Lyrics

I'm sorry, baby
I'm addicted to baths
Hot springs and onsens
Are all that I ask
Bath bombs are nice
But all I really wanna do
Is take a long
Jacuzzi with you

Content

Track seven on Little Hug (April 2021). Luke solo. One confession, no chorus repeat: an apology used as a pickup line. The vice is baths, not drugs or sex, and the escalation runs from hot springs and onsens (the Japan thread that Luke's later KŌAN era would lean into hard) down to the punchline, bath bombs are nice / but all I really wanna do is take a long jacuzzi with you. Consumer wellness undercut by the actual want: hot water, with someone. Whether that's platonic or romantic stays open, but it's the same warmth as the title track's small comfort object.

It inverts Take a Breath's body dread into something safe when shared, and sits right before the EP's absurd peak, Can't Imagine Feeling Better.
