Lyrics:
5 years, you’ve been with him
Could you tell me whose time are you wasting?
The fruit’s gone blue, the well’s gone dry
She’s breaking 22 asking who am I?
Commiserating
In 2 blinks she’s onto the next fling
That’s all it took, to say goodbye
He scrambles for the hook but she’s off the line
She’s been waiting for the chance
Maybe she’s never lived
She told him she wouldn’t leave
Then she did
He’s not smiling with his eyes again
She said he doesn’t want her he just needs a friend
He’s only getting nervous now the rope is being severed
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
She’s laughing when he’s not around
He begs for her attention when he’s feeling down
She only reaches for him when he’s underneath the weather
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
He always cared, but he’s had enough
Cause all this constant fighting doesn’t feel like us
He knows it’s time to move on
She’s been waiting for this moment for so long
She never shared, why she felt so rough
She broke another heart so she could fall in love
She doesn’t give a shit if it sounds wrong
She’s fucking city boys to her favourite song
She’s been waiting for the chance
Maybe she’s never lived
She told him she wouldn’t leave
Then she did
And maybe he wanted more
Imagine the look on her face
If he’s sleeping on the floor
It seems he’s found his place
There’s no point in him anymore
She needs to find some space Tripping out of the back door
He says
I fell for someone new
But she’s just another girl that looks like you
What’s love if it’s not true
It’s just another girl that looks like you
He’s not smiling with his eyes again
She said he doesn’t want her he just needs a friend
He’s only getting nervous now the rope is being severed
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
She’s laughing when he’s not around
He begs for her attention when he’s feeling down
She only reaches for him when he’s underneath the weather
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
I fell for someone new
But she’s just another girl that looks like you
What’s love if it’s not true
It’s just another girl that looks like you

Besides the lyrics, the AMAZING music, and the lense it's recorded in, i think my favorite part of this is how much he's SMILING. He's having fun with making the video, and he's visibly proud of what he's made. I can't get enough of this song fr

But I just laughed at you grinning down the camera in your ridiculous glasses, and I moved my arms in a way that could be considered dancing. It felt good, so thanks. Also, you’re very talented, this song made me feel :)

I listened to this song on Spotify for a long while, I love the lyrics. They hurt me but in a good way, it's made me realize that relationships aren't healthy and can't last long if it's only a one way conversation. We need to be more open and honest with each other because that's what we need to keep relationships. I love your music James

Does this give anyone else ‘Two Door Cinema Club’ vibes?

[@nadineserpent]

I was looking for this comment!!!

[@barneychislett2818]

Yeah, it was very much immitates 'what you know' by two door, instrumentation and production especially. The first verse line is slightly similar tl the wyk chorus as well

[@baconplayz5673]

To me, Grapes is the James Marriott version of Model Buses. And I love it! Model Buses always seems to make me happy somehow, everytime I listen to it I just get excited and the vibe of the music video helps it even more. Grapes has been the first song I've ever listened too that's been able to almost encapsulate that exact same happiness I get when I listen to Model Buses. I still prefer Model Buses over Grapes, but it's a very close tie. The chorus is so fucking catchy and the music from the POV from the grape is just funny. I hope more songs like Grapes and Model Buses are made I love them!

[@Sofiamamitaa]

The amount of soul this song gives me is truly mesmerising It’s intensity of meaning makes me want to cry James you’re so beyond the realm of talented and I’m so glad you’ve made such heartfelt/addicting music for all of us to hear ❤

You can tell how good the music is from how he's smiling the whole video, you slayed king, love ya

[@mothkins3573]

This so is so good that in my school once I heard people in their music lesson playing this song

[@erstweilington]

i love that he uses the line "He's not smiling with his eyes again" as a lyric because it implies the subject smiles, but it's fake, as you can actually tell if a smile is genuine by looking at someone's eyes for creases. burying this down here because this song came out a a month and few before my birthday, which I spent alone in a house of someone i wish i never knew. basements aren't fun.

[@mae_5657]

I listen to Grapes unironically in public school. I fear the day I hear "I can sorta hear through your headphones."
