About This Track

'Darling' by Orchards is a 2018 pop track from the EP 'Losers/Lovers EP'. In the lyrics, the singer pleads for recognition from someone who cannot fully commit, framing trust as slow to arrive and self-worth as something tested by comparison. There is a wary, self-protective tone, captured in the line “at arm’s reach”, as they weigh what they can offer against what came before. The song sounds like a careful withdrawal from a relationship that still refuses to settle.

"Darling" is a single by Orchards, from the album Losers/Lovers EP, released 5th July 2018. The track is 3:50 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Orchards.

Lyrics

Darling

Can't you see I've tried to make me the one on your side?
It's taken so long for you to find the trust to keep me in your life
I think I've seen too much
You had a whole life before me I can't compete
I think I've seen too much, I need to keep my heart at arm's reach

I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew, and I know I can be yours
I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew

I'll forget, all the memories I missed out on this time
If you forgive my reckless impulses that are keeping me love blind
I think I've seen too much
I think I've seen too much

I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew, and I know I can be yours
I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew, and I know I can be yours
Darling

I'm not nothing at all, at all
I'm not nothing at all, at all
I'm not nothing at all, at all
I'm not nothing at all...

I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew, and I know I can be yours
I'm not nothing at all, if I'm something to you
Even someone you knew, and I know I can be yours

I'm not nothing at all, at all
I'm not nothing at all

    Orchards - Trust Issues EP

    Ginormous choruses, relentless guitar riffs and enough power to light a small village.

    Orchards: "We've channelled this pissed off energy into five absolutely banging tracks"

    New music from Orchards is pretty much always a nice time. Upbeat, fun and angsty in a we've-been-here-too-isn't-it-blah kinda way, the Brighton alt-pop...
