Release date: 7th April 2023

From WILLOW: Live At Electric Lady

About This Track

'Bag Lady / Split (Live)' by WILLOW is a live track from the album 'WILLOW: Live At Electric Lady', released in 2023. The lyrics address a woman who is physically strained by carrying her burdens, with the repeated idea that the weight will eventually catch up. The verse bluntly challenges her assumptions, offering a warning framed as inevitability, and the refrain-like pull of “is you, is you” makes it feel less like sympathy and more like diagnosis.

"Bag Lady / Split (Live)" is a track by WILLOW, from the album WILLOW: Live At Electric Lady, released 7th April 2023. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about WILLOW.

Lyrics

Bag Lady / Split (Live)

Bag Lady

[Verse 1]

Bag lady, you gone hurt your back

Draggin' all them bags like that

I guess nobody ever told you

All you must hold onto

Is you, is you, is you

[Pre-Chorus]

One day, all them bags gon' get in your way

I said, one day, all them bags gon' get in your way

Said, one day, all them bags gon' get in your way

[Chorus]

So, pack light

Split

[Verse 1]

Fell asleep when you drove me home

Got too faded and raged

You had nothin' to say when I split

Tried to call you, you don't answer your phone

You're the only, only, only

I guess I was wrong to assume

Inside, I knew I hadn't decided

So I tried to hide it

[Chorus]

We never talk a lot

I need to see you 'cause you're on my mind

And say, "I never wanted

I never wanted this for us"

I'm always actin' tough

Close my heart and now I starve the love

You know I never wanted

I never wanted this for us
