27 Lovelorn Lyrics From Pale Waves’ Smitten Album to Use as Instagram Captions
English rock band Pale Waves have just released their stunning fourth album, Smitten, and it's their most personal and evocative release yet.
Consisting of 12 tracks, the album gives us a glimpse into frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie's teenage years and all of the bliss, confusion and pain that came along with them. It's a coming-of-age story taking us through the roller coaster of emotions that accompany young love—particularly in a queer relationship—as well as finding freedom and self-acceptance, and we love the way that narrative shines through in her powerful lyrics. We've collected all of our favorite lines for your use as Instagram captions below.
