about

Ben — "This is a song about infidelity. Inspired by a Raymond Carver short story, my own life, and a Casio SK-1 keyboard sound. A judicious amount of spring reverb put this song in a weird place sonically adding to the weird place emotionally this song already puts me in."

Dennis — "Recorded while living across the river in Algiers, late at night after doing god knows what. It definitely wasn’t written down or anything. I just recorded the vocals really quickly, then listened the next morning. I definitely did this thinking my family would never hear it but here we are. Sex and violence are so closely tied together."

lyrics

it was a misfire, a mistake
it doesn't weigh down on me like it does for you
feeling all punch drunk in the backseat
of a yellow cab 1000 miles away from you
lost in the daylight of a hotel room
pouring liquor all over some girl i knew you knew
it was a misfire, a mistake
it doesn't weigh down on me like it does for you

hit me like you mean it
hit me fair square in the jaw
so everyone can see it
tell them all just what you saw
hit you like i need it
you’re my china doll and i risked it all
but i guess i can’t see it
so hit me cause i need it
