song is afraid of heights by boygenius.

lyrics
i know that i fucked up when i
told you i'm afraid of heights
it made you wanna test my courage
you made me climb a cliff at night
you wanted me to jump and i declined
you called me a coward, i replied
"i don't wanna live forever
but i don't wanna die tonight"
when the black water ate you up
like a sugar cube in a teacup
i got the point you were makin'
when i held my breath 'til you came up
there's been a run of fires downtown
on half-built construction sites
i know you never liked a townhouse
i've seen you climb a crane at night
if they ever catch you at it
i know you'd want me to be proud
that you took a rich man's dream
and brought it with you on your way down
"'cause one man's dream is another man's death"
i remember when you told me that
didn't know what to say, so i just laughed
but now i know it's not funny
i never rode a motorcycle
i've never smoked a cigarette
i wanna live a vibrant life
but i wanna die a boring death
i know i was a disappointment
know you wanted me to take a risk
not everybody gets the chance to live
a life that isn't dangerous
you called me a crybaby
but you're the one who got teary
tellin' me what you believe
how we're stuck in entropy
how it hurts to hope
oh, it hurts to hope for more
oh, it hurts to hope the future
will be better than before

    the "oh it hurts to hope the future will be better than before" along with the scene where they're talking about where they'll be in 10 years. utena editors are ripping me APART
  • @xanecho
    "I dont want to live forever but i dont want to die tonight" is PERFECT
  • @violetstrations
    how do you always match the clips perfectly with the lyrics oh my god. “one man’s dream is another man’s death” KILLED me holy fuck
  • @starseekers108

    this song alreayd makes me cry so this was like. hooooly shit!! absolutely beautiful, so clearly and thoughtfully made. so efficient with its emotional punches that i can't even pick one out to highlight! awesome work.

    This is so well-made it makes my heart ache. It's not afraid to take its time, but it's so succinct. It has exactly as much weight as it needs. I don't know what to do about it!
