Solar Flare 04:05
Was I torturing you? / with my heels in my hand / talking shit like a man / I knocked over a bar stool and ruined your plans / well honey / you're still torturing me / all my fears advertised / in those jade colored eyes / always talking 'bout suicide / and another man's wife / well / I never meant to take it this far / you said "I think I love you" / then you tried to jump out of my car // take back the mess you made / oh you're lying like you never cared / if you were a dying star / honey I was a solar flare / and he said / where are you going baby? / what are your plans? / are you gonna be alone tonight? / maybe we could go somewhere and ruin ourselves / do you wanna try? // you're so full of great ideas babe / get a cruise ship career / spend the next twenty years / watching half naked girls drinking ten dollar beers / you jump from one shipwreck to the next / oh is she stubborn like me? / is she still twenty three? / you say "how could the world be so cruel to a good man like me?" but // take back the mess you made / oh you're lying like you never cared / if you were a dying star / honey I was a solar flare / and I said / where are you going baby? / what are your plans? / did you come here on your own tonight? / maybe we could go somewhere and just talk things out / do you wanna try? / try // ah ha ha / ah ha ha // wish I could / take back the mess we made / of forever playing truth or dare / you're not lonely / just alone / hear you singing from your silver chair / but I'm singing / la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la / take it back baby / no / take back the mess you made / oh / la la la la la la //

I tried to outrun my future and hide in my past / when I ride by your house I ease off the gas / I see your porch light on / watch the shadows move inside / then I drive away / hoping you don't see me crying / there wasn't a damn thing you could've done to push me away / now there ain't a damn thing you could do to make me wanna stay // oh / doesn't it burn? / every one of these heartaches I've ever learned / oh / I just run away / 'cause it's easier than talking to the pain / it's easier to hide inside from the rain // he's driving down twenty six west / he's thirty four years old / he's getting married in June / looking forward to growing old / fell in love with a girl who showed him forgiveness / now his arm's reaching out / against the back of the headrest / it's the seat where his high school sweetheart used to sit / he made it out of that era alive / but she never did // oh / doesn't it burn? / every one of these memories you thought were gone / oh / we should just run away / 'cause it's easier than talking to the pain / it's easier to hide inside from the rain // oh / oh / ooh // oh / it always burns / every one of these heartaches / I've ever learned / oh / we should just run away / 'cause it's easier than talking to the pain / it's easier to hide inside from the rain // there wasn't a damn thing you could've done to push me away //

about

Paisley and The Birdwalkers Columbia, South Carolina

“Paisley Marie delivers a distinct take on country meets power-pop. Carefully crafted lyrics add a layer of poeticism to these new tracks.”

— Kate Bryan, extrachill.com

“Columbia’s Paisley Marie sees herself as a folk singer as much as a country artist, offering lyrics rich with poetic honesty, swept along by her buoyantly Southern croon.”

— Jordan Lawrence, Free Times SC
