Isimo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jesus saves and Bubba scores
A childhood you'll always mourn
You found your things out on the floor now
And you believed in every maybe
"Sha-la-la", it drove you crazy
Tough as nails and built for breaking

[Chorus]
But you were just a kid when they told you
You'd been born to bleed, little soldier
With your garden heart and sentimental boulder
Oh, it pulled you down

Look at you, you made it out

[Verse 2]
Now it's time to go it's time to chase it
Break the locks out of the Basement
Rearview mirror to the faithless
And you believed in every maybe
"Sha-la-la", I love you, baby
Told them all you were good at breaking

[Chorus]
But you were just a kid when they told you
You'd been born to bleed, little soldier
With your magnet heart and sentimental boulder
Oh, it pulled you down

But look at you, you made it out

What did Bleachers say about "Isimo"?
Genius Answer

Jack Antonoff:

I see marriage and partnership in a very intense way. It’s easy to share the fun stuff with someone, but will you share the really ugly parts of yourself? It’s not an attractive part of myself; I can spin an attractive concept that sounds poetic about someone dealing with grief, but the day-to-day of that is not fun and attractive. I wanted to celebrate that in that song.
