Recover Lyrics


Carved earth, cold
Hiding from you in this skin
So, old
I'll come, clean
Everyone-everyone knows
It's, me

And if I Recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

Blow by blow
Honest in every way I know
You appear
To face a decision I know you fear

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

And you know you don't need me

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

Recover
  • This slice of Synth-Pop finds Lauren Mayberry trying to figure out a relationship that is hanging in the balance as she desperately urges her companion to love her or leave her. She croons:

    "Carved.
    Earth.
    Cold
    Hiding from you in this skin.
    So.
    Old."

    The song was originally the title track of Chvrches debut EP. It was subsequently released as the second single from the Scottish trio's first studio album The Bones of What You Believe peaking at #91 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • Mayberry told Coup De Main magazine how the Chvrches trio pen their songs. "It's a three-part writing process - everyone's equally involved in all the writing," she explained. "Normally we'll start with a sample or a drumbeat, or a synth sound or something like that, and that will spark the initial idea. And then we'll write an instrumental sketch of a song, and then we put on a nonsense vocal melody, which is always my favourite bit because it obviously sounds amazing. Then the lyrics go on last, at the end."
