Song of the week - On My Heart - School of Seven Bells


On My Heart is the second track on the 2016 album SVIIB by New York based indie rock band School of Seven Bells. The song features a number of food based idioms: 
to feed someone a line = to deceive someone with false, insincere or exaggerated talk.
to stew = to be troubled or agitated.
to simmer =  to be about to have an angry outburst.


[Verse 1]
It hurts to know
That you don't trust me
When you try to bust me
It only makes me trust you
Less to know that I don't get respect
When I've given you my word
And you go with what you heard
Instead you go and simmer through the night
Then we end up in a fight
And it's such a waste of time
Now I know you're feeding me a line
But you say that you're in love
But you're stewing all the time

[Verse 2]
I know you got a lot to question
That made a big impression
I know that you've been hurt for a while--why did you apologize
When it was before my time is an answer I will give you
And so when you call me on the phone
And you hear I'm not alone
No it doesn't mean that things have gone wrong
There was a you before me
There was a me before you
And that's the way it goes

[Chorus]
You don't need to worry on my heart
It's written one way
You won't give her the ground, just forget her
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe

[Chorus]
You don't need to worry on my heart
It's written one way
You won't give her the ground, just forget her
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe

[Outro]
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
With me you're love-safe
