About This Track

'Caroline' by Lowertown is an alternative track from the album 'Friends' (2019). The lyrics find a sleepless narrator caught in repetition, waking every night and struggling to settle, alone, while waiting for change that does not arrive. Boredom and stagnation colour the outlook, with the song turning from wishful thinking to resignation, insisting that words will not fix things and that life is reduced to routine. There is a bleak directness to the voice, summing it up in the line, “Too tired to be sleeping”.

"Caroline" is a track by Lowertown, from the album Friends, released 28th January 2019. The track is 4:03 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Lowertown.

Lyrics

Caroline

Too tired to be sleeping
I wake up every night, I wake up every night
And I can't fall back asleep again, it's much harder alone
I'm waiting for something to change, but life just stays the same
It's boring to death

Words won't get you anywhere, just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things will make you feel bad after long
And I won't stop thinking about all this time I've used on you
And all this time I've wasted knowing I knew what to do

Words won't get you anywhere, just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things will make you feel bad after long
And I won't stop thinking about all this time I've used on you
And all this time I've wasted knowing I knew what to do

Writing things on a page won't make them any more true
Getting tired and opening your mouth won't make anyone like you
More than I do
Hiding the old wrappers of what I used to be, your husks are falling off
I can finally set you free from what you were to me
From what you saw in me

Words won't get you anywhere, just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things will make you feel bad after long
And I won't stop thinking about all this time I've used on you
And all this time I've wasted pretending I knew what I wanted to do with you

Words won't get you anywhere, just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things will make you feel bad after long
And I won't stop thinking about all this time I've used on you
And all this time I've wasted pretending I knew what I wanted to do with you
