Lyrics:
Rachel was a year older
when I was in the second grade.
I thought she might know everything.
I took her word like a golden ring.
I asked her how to win my man
and she said, “I know just the thing.”
Gave me lipgloss and a hair toss
and, after school, a lesson in kissing.
She called me by the name of her crush,
I couldn't decide if she was Cole or Justin.
I think I called her baby or darling most the time.
We’d take turns being seduced,
imagining the day it would come into use,
imagining the day we’d start breaking hearts
and taking names.
She wanted a three story house.
I wanted to live by a body of water
with my children and their father,
children and their father,
three sons and a beautiful daughter.
Rachel’s family moved out of town.
I don't remember when we stopped hanging out,
but I still wear a letter R charm on my bracelet
and wonder if she thinks of me as her first kiss

[@grahamnash7631]

Songwriting and poetic playful lyrics finally seem to be returning to music. Really captured a moment in time. Instant classic!

[@davineuskens21]

It was very beautiful

[@_smileyface_]

already have them memorized

[@nicoletti345]

Crazy how I saw you in concert three years ago yesterday and now you’re making music for your 4th album!❤️

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Calling it now -- song of the '22 summer, edging out "Daytona Sand." The plaintive, melancholy vocal, the big chords, the gentler strumming -- and the POWER CHORD ENDING for the win.

[@laurelmartens9589]

Rachel wya?? Do you still think of her as your first kiss?? Let us know

[@scott12xu]

I always think of the Buzzcocks’ “Love You More” when this song plays, maybe because of the distorted guitars, fast (for Dacus) tempo and song brevity (“Love You More” made the UK Top 20 with a run time of 1:47, one of the shortest songs to get into the UK charts). What do you think? (PS: It’d be cool if Lucy covered “LYM” but that’s just me…)

[@malcolmsxs]

Such a pretty video. I love your storytelling

[@biblelovergirl]
