Description
Love always seems like a simple word until you encounter its winding paths. Here, it is like an old wooden plaque with names scratched into it: it seems nice, but the splinter in your finger will remind you of itself for a long time. The song has a lot of air and pauses, as if the conversation is interrupted when there is not enough courage to finish it. Questions sound more often than answers, and this only makes it more honest. It seems to be about a breakup, but it feels not like drama, but like a quiet ritual of letting go - with a taste of freedom and slight fatigue.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Learn to disappear
Hours south of here
Where space won't work out
Time won't let you down
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Wouldn't you love me if it was easy?
Hate I made it hard
Queen of the season, born to be leavin'
How about me? How about you? What'd you call it?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
The church of letting go
Swear I didn't know
Carved our names in wood
Got along, but we never felt good
Wouldn't you love me if it was easy?
Hate I made it hard
Queen of the season, born to be leavin'
How about me? How about you? What'd you call it?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
