my new ep 'heart shaped bruise' is out now: etta.lnk.to/heartshapedbruise
«Salt Lake City» is wrapped in delusion. The idea of moving somewhere for someone and thinking that it will mend things, when deep down you know it won’t. I think it’s something a lot of us have done, not necessarily moving country, but compromising a little too much for someone that isn’t worth it. Once it became a duet with Matt Maltese, it clicked.

Etta Marcus & Matt Maltese - Salt Lake City (Lyrics)
Last night you told me,
Let’s leave and find ourselves
In Salt Lake City,
Are you serious?
You’re all your mother has
Could you make it out of south east
And cross state lines
That’s the hardest part, honey
If you’re serious
You know I’d take the risk I’d do anything
And this town doesn’t suit you
This town doesn’t suit me
Let’s start a new life in Salt Lake City
You cry the day through
I’m dead and empty
Let’s hope it’s different in Salt Lake City
Twelve story mountains
This water’s cold and clear
I can see your reflection in it
Your eyes are wrapped in
The creases on your face
People here are bad
But you speak of a place they’re not
Where your bitterness turns to dust
And this town doesn’t suit you
This town doesn’t suit me
Let’s start a new life in Salt Lake City
You cry the day through
I’m dead and empty
Let’s hope it’s different in Salt Lake City
And this town doesn’t suit you
This town doesn’t suit me
Let’s start a new life in Salt Lake City
You cry the day through,
I’m dead and empty
Let’s hope it’s different in Salt Lake City
