sad day

lyrics:
—
every time you look outside your window
everything is just the same as before
you are turning 'round and 'round
you see, it's a sad day for sure

taste the fruit of me
make love to all you see

ah, would you make a, make a
make a wish on my love?
ah, would you make a, make a
make a wish on my love?

take a chance on all the things you can't see
make a wish on all that lives within thee
if you're foolishly in love with me
it's a fine day for sure

you're running
and i tried to make it work before
you're running
i made you sad before
i, then i
have you ever made a wish before?
i see you running
i made you sad before.

i can imagine a world when my arms are embraced around you
i lie naked and pure with intentions cleanse you and take you
the city howls with a cry to seduce you and claim you
so it's time
and it's a sad day for sure

FKA twigs (Tahliah)'s thoughts:

'sad day'
"It's like, 'will you take another chance with me? Can we escape the mundane? Can we escape the cyclical motion of life and be in love together and try something that's dangerous and exhilarating? Yeah, I know I've made you sad before, but will you give me another chance?' I wrote this song with Benny Blanco and Koreless. I love to set myself challenges, and it was really exciting to me, the challenge of retaining my sound while working with a really broad group of people. I was lucky working with Benny, in the fact that he creates an environment where, as an artist, you feel really comfortable to be yourself. To me, that's almost the old-school definition of a producer: they don't have to be all up in your grill, telling you what to do. They just need to lay a really beautiful, fertile soil, so that you can grow to be the best you in the moment."
