about

"Residue" tells the story of a failing long distance relationship and the uncertainties and frustrations of a fading love. Christina Li and Teddy Sun transformed their heartbreak into "Residue", a bouncy, uplifting and authentic indie-pop jam. The song's catchy chorus and head-bopping groove, paired with introspective lyricism and subtle musical complexity will have you singing and dancing along, while still pondering the depths of your emotions.

lyrics

Oh baby, can I be honest
I can’t do this too much longer
It’s been a year since I saw you
Outside texts, and bytes, and screens

I like you trust me I do
But your kisses, they just don’t come through
It’s hard to feel what we had
When you are halfway across the world

I know our love is running on residue
Who’s gonna be the first one to be cruel?
Our expiration is so long overdue
Who’s gonna be the one who plays a fool?

Is it you?
Or is it me?
So it’s true
We’re overdue

We had our moments
Can’t forget the sweetness in the air
Tasted rain On your lips
Washed away like

Summer gone so soon,
And now I’m left with your
Empty eyes, can’t say I was surprised

So is it up to me
To bite the bullet, or can you help me through this?
Gotta take one for the team
Words in my mouth, can’t get them out
Who knew this would be so hard to say?

I know our love is running on residue
Who’s gonna be the first one to be cruel?
Our expiration is so long overdue
Who’s gonna be the one who plays a fool?

Is it you?
Or is it me?
So it’s true
We’re overdue

Could have been the one for me
But would you say the same?
Fly across the world for you
But what’s the point if you’re not game
So leave it up to me
To piece together shattered memories
Is the grass always greener on the other side?
Don't leave me hanging
Begging please
(I'm begging please)

I know our love is running on residue
Who’s gonna be the first one to be cruel?
Our expiration is so long overdue
Who’s gonna be the one who plays a fool?

Is it you?
Or is it me?
So it’s true
We’re overdue
