunt a house nobody wants to live in
You wanna hear about it all, where do I start?
I guess when it kicks in

Still King's Cross
And pulling heartbreak out of hats
Still argue like my mother and suppress stuff like my dad
Still miss you but I know now it'll pass

Found some other muses, I give 'em all my best
I light another candle and I chant under my breath
That I will try forgiveness but I will not forget
Not forget, not forget, not forget
Am I better yet?

When all I do is think about the past
Make it a universe that you can live in
You wanna hear from all the people in my heart
Well, okay, when it kicks in

(I know this is like the worst drunk message but it's okay)
(I miss you, I love you, okay)
(Boys just being dumb)
(I am driving around in a car in New Zealand)
(I am listening to your songs)
(He has a girlfriend now)
(This is the worst news ever)
(When did this occur? Who is he? Where's he from?)
(What's he like? What's his name?)

Coming Of Age

Your face in fluorescent
Looks different in the daylight
Like, was it a love affair
Or just a lot of late nights?
Like you had the speaking parts
But I guess I was the playwright, oh, oh, oh

I couldn't escape you
Like the airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you
Like a tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss
How come it felt like a snakebite? Oh, oh, oh

I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age

Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age

I'm caught in new ground
And I'm burning all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad
Of course you couldn't read me
So, I'll leave you behind
But that don't mean it's easy, oh, oh, oh

I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age

I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But you couldn't keep
What you couldn't take
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age

Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age

I wish I could've seen it
God, I wish I could've seen it
God, I wish I could've seen it
God, oh god, I wish that I could've seen it, god

Watch

Telling the wide web that this is my era
Then writing a lot of heartbroken music
Nobody actually happy and healthy
Has ever felt so desperate to prove it

You took a road trip into the mountains
I feel like all of my exes have done that
You look like a film Michael Cera would act in
And it felt like a face slap

It keeps hurting
But I keep searching

You're so bad (so bad)
You look better (what the f*ck?)
I fought it but I saw it
And it sawed me right in half
You still get to me
But I still let ya (yes, I do)
You're being the superstar
And all I got are victim cards
And you've got every single thing you want
And I just watch
I just watch, I just watch

Millennium baby but you are pretentious
So you have a camcorder out of the 90s
And everybody pretends that they're great
But what if you actually might be?

I forget to (I forget to)
So I gotta get my act together

You're so bad (so bad)
You look better (what the f*ck?)
I fought it but I saw it
And it sawed me right in half
You still get to me
But I still let ya (yes, I do)
You're being the superstar
And all I got are victim cards
And you've got every single thing you want
And I just watch

I know that I should know better
I don't think I want to get better
So obsessed, now I don't have ya
I just keep looking back at ya
I know that I should know better
I don't think I want to get better
So obsessed, I'm so obsessed

I'm still here in my loafers (with his hoodie)
And I saw you and your girlfriend
Sure, I don't know she's your girlfriend
Well, f*cking sue me 'cause at least then we could talk

You're so bad (so bad)
You look better (what the f*ck?)
I fought it but I saw it
And it sawed me right in half
You still get to me
But I still let ya (yes, I do)
Now you're living the goddamn dream
Have a golden star, this one's for free
'Cause you broke my heart and my self-esteem
For a girl who's a remix of me
But I guess you've got everything you want
And I just watch

Body Better

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

I was good to you
Could lay my head up on your chest
And hear I was good for you
Got your heartbeat at its best
You were it for me
Did I just not do it for you superficially
'Cause you were it for me

If it was nothing I did and nothing I said
And I know I gave you all of myself, one hundred percent
Now I'm watching you moving on in the beat of a drum
So if I never gave you any reason to run

Then I, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?
And I, I can't help thinking when you touched it, were you sorry?
Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?
Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now
The worst way to love somebody is to watch them love somebody else and it work out
Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?

