About This Track

'Temporary Loan' by Marika Hackman is an indie pop track from the album 'Covers' (2020). In the lyrics, the singer dwells on late-night longing, a lost love who has slipped into their private thoughts, and the sting of realising she no longer loves them. There is a lonely, unresolved mood, with repeated references to waiting, considering another day, and being alone. At one point, the song snaps its focus to confession, "I sing the blues most every night".

"Temporary Loan" is a track by Marika Hackman, from the album Covers, released 13th November 2020. The track is 3:56 long. It's filed under Indie Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Marika Hackman.

Lyrics

Temporary Loan

I sing the blues most every night
And I wait for the one I lost
She snuck into my secret files
And she read my mind
She belongs to someone
I know how she spells her name
I'll consider another day
Without the one I love
Without the one I love
Alone

She no longer loves me
I'm supposed to forget about her
I was just a harbour
A temporary love
A temporary love
On loan

I think I know what's on her mind
And I'll try to be satisfied
She sneaks around my secret life
And she wrote me down
Someone else will help her
I'll pretend to forget the past
I'll look for a love that lasts
A love that never dies
A love that never dies
Alone
