lyrics

Technically, this is Babytooth’s official debut on Group Picture, but Portland, OR singer / songwriter Isabel Zacharias had a song on the comp last year that blew me away. It was her vocals and lyrics that hooked me then, and are still yanking me now. Now backed by a full band that gives dynamic range to her songs, it was still that first line “now you know you want a girl without a phone” that had me nodding “yup i love this”. Fingers crossed for Babytooth to become a GP staple.


well now you know
you want a girl without a phone

you wanna a girl who says she already knows
wanna girl who doesn't have to sing
want a girl who's down with things

hides her little animals & gets out of the way
cleans her big refrigerator every single day
why don't you just tell me what you want me to say
and I will

should've said
you want a girl who fucks the rules
you wanna girl who jumps right into the pool
want a girl who could show up on time
who will start the car and drive

the beautiful day is stuck outside
I've never waited this long at this light
I don't always know the deal, alright
but at least you could ask the question

people who I used to be make sure that I'm okay
I know if I blame them then it's still just me to blame
don't you think I'm getting better every day
just like you

don't you believe that I do
don't you ever believe that you're no one
without my help

on the phone, my mother says that when she's dead
she wants to go where all her lost things went
priceless like state quarters and barrettes
just to feel their weight again
