The whole album is lyrical masterpiece.
All too well is clearly the supreme.
I also love the simple vile of I almost do, Begin again.
Even 22, Stay stay stay, WANEGT has cool and fun lyric.
This thread made me so excited for LP5, the wait is killing me.
Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest.
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well.
This
And:
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
Reading this thread makes it really clear how much her writing has improved.
But here are some of my faves:
"I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away. I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay"
I love how she plays around with the tense to better convey the emotions inspiring the song - knowing someone is dangerous but being a slave to your emotions and pursuing them.
"We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts"
This one is simple but I really like the metaphor.
"In dreams I meet you in warm conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities"
Just a really beautiful way to explain that she still longs for him, but must face the reality that things are over between them.
oh god thats so hard but some of my favorite lyrics
"And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did
I've been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again"
"'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home"
"maybe we got lost in translation, maybe i asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece till' you tore it all up" i swear to god if there is not an all too well 2.0 on this new album, HEAD WILL ROLL!
And maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much but maybe this thing was a masterpiece
´til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
Hey you called me up again just to break me like a promise so casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumbled up piece of paper lying here cause I remember it all all all too well
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it I´d like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find i
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress, we had this big wide city to all ourselves.
we blocked the noise with the sound of i need you and for the first i had something to lose
And i guess we fall apart in the usual way and the story's got dust on every page.. But sometimes i wonder how you think about it now and i see your face in every crowd
Words, how little they mean when you are little too late
Good girls hopeful they'll be and lon they'll wait
And time is taking its sweet time erasing you
and you've got your demons and darling they all look like me
Literally, she's the best songwriter now. HANDS DOWN
i swear to god if there is not an all too well 2.0 on this new album, HEAD WILL ROLL!
