About This Track
‘Avoid Things’ by Tems is a 2021 song from the album ‘If Orange Was A Place’. The lyrics look at longing and attachment, with the morning after absence feeling vivid in thought, and a repeated insistence on moving back towards the other person. One moment frames closeness as something carried in the depths of the mind, then the song pivots into an urgent, almost compulsive desire to reach them, as if the only option is “onto you”.
"Avoid Things" is a track by Tems, from the album If Orange Was A Place, released 15th September 2021. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Tems.
