about

We can’t help what we want. Show us again and again that a connection doesn’t serve us, and still our desires can push us back toward it again and again. Maybe we’ve tricked ourselves into believing that one little change will salvage it, maybe we just need to try a little harder, maybe we can’t explain it at all. We can be drugs to one another, providing that sweet hit of bliss before reality comes crashing down. In the wake of it all, we recognize the pattern, but can’t stop ourselves just this one last time.

Indie pop singer-songwriter Jacob Jeffries is no stranger to the pull of such a relapse. His latest single “Let You Down” pits this nostalgic yearning against bright, dance-worthy pop. Like looking through an old photo album, it highlights everything fun and exciting about falling in love while hiding the pitfalls with Valencia filters. The longer we stare, the more future possibilities pass us by while we refuse to move.

lyrics

LET YOU DOWN

I can't feel my hands at all it's freezing but I'm heating up inside
4 more blocks and I forget what I'm doing, but somehow it feels right

She said, "if you're coming over to my place darling you can let yourself in but I'm only gonna let you down
I can say everything you always wanted to hear but I know,
I'm only gonna let you down"

You're the one I wanna call when I'm anxious and I can't sleep at night
Throw my clothes on in the dark without a plan to understand, I just get in the car and drive

She said, "if you're coming over to my place darling you can let yourself in but I'm only gonna let you down
I can say everything you always wanted to hear but I know,
I'm only gonna let you down"

I guess you finally found a way to be ok alone
Here I come an avalanche of memories you buried.

I've come to terms with the end of us before but it feels so good to be the one standing at your door...

She said, "if you're coming over to my place darling you can let yourself in but I'm only gonna let you down
I can say everything you always wanted to hear but I know,
I'm only gonna let you down"
