Housewife Matilda Lyrics

Verse 1
I’d take my bike out to the woods
Hit the lake and head North
When the weather’s looking good
Doesn’t happen no more
I’d get a stitch in my side to match yours
Now I don’t get attached anymore

Chorus
I wanna push my body until it breaks
But I’m stuck here stationary
If you see Matilda
Just tell her I miss her
I got one good thing ripped away
And it took a while to hit me
I swear if you took Matilda
I think I might kill ya

Verse 2
Still got the key but now it opens nothing
No more riding home on Bloor Street in the evening
Did my best to find you now I’ll move on
And I won’t get attached anymore

Chorus
I wanna push my body until it brеaks
But I’m stuck here stationary
If you see Matilda
Just tell hеr I miss her
I got one good thing ripped away
And it took a while to hit me
I swear if you took Matilda
I think I might kill ya

Bridge
Just one more spin
With my face in the wind
I don’t wanna take up running
While the grief is setting in
Give me one more trip
Before you leave me unequipped
At the mercy of the buses stuck in traffic
