Holly Humberstone - Terminally Yours Lyrics

In "Terminally Yours," Holly Humberstone describes the dizzying moment when guarded independence collapses into sudden infatuation. She contrasts who she was yesterday, untamed and invincible, with who she becomes after one drink and an unforgettable face, so overwhelmed that she calls her own feelings a sorry fate. The repeated phrase about being terminally yours turns love into a sweet, incurable condition she cannot sober up from. By the doorway, sweaty and hoping for a kiss, she stops resisting and admits the magic of simply wanting to be wanted.

Terminally Yours Lyrics by Holly Humberstone

Yesterday
I was a different girl
Without a passenger
No one could tame me
Yesterday
I was invincible
I started to feel something
And feelings are scary

Then you buy me a drink
And you play hard to get
I’m thinking your face isn’t one
That I’ll be likely to forget
Head in the bathroom sink
I’m tryna to sober up

Oh, heaven help me now
Fuck sake, I’m in love

And now I’m much too drunk to call
I couldn’t hold it anymore
Your stupid face is my sorry fate
I am terminally yours
When they’re turning on the lights
There’s just one place I’ll be tonight
Ain’t it obvious, babe? I’m your sorry fate
I am terminally yours

I, I, I
I am terminally yours

It’s curious
You’re such a different boy
Far from the ones I knew
No notes, just look at you, look at you

So tell me where you are
That’s if I’m invited
Play the chords on your guitar
That get me all excited
Come on, turn me on your world
If you’ve got the guts

I’m such a silly girl
Fuck sake, I’m in love

I, I, I
I, I, I
I, I, I
I am terminally yours

You walk me to the doorway
I’m looking for my keys
I’m sorry that I’m a sweaty mess
It’s like, a million degrees
I’m chewing harder on my gum
You’re pulling on my sleeves
Is this a dream?
And wouldn’t it be magic
If you just kissed me now?
And wouldn’t it be magic
If you just kissed me now?