Do you love her?
When you're twisting up all her sheets, do you suffer?
Do I sit there and watch you sleep?
If you love her
Was I just an idea you liked?
A convenient use of type
With obedient blue eyes

You took what you took and you left what you left
And I don't know how I still can't make it make any sense

Now I, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?
And I, I can't help thinking when you touched it, were you sorry?
Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?
Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now
The worst way to love somebody is to watch them love somebody else and it work out
Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?

All the hows and the whens and whys
I thought it would be us for life
Was I wrong and is she so right?
Is her body better than mine?
All the clothes and the warning signs?
How's it feel to have made me cry?
Will you tell me just one more lie?
Is her body better than mine? (Mine)

I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?
I can't help thinking when you touched it, were you sorry?
Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?
Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now
The worst way to love somebody is to watch them love somebody else and it work out
Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body
Has she got a body better than mine?

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Want You Back

I was treading water till the minute we met
Till you caught a teacher's daughter
With a dangerous text
I read it like a Bible
And I wore it like a bulletproof vest
Found myself a lover that made everything right
Slept under your covers, it made everything right
Yeah, I was the DJ
And the darling of your passenger side

So I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it I might go mad
Yeah, I know it didn't last
And what was cheap to you
To me, was all I had
The issue is, I know all of this and I
I still want you back
I still want you back

Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn't sing
But baby, when you touch her I bet she doesn't flinch
She'll have you every summer
When I only had you half of the spring
You left like an assassin, maybe that's for the best
'Cause if you told me what would happen
I think I would have begged
So you've gotta be a coward
And I salvaged little self-respect

Yeah, I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it I might go mad
Yeah, I know it didn't last
And what was cheap to you
To me, was all I had
The issue is, I know all of this and I
I still want you back

I'm not allowed to want you any longer
I must go out with a stranger
I must kiss him to get stronger
So I don't tell a soul
That I'll be yours again tomorrow
If you wanted but you don't wanna

So I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it I might go mad
It wasn't real, it was for me but you know that
And I bet you've thrown away our photographs
The issue is, I know all of this and I
I still want you back
I still want you back
I still want you back

The Band and I

We played heads-up in a car in Seattle
God rock on the radio
You look like a superstar
And Dom got into Juilliard
And I'm really bad at heads-up
What do you know

My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop
He said he'd make a move and then he went with "excuse me"
Came a boy and left a man
Gotta give it to the band
Greatest one in Oregon (Oregon)

And looking back, all I know is
It was Friday nights, it was video gold
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock and roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making and messing it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh, it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we're living the dream
I hope we never wake up

Snowstorm in the middle of Texas
Called my mother in a Denny's and lied
Told her I'd been eating then
Told her you were just friend
Told her I was homesick
I hadn't thought of home twice

Drive and then we drive again to an ocean
And I think I knew it then for a moment

It was Friday nights, it was video gold
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock and roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making and messing it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh, it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we're living the dream
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up

Two nights in the El Rey went flying
I'm twenty-one and I feel evergreen
The band go home, I stay to write
We drive around, I stay the night
Guys, I'm pretty sure it's the American dream

It was changing clocks, it was Tina stoned
Oh, it was midnight stops at border control
Yeah, it was power cuts, it was certain doom
It was living in the Little Rock laundry room
Oh, it was breaking down, it was falling in love
In a gas station by the pickup trucks
In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear
We are the best damn band that's ever played right here

It was magic, babe, pure and strong
It was the last man standing for the Eagles song
It was a far-flung wish when we were young
Now we're living the dream
And I hope we never wake up

You're Just a Boy (And I'm Kinda the Man)

I take in clowns like a one-woman circus
You're kinda awful but you're not awful on purpose
Gave a two-word response when I was having a breakdown
Oh, Mister Bruce Wayne, where is that cape now?

Don't you know that you're losing this (is that what you want?)
Don't you know that you're losing this (I'm 'bout to be gone)
Don't you see what I'm giving up? And you can't even text
Don't be surprised now I'm giving up
God, what did you expect?

