lyrics

‘Perform’

Verse 1
I used to think most certainly, assuredly, that I would be better on my own instead I’m sitting here alone
I like to think both young and old, both strong and bold, no words untold, but lately I’ve been feeling kinda dumb
(Oooooo)
If everybody thought like me I wouldn’t leave my house you see, I have this need to be the only one
(Oooooo)
The best you ever had, when thought about it makes you sad, wish you could just forget, but haven’t managed yet

Chorus
But that was then and this is now
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I’ve kinda lost my touch somehow
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
Nothin’s what it used to be
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I hope someone remembers me
when I’m gone

Verse 2
But that was then and this is now
I kinda lost my touch somehow, my confidence was bottomless, and now I’m more anonymous
Autonomous, I wish I were, get outta bed my girlfriend said, “today baby you’re gonna perform”
(Oooooo)
Get those bad thoughts outta here, and make the good ones reappear the only thing to fear is fear at least that’s what they tell me here
(Oooooo)
If it were truly that simple I’d squeeze it out like a pimple, and wash the dirt down into the sink

Chorus
But that was then and this is now
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I’ve kinda lost my touch somehow
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
Nothin’s what it used to be
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I hope someone remembers me
when I’m gone

Chorus
But that was then and this is now
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I’ve kinda lost my touch somehow
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
Nothin’s what it used to be
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
Maybe that’s okay with me
could be wrong
But that was then and this is now
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I’ve kinda lost my touch somehow
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
Nothin’s what it used to be
(Oooh-oo oooh-oo)
I hope someone remembers me
when I’m gone

about

jackie Toronto, Ontario

Before you ask, jackie is not a rock band. Or a pop band. Or one of those alt-indie darlings that you just know has been packaged for FROSH week. If you must put them in a box, it’s best you just call jackie a black sheep.
“We write songs for the everyday radio listener, and the guitar nerd,” Mohr, who’s prized possession is a 1962 ‘Silverstone 1423’ aka ‘Monicka Del Toro,’ explains.
