Never Get To Love You Lyrics By Connie Constance

I love this song so much. It’s my baby. The whole first verse is really just poetry; the lyrics aren’t super obvious. It’s also the first song where you hear our field recordings. Sam and I went to the New Forest and recorded loads of different nature sounds for the album: birds, trees moving, us stomping around and dancing in the open air. We also got a karaoke mic and swiped it through the air really fast, so it made all these weird sounds when the wind caught it. I have warm memories of making this song—it was such a fun, wholesome day.

[Verse 1]
Hey, green, what’s blue?
Your forest eyes look damp and your body all grown
And now winter’s gone
Are you after someone new?
With fresh bark for your dimming flame
Don’t feel bad about the truth
I know you so well that I know when you’re not
And I get it, we’ve been growing apart
As I no longer feel intertwined in your heart

[Chorus]
I’ll never get to know you
Like I thought I would
When we’re old and forgotten
With rich kids and out the hood
I won’t forget how you used the chip on your shoulder
When we’re out of wood
Just know that I’ll always want the bеst for you

[Verse 2]
We went from dizz kisses undеr fairy lights
To causing a ruckus on the streets at night
Twin flames, never felt you so alive
When you’re rude and I back it
And we’re up for a fight
All the dizz kisses under fairy lights
And hungover Mondays putting the world to rights
Last cigs when everything gets short and tight
When love works, it’s so good
It sucks that

[Chorus]
I’ll never get to love you like I thought I would
When we’re old and forgotten
With rich kids and out the hood
Won’t forget how you used the chip on your shoulder
When we’re out of wood
Just know that I’ll always want the best for you

[Post-Chorus]
Use the chip on your shoulder
When we’re out of wood
Just know that I’ll always want the best for you

[Verse 3]
The near misses after too many pints
Sleeping all day, then we’re up all night
No shame
We sabotage, then celebrate
If you’re in, then I’m in
We’re both alright

[Pre-Chorus]
The dizz kisses turn to love bites
Bloody blisters ’cause we partied till light, insane
Couple times I lost my brain
When love works, it’s so good
It sucks that

[Chorus]
I’ll never get to love you like I thought I would
When we’re old and forgotten
With rich kids and out the hood
Won’t forget how you used the chip on your shoulder
When we’re out of wood
Just know that I’ll always want the best for you
