about

This song is about the worst year of a close friend's life. She spent it in nightclubs, seeking connections from people who couldn't. Finally, she called it a night.

lyrics

Shattered glass, champagne pours
Sticky sweet across the floor
Spilled your drink, what’s the rush?
Someone else can clean it up

Everything is glamorous and easy
Everyone has compliments to pay
Saying such a beauty queen, the finest on the scene
You're dancing on the tables where cool kids go to die
Celebrities on one another's eyes

You had skin in their game
But they were never on your side
Alexandra, call it a night

Girls in hoops spin and twist
Above your head, he grabs your wrist
Fills your cup, and blacks your eye
Makes a show of when you cry

Everything is dangerous and dizzy
Everyone has buzzsaws in their smiles
Saying such a pretty face, couldn't hack it in this place
You're swinging from the rafters and splitting at the seams
Alone inside a neon fever dream

You had skin in their game
But they were never on your side
Alexandra, call it a night

The streets are still, your body's spent
The end of days came and went
As the sun fills the sky
Alexandra, close your eyes
