Welcomed back to the city lights, I hear he still writes about July
So I stand in my spa, with rose and a heart
Drowning in self pity, loathing you for your art
And I can’t say that I feel bad
I sleep pretty great at night, thank you for asking
You seem to think that you saved my back, but if you were my hero
If you were my hero
Why was I always so sad?
Talk me sober, on the drive home that night
And I thought a God wouldn’t know how it feels
To be alone, nor would I
And I can’t say that I feel bad, you tried to save me, save me back
Cause I realised that I’m all that I have, that if you were my hero
If you were my hero
Why was I always so sad?
Well I hope you had fun, hope you had fun
Tearing it apart
Cause if you were my hero, if you were my hero
If you were my hero
Why was I always so sad?

Nice material from this Austrailian singer-songwriter that reminds me of early Angel Olsen. Julia has been signed by Polyvinyl who will release her 2016 LP in the USA. Art Fin
