about

pastels is a musician and producer based in Melbourne, Australia. Through laid-back, mood-based instrumentation and frequent collaborations with friends, she strives to transport the listener to somewhere far away.

pastels' past collaborative single "Could've Been U" with Jessica Domingo was a hit, a standout track from her full-length album Love Garden. About the track, pastels said, "This song is about reminiscing on a past relationship and ultimately moving on." Here, Jessica and pastels reunited in Los Angeles last summer and recorded a stripped down acoustic version. Filmed by Jeff Bernat and engineered by Mr. Hong, the live one-take was too good to keep off DSPs.

lyrics

It’s just too late
For you to come around
All your mistakes
I wish you would’ve learned by now
That I was the one and you knew it too
But I found someone
Who could’ve been you

Every time I was around (you)
I was there to hold you down (you)
If only you had made a move
This could’ve been all for you

I’ve been missing you lately calling me baby
Even when we weren’t a thing
Then why am I reminiscing
All of our past
When we didn’t last
We were almost there
Why don’t you understand
Cause I still think that it (could have been you)

Every time I was around (you)
I was there to hold you down (you)
If only you had made a move
This could’ve been all for you

Still the best you’ve never had and it’s such a shame
That you keep on coming back
To let this go to waste
Once you said that you weren’t ready
I left you on read
You apologize but now you’re laying in regret


I guess you’ll never know how to love me
I guess you’ll never learn how to trust
I guess you’ll never learn how to see me

Cause she won’t love you
The way I used to
But one day you’ll realize
It’s too late to take me back
