Capital
“Capital” is the second single and second track from the EP Listen
Story
I came up with the chord progression for this and really liked the chunkiness and the big slide. The main idea for the lyric came pretty quickly. This isn’t the first song I wrote about not liking and or not wanting to see someone. I think I got that from “Leave Me Alone” by New Order. That was probably the first time I really realized that relationship songs don’t always have to be about how much you like or love someone, they can also be about not liking someone and not wanting to see them.
Lyrics
I just want to even the score
Every time you knock on my door
I don’t want to see you anymore
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
Every time I ask you what’s for
When I’m answering the door
I don’t want to see you anymore
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
I just want you to leave me alone
Still you call me on the phone
I don’t want to see you anymore
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
How many times do I have to say
I just want you to go away
I don’t want to see you anymore
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
Do you realize it’s true
How many times should I say it to you
I don’t want to see you anymore
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
I just want to even the score
I just want to even the score
I just want to even the score
I just want to even the score
I just want to even the score
I just want to even the score
NO!
I just want to even the score (NO! NO! NO!)
NO!
I just want to even the score (NO! NO! NO!)
NO!
