This sounds like the prequel to Manhattan, and I am in love with this. This song is so beautiful, as with all of Sara’s music. Can’t wait for everything to come♥️

I hope this means a new album soon. She is everything to me (in the least creepy way possible lol)

If this is a preview of the next record’s sound then I am already so hyped, I’m stuck between wanting it soon and wanting her to take her time to fall in love with it 🥲

That sounds and feels like you are plucking my heart strings, and its onslaught of emotions, with every note of that voice, of perfection; and all the emotiveness on of a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter that you are Bareilles. King and Queen of Everything; IMHO.

Love it! I idolise this woman. What a wordsmith!

God, I love that woman so much!

She continues to make music that speaks to the soul. Her voice is so mature but still has an innocence in it, and always draws you in. When this single gets released I will be putting it on an endless loop!

the lyrics...everything... crying. she just knows how to capture the essence of a moment so well in music I just... Ugggh I love it. so cathartic.

She's just my fav ❤ no one else like her

Thank you for this! She posted a while ago a video on Instagram singing a little bit of this song, and since that moment this melody has been living in my head, such a heart touching song.

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

So beautiful❤️

Absolutely beautiful 🥰

So beautiful! 🌻💛🌻💛

Saw her in concert in Pittsburgh Pa. November of 2019, and she was outstanding. An outstanding singer, writer, producer, and she is a pure talent.

Thank you for uploading all these videos ❤❤❤

phenomenal all around

Aww. A new song! I'm so jealous of people who live in the USA for this one only reason!

I've been anticipating her next album for so long.

Lyrics (from what I'm hearing, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) : Say leave If that's what you want from me And i'll pack my bags and go Drive outpast the county lines Then sleep alone No hard questions from my soft lips Ones you sore to me and killed a kiss If you're asking to end this Then please Say leave Ooh ooh oh You walked into the party Still had smoke in your mouth Light was dancing on you like a fire broke out I was silent in the corner Like a funeral muorning Watching everything I've ever been without you Fall away Fall away It was a desperate drug I could never get enough It was something I could touch in you that touched in me The person who I wanted to uncover You were more than just a lover You were infinite And so was i And so were we Or so I believed Oooh oooh oooh We've got watercolour memory You see what you want See what you wanna see Won't plead my case to change your mind No use for that now I'll fade into the background So someday you can say how Undeniable the end became How we both could see it coming But the truth is much more cruel If i'd seen it I'd be running to Wrap you in My arms Build a castle out of Armor Hide us both away I would've done anything to save us Burn cities to the ground Take that vicious word out of your mouth But here I am my blinding loving me So you can see leave If that's what you want from me I'll have to give that Drive outpast the county lines And I won't look back These wounds are gonna heal And some mystery will be revealed And i'll never be the same 'cause Ever love that didn't stay To which i've never been the one to say Leave Ooh oooh oooh

I just found this! Did she give any background to this song? She’s been with Joe for so long and they seem like such a perfect match I didn’t think she still had this heartbreak in her anymore. Haha. It’s a beautiful song.
