Thelma Plum
Darling St.
[Verse 1: Thelma Plum & Nick Lupi]
And so the day begins
With the thought of how we ended last night
You call my name again
Just to promise it’ll be the last time, don’t hold my hand
'Cause you know I’ll never leave
When you hold me like you do, so you hold me like you do
Can’t no one hold you like I do, It’s easy for them to say
Be that as it may, they don’t know me like you do
We’ve always known it could go this way
Get back from this, told you we can get back from this
You’ve always known how to get your way
Well, if that was it then I wouldn’t be rapping this
And so we go through the motions
One forward goes perfectly with two backwards
If you want me to leave, well, that’s all you gotta say
I’m walking in the rain, out here in Balmain, saying

[Chorus 1: Thelma Plum & Nick Lupi (Jimmy Nice)]
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I’m wandering Darling St on my own
Wondering whether you’re home
So what are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You know you tear me apart when you leave me alone
Won’t let you waste my time
(Usually be in bed by now)
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
I'm out and all out of reasons to sleep this deep so often
I'm drinking, thinking maybe I'd drop in
Some other time, if you not in though, like tomorrow
If nothing's locked in, let's try to untie this knot that we're in
I been a mess since you left me, message you left me was heavy
Fuck talking via text, I'm right at these station steps
Where you met me that night, [?] shaky, you partied with Leki
And we left the city, waves of Bronte washed off your lippy, hey
Still love you today like I loved you that day
Even learned to love the man that stands in my place
Tears on my face, don't lose your brave
I found us a home but built us a cage, yeah
Bury my flaws in my charm and try not to show it
Still you know it, this image of real appeals to my poet
Found out all I cared to recover is you lost in them covers
With my blue singlet on, reciting Jigga songs to each other
Won't ever forget that summer

[Chorus 2: Jimmy Nice (Thelma Plum & Nick Lupi)]
When I told you I wouldn't forget (I won't forget it, no)
When I said that I wouldn't forget (I won't forget it, no)
Couldn't promise to stay together, guess we knew each other better
Than we knew ourselves
When I told you I wouldn't forget (I won't forget it, no)
When I said that I wouldn't forget (I won't forget it, no)
Couldn't promise to stay together, guess we knew each other better
Than we knew ourselves
[Chorus 1 (Extended): Thelma Plum & Nick Lupi]
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I’m wandering Darling St on my own
Wondering whether you’re home
So what are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You know you tear me apart when you leave me alone
Won’t let you waste my time, well if you change your mind
One call and I’ll be at your doorway waiting
Right where you left me, at your doorway waiting
See that’s the problem, I was always waiting
Can’t wait anymore
One call and I’ll be at your doorway waiting
Right where you left me, at your doorway waiting
See that’s the problem, I was always waiting
Can’t wait anymore

[Outro: Thelma Plum & Nick Lupi]
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing? Hey
So what are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing? Hey
So what are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing? Hey
So what are you doing? What are you doing?
What are you doing?
