lyrics

I was caught off-guard in a darkened bar
I tried not to stare at your pretty hair
Whispered sentences that I should have said
In a locked bathroom to a shower head
Too much reticence, I'm intelligent enough to know that it's in my head
This insipid dread
Sort of contact sport
Sort of contraband

It's just too soon
I tell myself each afternoon
I'm not convinced, honest haven't seen him since
But I sit around and invite this shit
Sort of mourning band
Sort of language I don't understand

I make jokes
They're smash and grab, second hand smoke
And I do believe that this will not stop happening to me

Maybe if I keep talking myself through the play
Quit sulking, loose promise to stay
Chin-chucking relatives in other states
I'm nothing without what I need to say

I'm just a body
I'm just a body of water
I'm just a body
I'm just a body of water

about

Half Gringa Chicago, Illinois

Emerging from Chicago’s indie music scene, Half Gringa creates music informed by contemporary indie-rock and Latin American and midwestern folk. The name Half Gringa is both a tribute to and study of her legacy, stemming from a childhood term of endearment as “la Gringa” in her Venezuelan family and her bicultural experience growing up in the United States.