I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come but your head's in the sand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

You were my best friend, my shoulder to lean on
But you pushed me out quicker than it took me to put my jeans on
And maybe you're lost and just can't see what you have
But I'm not gonna wait, now I know better than that

Don't you know that you're losing this (is that what you want?)
Don't you know that you're losing this (I'm 'bout to be gone)
Don't you see what what you're giving up? I'm not holding my breath
You won't see what you're giving up till I've already left

I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come but your head's in the sand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

Goodbye from your biggest fan
Goodbye from the bigger man
Bye-bye from your girl, oh damn
You're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
And I thought you did, but you don't understand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

Goodbye from your biggest fan
Goodbye from the bigger man
Bye-bye from your girl, oh damn
You're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

Lost The Breakup

Got the news just last month
That I am exhausting and you're not in love
Didn't say it in those words
But I know how your tone works
You're MIA, running so free
Calling your ex, forgetting 'bout me
But I know you could never
Yeah, I know you remember

So, I'm feeling and I'm dealing with the heart you broke
While you do press-ups and repress us and take off her clothes, oh
I'm hurting but I'm certain it's still true
I'm the best thing that almost happened to you

I know I'm obsessed and
Right now, I might be a mess but
One day, you're gonna wake up
And, oh shit, you lost the breakup
I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh shit, you lost the breakup

But for now, I'm out in the dust
Falling apart
Oh, is she just like me? Yeah, I reckon
You got two types, Country and Western

So, I'm feeling and I'm dealing with the heart you broke
While you do press-ups and repress us and take off her clothes, oh
Here's something if nothing else is still true
I'm the best thing that almost happened to you

I know I'm obsessed and
Right now, I might be a mess but
One day, you're gonna wake up
And, oh shit, you lost the breakup
I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh shit, you lost the breakup

Oh shit, you lost the breakup

You're gonna walk into some underground bar
You'll see a pretty little thing catching eyes in the dark
And it's me, I'll see you too, I'll wave
And I'm dancing over to you in the corner and you'll say
"Wow, hey, it's been forever
Do you wanna get a drink, like together?"
I say, "I'm kinda busy but like, stay in touch?"
I think, oh shit, I won the breakup

I'll smile and you'll have to face it
I'm the greatest love that you wasted
But, by then, I'll be far away (uh)
And, oh shit, you lost the breakup

And, oh shit, you lost the breakup

Wendy

You're rolling like a stone
You're laughing like a kid
You're calling like the future
Then you're closed up like a fist

Lost my page when you kissed me
Now I remember the whole book
She almost loses her way 'cause
She followed him after one look

You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
But I know the girl that you want and it scares me
Behind every lost boy there's always a Wendy

And you're pretty like a girl
'Til you're vicious like a man (vicious like a man, vicious like)
Yeah, you give up like a ghost
Leaving halfway through the band

Then you're evasive on the phone
'Til you're sorry on the floor
So I'm throwing you a bone
'Cause you want me and you're sure
If I'm not careful, I'll wake up and we'll be married
And I'll still flinch at the sound of a door

You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
But I know the girl that you want and it scares me
Behind every lost boy there's always a Wendy
So I'll lock the window and turn on the AC
You'll throw your rocks and you'll scream that you hate me
But it gets old being forever twenty
And what about my wings? What about Wendy?

Take the hand and go with him
Be the clock that he watches
Wait until he gets bored and wanders back to the forest
Lose the world that you live in
Pretend that it's what you wanted
It's a life I could have, I know

You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
I could love you and wait 'til you're ready
But what about my wings? What about Wendy?
So I'll lock the window and turn on the AC
You'll throw your rocks and you'll scream that you hate me
But it gets old being forever twenty
And what about my wings? What about Wendy?

What about Wendy? What about Wendy?
What about Wendy? What about Wendy?

