In "W2F," Emma Ogier wrestles with a love that makes everything feel impossible, from breathing to leaving. The pull toward this person is so strong it threatens her sense of being a good friend and forces her off a self-righteous path. The repeated wish to do kickflips suggests wanting lightness and play, yet she keeps slipping. By the end, fear softens into admission: this connection is part of her, and she asks them to stand beside her and see the view.
W2F Lyrics by Emma Ogier
Hard to find, hard to leave you out
Hard to touch, hard to slow it down
Out of line, out of time to lose
Hard to breathe when I think ’bout you
Think ’bout you, needin’ you
I wanna do kickflips, pickin’ up hardly
I wanna be a good friend when I fear that I’m not one
End of my shameless high road, surrendering
Get on my side and better look at the view, the view
Wanna flip, then you’re takin’ it back
Start to slip, tryna keep it on track
The way you held me down every time
Everything I do
Hard to breathe when I think ’bout you
Think ’bout you, needin’ you
I wanna do kickflips, pickin’ up hardly
I wanna be a good friend when I fear that I’m not one
End of my shameless high road, surrendering
Get on my side and better look at the view, the view
What a way to cast a shadow
Turn around, turn around
I wanna do kickflips, pickin’ up hardly
I wanna be a good friend when I fear that I’m not one
Don’t wanna be scared when I say you’re a part of me
Get on my side and better look at the view, the view
