about

Navigating matters of the heart with impressive and cathartic songwriting, MATT TAYLOR's new single April 13th is a stunning insight into his world. Born from a conflicting time, April 13th is an emotive dose of weightless alt-pop.

lyrics

Who the hell are you to say that it was nothing?
You can stop trying hard to justify the time that we’d spent
It’s a quarter to midnight and we’re still walking through London
But you said it’s only cos you got nothing better going on with your friends

Well I heard they’re at a party getting lucky with the rest
So why the fuck are you still here if you’d much rather be with them
Yeah you could’ve taken the fucking train back
About 2 hours ago when you were done
But you said you just wanted to stay around for a little bit longer
Cos you were really just up here for the fun
So we took the long way back through the gardens
Like it was nothing

You said you’re good
In the clear
Never wanted something real
Far too young at twenty years
No driver at the wheel
Now you’ve moved on
Good to hear
Like a bullet in the dark

I swear to God I hope you meant it
When you said that it meant nothing to you
And I know all this may come across a touch melodramatic
Or that I got a little bit over-invested in a short space of time
You know I wish that I could say that it’s just not the tone that I’d intended
But I can’t lie to you
You cut me like a knife

You said you’re good
In the clear
Never wanted something real
Far too young at twenty years
No driver at the wheel
Now you’ve moved on
Good to hear
Like a bullet in the dark
I swear to God I hope you meant it
When you said that it meant nothing to you

Well I heard they’re at a party getting lucky with rest
So why the fuck are you still here if you’d much rather be with them yeah
Well I heard they’re at a party getting lucky with rest
Why the fuck are you still here
Why the fuck are you still here

Yeah so we took the long way back through the gardens
But it was nothing
Said you’re good
In the clear
Never wanted something real
Far too young at twenty years
No driver at the wheel
Now you’ve moved on
Good to hear
Like a bullet in the dark
I swear to God I hope you meant it
When you said that it meant nothing to you
