About This Track

‘Bumper’ by Cults is a 2011 pop track from the album ‘Cults’. The lyrics place the speaker in a messy, accusatory situation, cataloguing untruths and lies, and catching the fallout in the other person’s gaze, with a quick shove towards leaving. The tone is reactive and wounded, sharpened by a refusal to be convinced by explanations, and closes on a sense of incomplete understanding, framed by the line fragment, “I guess I don't have a”.

"Bumper" is a track by Cults, from the album Cults, released 29th May 2011. The track is 2:42 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Cults.

Lyrics

Bumper

He had been untrue
I had learned of all his lies
I took a look in her eyes
and she caught me by surprise
I threw his shit on the floor
She rushed me out of the door
He tried to explain
I didn't do anything
I knew that he was bad
Never knew just what he had
I guess I don't have a life
But I'll find one soon in time
Started crying my eyes out
I wish we never met
I never had a regret
I had it up to here
I can't take this anymore
She's this crazy now
There's no telling what's in store
Maybe I should start a life with someone new
And give up all my hopes for.
I went on a drive
And he caught me by surprise
I took a look in her eyes
And said I need you in my life
I'm in love with him
I'm in love with her
You gotta give me the chance
