about

For the 10th Anniversary of this fan-favorite album, Lex revisits the songs in their original form, with their more-nascent arrangements and lyrics.

Lyrically, "Favorite" is a vulnerable account of trying to forge through a breakup with confidence and conviction while still feeling completely devastated. Sonically, it is heavily influenced by one of Lex's primary idols, Jeff Buckley.

lyrics

It's almost as though
the minute I forget your name
you call me on the phone
and I have to stutter through
another pointless conversation with you

and then when it ends, silence ensues, 'cause
neither of us knows
what more to say or do.
will you never be real with me again,
now that we've gotta just go on pretending that we're friends?

you said I was your Favorite
of all your loves
and that ours would surely make it.
you said I was your Favorite
lover
have you gone now and found
another?

Lately I've been trying hard,
to just get by, you know,
doin' what I've gotta do
to get you off my mind.
Don't feel too much anymore,
but isn't that what sex is for?
Lose myself in fighting all
the heartbreak that's in store.
And when the morning comes,
and your arms are empty
and sunlight's crashing on your sheets
are you reminded of me
or do you wake and face the day
without a second glance and where your
loving lady lay?

You said I was your favorite,
of all your loves,
and that ours was gonna be the one that made it,
that I was your favorite
lover,
did you appreciate it?

So I press my ear near to your voice
'cause it's as close as I can get
You ask me if I'm seeing anyone,
I tell you I'm not ready yet

You said I was your favorite,
of all your loves,
and that ours is gonna be the one that makes it,
that I was your favorite
lover,
and that there could never be another
