"Clairo’s music is lackadaisical and charming, full of candid observations that feel plucked from a friend’s iPhone notes. (...)

“Bags,” Clairo’s strongest song to date, ups the ante significantly. She delivers oblique, stream-of-consciousness lyricism about a deteriorating relationship, singing in a characteristic deadpan that seems to contradict the emotional weight of lines like, “Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself,” and, “Can you see me using everything to hold back?” But the instrumentals tell a different story; unlike the gauzy, synth-heavy wash that usually cocoons her vocals, “Bags” is sonic splatter paint. (...)

With the dewy turbulence of a monsoon rain, “Bags” marks a new kind of Clairo energy." -- Pitchfork, Vrinda Jagota, May 24 2019

Edit: there's a little mistake in the lyrics at 1:17, it's "walking out the door with your bags" instead of "every second counts", sorry for that!

The lyrics are official.

♪ lyrics ♪

Every second counts,
I don’t want to talk to you anymore
All these little games
you can call me by the name I gave you yesterday

Every minute counts,
I don’t want to watch TV anymore
Can you figure me out?
Just doin this to waste more time on the couch

Can you see me I’m waiting for the right time
I can’t read you but if you want, the pleasure’s all mine
Can you see me using everything to hold back
I guess this could be worse
Walking out the door with your bags
x4

[Instrumental]

Pour your glass of wine
Mitchell told me I should be just fine
Cases under the bed
Spill it open let it rush to my head

I don’t want to be forward
I don’t want to cut corners
savor this with everything I have inside me
I’m not the type to run
I know that we’re having fun
But what’s the rush? Kissing and my cheeks are so flushed

Tell you how i felt
Sugar coated melting in your mouth
Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself
Know you’d make fun of me
x4
