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.

[@LenarrYoung]

One of my favorite songs rn

[@369Smokey]

facts lil bro

[@LenarrYoung]

@@skyzazel😂😂

[@LenarrYoung]

@@skyzazelNow Im listening to it again 😭

[@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.

[@cassandrapalmer6968]

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

[@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.

[@ixules]

I miss the early ‘00s rock music and this is taking me back in some way. Thank you.

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

❤

[@slackstarfish8133]

Probably one of my favorite bands I’ve discord in a while

[@paulnnate]

Thanks Royel Otis for bringing us beautiful music.

[@samuraijack6870]

I don’t know how to explain how fuzzy and hopeful this music helps me feel. Love this ❤

[@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 UA-cam. My new favourite indie rock band 🥹

[@Facesculpt]

Same!! That cover was really something else

[@Mrgreenjeans578]

Yes I just heard that this past week!!

[@TheVick456]

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

[@NelsonMandela961]

melody is infectious

[@jesss5578]

You guys never release a bad song, hits the vibe every time. This album is gonna be crazy 🔥

[@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

[@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

[@muhammadnaufalfahrisa4547]

Some kind of strokes + blur god damn it 🔥🔥🔥

[@Wonderlvnd]

This song is the GOAT, honestly haven’t heard a song this good in years!!!

[@SamBrown5359]

Amen my man, same here 👍

[@Riudan]

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

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

It's literally music to my ears

[@Charlwj0]

This song has regained my trust in modern music. I’m so, so happy that this song exists. I’m getting vibes from the 80s with this banger

[@watersilk]

walking music videos ALWAYS hit

[@chrisa9857]

This is a fucking BANGER

[@haroldprincipe9585]

Tu estass en Doble Nuevee!!

[@FeverDVA]

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.

[@jamesfoster4106]

Royels guitar tone is sweeeeet

[@saku.544]

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

[@simonkyri1044]

Me to bro

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

Same bruv

[@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.

[@rileyconnolly663]

If you listen to the lyrics it's actually a really sad song

[@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

[@chickenkaraage5458]

Gives me the feeling that life is worth living

[@eduolivier8520]

While Vampire Weekend are active again I'd love to see a collab. Been a big VW fan since 2009 and Royel Otis is giving off a lot of the same type of vibe to me. Only heard of them about two weeks ago with the viral Linger cover obviously and since have listened to everything I can find flat out😂

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 to drive, just stay there
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
