Lyrics:
Heading for the door
Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there
I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right
If ever there’s a time
If ever there’s a time that ain’t fair
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk just stay here
You know it’s just a fight
I know you wanna ride
If you’re never getting out of this mood
Forget you
If you’re drinking all your old man’s booze
He’ll get you
Forget you
Stop looking for a knife
Stop looking through the drawer it ain’t there
I can’t afford a lie
I can’t afford to lay the night down
You’re way too drunk to drive
You’re way too drunk to drive just stay there
You know it’s just a fight
Stop heading for the door
Stop heading for the car you gave me
I can’t apologise
I can’t apologise you ain’t there
I’m in it for the night
I’m in it for the night we had here
You know it don’t feel right
I know you wanna ride
I know you won the right

[@wearenixx5833]

Sameeee best band I’ve heard in a minute

[@user-ux5wh4qj1h]

Royel Otis deserves the album of the year 2024.

[@forhuey]

as much as I love this album, Mk.gee is top for me

[@user-ux5wh4qj1h]

Love both but I stand for RO, more songs are bangers.

[@forhuey]

Now that I have listened to their entire discography my brain chemistry isn't the same. I'm in love.

[@0n3_Ch1ll_P1ll]

Same though

[@wetherbeethatistheband]

this album is gonna be insane

[@NEFFxsaVaGe]

Where is the lie here? What did you like better fried rice or adore?

[@wetherbeethatistheband]

@@NEFFxsaVaGe i liked adored better but they’re both sick. this one might be the best so far

[@NEFFxsaVaGe]

​@@wetherbeethatisthebandThe guitar riff at 1:24 is so catchy; The melodies are so melancholic. Otis’s voice is wrapped in velvet.

[@tannerpayne4384]

Wait wait wait, you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

Absolutely

[@hudsongreeningmentor]

This song is special. It’s new but feels nostalgic. Reminds me of the indie music that was around 10-15 years ago, in a good way

[@thomasbolz5470]

reminds me of Opus Orange

[@blk05c]

Giving me The Strokes vibes plus there's this insane syncopation with the electronic loop, whew, what a track!🤯

[@pugsnhogz]

I get DNTEL vibes

[@jamesfoster4106]

My family & I saw these guys at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta this past weekend. I was personally there for other bands. My son wanted me to check them out, I had never heard them. I was captivated by their sound immediately. Definitely the best surprise and one of my favorite performances of the whole weekend. Sooooo glad I saw them and now have a new band to follow.

[@whut-da]

Very cool memory. What bands were you there to see?

[@gedsonsanti1]

I DO understand U

[@hkkelli120]

Yep caught them at SK too...I was on the other side of the park but caught Murder on the Dance floor...I'm seeing them in Nashville in October too❤

[@watersilk]

walking music videos ALWAYS hit

[@TheLoudog44]

Haim agrees with you

[@yourhealthkick]

You know when the older generations say "they don't make music like this anymore". They just haven't discovered this or any other indie music yet.

[@jluv816]

I found it ❤

[@ajsledzep]

Exactly! If you really look, you’ll always find the jewels. People won’t stop being creative, and now that most can DIY record it’s only getting better 🎉

[@emariadrake]

I'm Gen X and this is facts!! Indie is my favorite genre!

[@tralala33]

Another Gen X that stands corrected. This band is fantastic.

[@rywallace4768]

I'm 32 now and I was literally just stood thinking this. I would've loved these just as much if they were around when I was 15. It's easy to look back at this age and feel like your generation and the generations before that had the best music and stuff until you stumble upon gems like this band, I love that the current younger generation is getting music like this.

[@TheVick456]

i actually can’t stop listening to this lately.. on repeat all the time

[@CH.I.L.L]

New anthem, parking farther away so I can listen in earbuds as I walk into work. Want to skip/walk but I'll just walk cool like him. I'll save the dancing for later alone in my room.

[@Riudan]

gosh those notes are like a crying guitar it's beautiful

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

It's literally music to my ears

[@haroldprincipe9585]

Tu estass en Doble Nuevee!!

[@caleb700]

Here from the cover of Linger and I am already a huge fan. I have such a deep emotional connection to Indie/Alternative/Experimental type music and Royel Otis hits that nail right on the head. From everything I am hearing you guys will definitely be added to my daily playlist. ❤️

[@short-lived9671]

Me too… saw it on TikTok and I immediately searched them on KZbin. My new favourite indie rock band 🥹

[@Facesculpt]

Same!! That cover was really something else

[@Cthomas5678]

Yes I just heard that this past week!!

[@paulnnate]

Thanks Royel Otis for bringing us beautiful music.

Hard couple of days, needed this

[@mcliloldbigyoung]

Hope you're having a better go of it this week, the good parts are right around the corner, sometimes you cant see the light until that turn comes, just hang on and keep putting one foot in front of the other

[@juppheynckes6110]

They remind me of the french band Phoenix ❤

[@in_cursive]

This gives me a lot of Metronomy vibes

[@mikeangelo94]

The chord progression and melody sounds ripped straight from The Look. I like this song better, but it’s weird that they’re so similar.

Claro que si

[@saku.544]

this song's got crack in it, i'm addicted

[@drewpizza4343]

After pre-ordering the album, I've had this song on at work over 50 times. The glide and strumming of the song reminds me of fresh groomed trails and carving down a mountain just in front of an avalanche...Such a soar in my head, cheers it's bliss.

[@mcliloldbigyoung]

The ssx tricky 2 soundtrack we never had but the world needs

[@upperlolbruce3378]

Consistency is incredible

[@GustavoAFVideos]

Que gran tema ❤ toneraza 🎉 saludos desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪 otra más a la lista, gracias a Radio Doble 9💪🏼

[@dieselbaby]

This is incredibly catchy, you guys did a fantastic job blending in those chiptune-esque kinds of synth sounds with the rest of the guitar melody...was rather flawless, actually, and something I can attest to being quite difficult to pull off, firsthand. Had no idea who you were or what to expect prior to this video popping up in my feed but I'll 100% be checking out more.

[@cupidsfall]

Like a modern version of postal service such great heights
