about

The debut full-band release from Fin's Contingency Plan is a soulful indie-folk ballad about unattainable love, told through a grisly medical metaphor.

lyrics

I think I’m allergic, there’s something in the air.
I think I’m allergic, there’s something in my hair.
I think I’m allergic, I shiver and I shake.
I think I’m allergic, I cough myself awake.

I think I’m allergic, I’m breaking out in hives.
With no diagnosis, I don’t think I’ll survive.
Like nickel on skin, like latex in a glove,
I think I’m allergic, allergic to your love.

I’ve got a reaction, I’ve got a thing to say.
I’m thinking about it, all night and every day.
It’s rubbing against me, I’m sure that you have seen
me looking around for an antihistamine.

I’ve got a reaction, there’s blisters on my skin.
Some foreign convulsion or seizure from within.
I feed from a drip, my throat is closing up.
I think I’m allergic, allergic to your touch.


You know I am sorry,
I know you try to care.
But I cannot feel it -
It’s pollen in the air.
It’s the puncture from a bee sting,
It’s prions in my food.
You want something different,
And baby, I’m not in the mood.


I think I’m allergic, the explanation stands
Like something that happened when I forgot to wash my hands
My body's reacting, I know it's not my head.
My lips are all dry and my eyes are going red.

And though you are clever and beautiful and kind,
The closer I hold you, the more I lose my mind.
This sharp complication I’m symptomatic of -
I think I’m allergic, allergic to your love.

I think I’m allergic
I think I’m allergic
I think I’m allergic, yeah yeah
It must be something in the air

I’m allergic
I’m allergic
And though it’s you I’m dreaming of,
I am allergic, allergic, allergic to your love.
