Lyrics Maggie Rogers

Maggie Rogers

Retrograde

You said, “I cant take no more”

Lying by the sycamore

And I know we’ve both been here before

You said, “Fuck let's leave the blame”

But heartache always feels the same

And I know we’ve both been here before

Ooh, here I am

Settled in at your house

Broken blinds keep the light coming out

And I am just the shape I’m in

Ooh, here I am

Settled in, crying out

Finding all the things that I can't do without

Oh I am giving in

Oh I’m in retrograde

Oh I’m in retrograde

Retrograde

Standing staring straight ahead

Listening when Stevie says, mmm

“Come out of the darkness”

Feeling all I’ve ever known

Fall away and letting go

Oh come out of the darkness

Ooh, here I am

Settled in on your floor

Quieting all the world outside your door

And I am reckoning

Oh, here I am

Settling, freaking out

You bring me in to help me let me get me out

Oh I, I, I’m in retrograde

I’m in retrograde

Oh if only I could give in

If I could get out

If only I could break in

If you could let me out

If only I could let go

If I could sit out

If only I could get back

If I could let me out

Oh I’m in retrograde

I’m in retrograde

Ooh, ooh, ooh