Run

Oh my, what happened here?
He came, he disappeared
He was too good to be true
Swore a lot of things, none of them new
Dropped words, forgot 'em overnight
Good thing that I'll think about them up until I die

I've been lied to, I've been cut and deleted
I've heard some things that I will leave unrepeated
I've seen some flags but the reddest one is
If a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

If he calls you up, say he's so in love
And it's been one week you better, run
If your heart says broke and your friends say don't
It's an RIP you better, run
As fast as you can, take a quick sharp turn
At the sight of the man and make it done
If a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

If he say he's real, he's not
If he makes you smile, he's blocked

I've been lied to, I've been cut and deleted
I've heard some things that I will leave unrepeated
I've seen some flags but the reddest one is
If a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

If he calls you up, say he's so in love
And it's been one week you better, run
If your heart says broke and your friends say don't
It's an RIP you better, run
As fast as you can, take a quick sharp turn
At the sight of the man and make it done
If a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

You better run
You better run
You better run
You better

He likes a promise if he don't have to keep it
He hates a sentence when he has to mean it
I know it's dark and I know that I'm young
But if a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

(RIP) Run
Run As fast as you can, take a quick sharp turn
At the sight of the man and make it done
If a man says that he wants you in his life forever, run

Two Weeks Ago

I wish it was two weeks ago
In your room that night, I wish I'd known
When you held me tight, wish I hadn't let go
And I wish it was two weeks ago
I wish we kissed when we first wanted
And we didn't miss all the time we did
When we said goodbye, wish I hadn't let go
And I wish it was two weeks ago

You were driving fast, I was holding back
And I loved you babe, but I bet you knew that
The song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago
When you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me babe, when you told me that
And the song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago, whoa
I wish it was two weeks ago, whoa

I wish when we went to the beach that day
We'd taken more pictures, I'd been more brave
I was happier than I'd ever known
Now I wish it was two weeks ago
The airport broke us in two
A friend drove me 'cause you couldn't do
And that last kiss, couldn't look at you
But I wish I did

You were falling fast, I was holding back
And I loved you babe, but I bet you knew that
The song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago
When you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me babe, when you told me that
And the song was true and the sky was black
God, I wish it was two weeks ago, whoa (whoa)
I wish it was two weeks ago, whoa (whoa)
I wish it was two weeks ago (oh)
I wish it was two weeks ago, whoa (whoa)

I was yours so fast, I was scared so bad
God, I loved you babe, did I tell you that?
The song was true, now it's all I have
And I wish it was two weeks ago
When you said we're like your mom and dad
Knew you loved me babe, when you told me that
Now this song's for you, when it's all we had
And I wish it was two weeks ago

BSC

I cut my nose to save some face
You cut your hair and take some space
We don't speak 'cause it's too tricky
But if I'm tricky, why'd you kiss me
On the forehead, way up north
Pressed the scar and found the source
If you don't love me, why you'd act it?
Love's a verb and not a bandage

And I'm spiritual cleansing (but the truth)
Is I'm good at pretending (oh and you)

Broke me big time
It's funny and I'm laughing, baby
You think I'm alright
But I'm actually bloody motherf*cking batshit crazy
(One, two, three)

I kept it in but it wrecked my organs
So pour the gin and call Graham Norton
I'm gonna throw you down the river
Your mom can watch it over dinner
Golden boy, you dropped the ball
I am Annie f*cking Hall
If you don't love me, what was April?
You played a game but I run the table
Mister "I don't want a label"
You made me little miss unstable and it

Broke me big time
It's funny and I'm laughing, baby
You think I'm alright
But I'm actually bloody motherf*cking batshit crazy

Broke me big time
It's funny and I'm laughing, baby
Oh, you think I'm alright
But I'm actually bloody motherf*cking batshit crazy

I am unhinged (unhinged)
I am scaling all these walls, I've gone within (within)
I am both Kathy Bates and Stephen King
I can write you out the way I wrote you in
'Cause here's the thing

You broke me big time
It's funny and I'm laughing, baby
That you think I'm alright
But I'm actually bloody motherf*cking batshit crazy

You broke me big time
It's funny and I'm laughing, baby
Oh, you think I'm alright
But I'm actually bloody motherf*cking batshit crazy

Therapy

Destiny, when we met I told you I'd been treated carelessly
Next to me in the bed of poison oak you were the remedy
You couldn't have loved a girl any harder than you loved me
So I couldn't ask anymore and I know it's wrong

But now you're gone, honey, I can't sleep
I'm just talking to your memory
I still love you but you're taking me
From your arms

Back to therapy, therapy
Oh lord, I'm going back to therapy, therapy
You swore it's somewhere I would never be, never be
So how come you're taking me
From your arms and back to therapy?

I was abandoned, but you swore that you'd be there for me
Carefully, you touched me, now your touch will last for centuries
You couldn't have loved a girl any harder than you loved me
So I couldn't ask any more, at least I had you for this long

Now you're gone, honey, I can't sleep
I'm just talking to your memory
I still love you but you're taking me
From your arms

Back to therapy, therapy
Oh lord, I'm going back to therapy, therapy
You swore it's somewhere I would never be, never be
So how come you're taking me from your arms?

You gave me the world and you gave me your word
It built me like a promise 'til it broke me like a curse
With your shadow in the door, you were turning in your key
I knew loving you was letting you leave

Now you're gone, honey, I can't sleep
I'm just talking to your memory
I still love you but you're taking me
From your arms

Back to therapy, therapy
Oh lord, I'm going back to therapy, therapy
You swore it's somewhere I would never be, never be
So how come you're taking me from your arms (taking me)

Back to therapy, therapy
Oh lord, I'm going back to therapy, therapy
You swore it's somewhere I would never be, never be
So how come you're taking me
From your arms back to therapy?

There It Goes

I'm back in London
I'm running down Columbia Road
They're selling sunflowers cheap
I'm reading novels
I'm dating but just dating for sport
I'm getting coffees for free

I hang all my art
And I dance with the coven
As the rain falls hard on the street
And I, I'm doing better
I made it to September
I can finally breathe

I thought I gave you the best of me but
The love we had was covered in snow
I had to let it go
Yeah, the love we had was eating me whole
I had to send it home
Oh, there it was, heaven knows
There it was, now there it goes

I feel it changing
I'm young but I am aging and I
Need you less than I did
I threw a party
He kissed me right in front of my friends
I felt so far from the cliffs

I sleep through the night
And I go where I'm wanted
And I don't need your light to be lit
But oh, the way I loved you
I will not be embarrassed of that
Just should've known when to quit
Now I'm over the worst of it 'cause

The love we had was covered in snow
I had to let it go
Yeah, the love we had was eating me whole
I had to send it home
Oh, there it was (there it was)
Heaven knows (heaven knows)
There it was (there it was)

Now there it goes (the love we had)
Oh, there it goes (the love we had)
Oh, there it goes (the love we had)
Oh, there it goes (the love we had)

A new home, a swan dive
A blank page, a rewrite
A black cat in the streetlights
An open door
The comedown of closure
The girls and I do yoga
I wake up and it's October
The loss is yours

Brick lane in the brisk cold
And red wine on his hip bone
The witching hours of Stockholm that you won't see
Sunflowers in the kitchen
No heartbreak in remission
The universe is shifting
And it's all for me, all for me

The love we had was covered in snow
I had to let it go
Yeah, the love we had was eating me whole
I had to send it home (I had to send it home)
Oh, there it was (there it was)
Heaven knows (heaven knows)
There it was (there it was)
Now there it goes (there it goes)
(There it goes, there it goes, there it goes)

History of Man

Tale as old as honey
A moment everybody knows
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
Inside the walls of Jericho
I couldn't believe it
How you could just stop wanting me
You burnt down Easter Island
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me

I've seen it in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
She loves him more than anyone ever has
In the history, the history of man
It's the history of man (yep)

You didn't even falter
Didn't look back once, did you?
So Samson blamed Delilah
But given half the chance I
I would've made him weaker too
Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring
You walked out, oh, without sweating

I've seen it in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
She loves him more than anyone ever has
In the history (history), the history of man

He stole her youth and promised heaven
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
You are still my great obsession

I've seen it in the poems and the sands
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history (history), the history of man
I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb
I beg you and you don't understand
I hold on, I try to hold your hand
I save you a seat and then you say you want to stand
So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
It's the history, the history of man
