The Louvre

**The Louvre** is the 4th track on Lorde's sophomore album Melodrama. It was released on June 16th, 2017.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue

Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession

Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor

Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush

Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough

I overthink your p-punctuation use

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do

[Chorus]

A rush at the beginning

I get caught up, just for a minute

But lover, you're the one to blame

All that you're doing

Can you hear the violence?

Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

[Post-Chorus]

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

[Verse 2]

Our thing progresses, I call and you come through

Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you

But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre

Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre

Okay, I know that you are not my type (Still I fall)

I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (But what about love?)

Nothing wrong with it, supernatural

Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting

[Chorus]

A rush at the beginning

I get caught up, just for a minute

But lover, you're the one to blame

All that you're doing

Can you hear the violence?

Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

[Post-Chorus]

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it
Reputation

**reputation** is the sixth studio album from Taylor Swift. It was released on November 10, 2017 following a social media hiatus from Swift, who took care to keep out of the public eye as much as possible after 1989. The dark pop album explores a persona of Swift's, which was deeply in contrast to the sweetness of the following Lover era.

## Commentary

* “I was like, ‘Oh, shit, we can do this too.’ My creative relationship with her feels kind of boundless. I don’t work with, like, a large list of people. So these are pretty special creative relationships. And that’s obviously a big one.” -Jack Antonoff, in an interview with *Rolling Stone*
* [*Entertainment Weekly:* **What were the *reputation* sessions like? When I listen to “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” I imagine you guys having a blast in the studio. But other songs, like “Call It What You Want To,” make me want to see if Taylor needs a hug.**] "It’s an intense album, and that’s what I care about. In the course of a day — in the course of *two minutes* — you can feel like you can conquer the world, or you can feel like the biggest piece of garbage that ever existed. An album or song should feel that way too. It should have the whole gamut of what it actually is like for the artist to be alive at that moment. The sessions were just her and I. She would come over to my apartment, and we would talk and eat and talk more, and the things we talked about turned into songs. She is great at remembering the heart and soul of the process. Some people forget it — sometimes something works and everyone starts to rewire it. But she’s really great at knowing what it’s about: talking about what the hell is going on in your life and somehow finding a way to take that exact emotion and make a song out of it. That was the theme of those sessions: “Let’s just tell this story, whatever that story is, because that’s the whole point.”" -Jack Antonoff in a 2017 interview
* [*Entertainment Weekly:* **[When writing Reputation]** **would you start from scratch or would she show up with ideas and demos?**] *"1989* was different. I would send her tracks, and she would write to that. We did reputation sitting in the room together. There were lyric ideas or things like that [that she would bring], but I would say the majority of it came from scratch. Things would just happen in the room. It was a special time." -Jack Antonoff in a 2017 interview

Walking the Dog

**Walking the Dog** is the 7th track on Aim and Ignite. It was released on August 25, 2009.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Walking alone, cause the night is dead

Crossed my mind when I crossed the bridge

How you lost your mind, and your wrists got bruised

And you wanted better love, well it's sleeping in your bedroom

Hold up, stay on my side, don't go

[Hook]

If you could see me, whoever I am

It's not like a movie, it's not all skin and bones

So come on, love (Come on, come one, come all and go)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

[Verse 2]

Now I'm walking alone, cause the night is dead

My feet don't glide like they did back then

When I'd call you up so we could shoot the moon

These days I'm left to howl in tune

Well hearts do break, and I must admit

I got a better set of chords so I might have been faking it

I think I really only cried just once, so

[Hook]

If you could see me, whoever I am

It's not like a movie, it's not all skin and bones

So come on, love (Come on, come one, come all and go)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

[Bridge]

(After all the shows

After the boys of summer have gone)

Amid all the confusion (These friends I've been losing)

I always thought from the start (I'd be the one moving on)

I guess I'll never know

Where the boys of summer have gone

(But I'll miss what we made) All the days were not wasted

(There are some things I may never know)

How you lost your mind, and your wrists got bruised

And you wanted better love, well it's sleeping in your bedroom

Hold up, stay on my side, don't go

[Hook]

If you could see me, whoever I am

It's not like a movie, it's not all skin and bones

So come on, love (Come on, come one, come all and go)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

If you could see me, whoever I am

It's not like a movie, it's not all skin and bones

So come on, love (Come on, come one, come all and go)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

If you could see me, whoever I am

It's not like a movie, it's not all skin and bones

So come on, love (Come on, come one, come all and go)

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I will not let you go

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na...

White Dress

**White Dress** is the first track on Chemtrails Over the Country Club. It was released on March 19, 2021.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sun stare, don't care with my head in my hands

Thinking of a simpler time

Like Sun Ra, feel small

But I had it under control every time

[Chorus]

When I was a waitress wearing a white dress

Look how I do this, look how I got this

I was a waitress working the night shift

You were my man, felt like I got this

Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen

Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene

And I felt seen

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]

Summer, sizzling

Listening to jazz out on the lawn

Listеning to White Stripes when thеy were white-hot

Listening to rock all day long

[Chorus]

When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress handling the heat

I wasn't famous, just listening to Kings of Leon to the beat

Like look at how I got this, look how I got this

Just singing the street

Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

I felt free 'cause I was only nineteen

Such a scene

[Bridge]

Summer, summer's almost gone

We were talking about life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn

But I would still go back

If I could do it all again, I thought

Because it made me feel, made me feel like a god

'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god

Somehow it made me feel, made me feel like a god

[Chorus]

When I was a waitress wearing a white dress

Look how I do this, look how I got this

When I was a waitress working the night shift

You were my man, felt like I got this

Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen

Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene

And I felt seen

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]

When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress

Like, look how I do it, look how I got this

I was a waitress wearing a tight dress

Like, look how I do this, look how I got this

[Outro]

It made me feel, made me feel like a god

It kinda makes me feel, like maybe I was better off

'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god

It kinda makes me feel, like maybe I was better off
Young Lover

**Young Lover** is the tenth track on St. Vincent's MASSEDUCTION. It was released on October 13, 2017.

This song is about Annie Clark, better known as her stage name St. Vincent, walking into a bathroom to discover someone overdosing in a bathtub. She has never specified if the song is about herself.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How long has this been going on?

I found you in the bathtub with your clothing on

Oh, so what? Your mother did a number

So, I get gloves of rubber to clean up the spill, yeah

[Chorus]

No, I, young lover, I'm begging you please to wake up

Young lover, I wish that I was your drug

No, I, young lover, I miss the taste of your tongue

No, I, young lover, I wish love was enough, enough

[Verse 2]

You say "You got no room to talk, babe"

You're boozin' on a midday and I don't see no cake

Oh, but these pills, I can't even pronounce them

Your thousand watts of light dim then you're gone again, yeah

[Chorus]

No, I, young lover, I'm begging you please to wake up

Young lover, I wish that I was your drug

No, I, young lover, I miss the taste of your tongue

No, I, young lover, I wish love was enough, enough, enough

[Bridge]

We were in Paris, the Eiffel was shining

All that I wanted was lying on tiling

I heard the robins and thought they were sirens

Wake up, young lover, I thought you were dyin'

[Outro]

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

No, I, young lover

Reckless Love

**Reckless Love** is the sixth track on Gone Now. It was released on July 11, 2014.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I could use a bad disguise

To guard me in the darkest nights

I keep finding my way to the harshest words

I've got a strange, strange vision

[Chorus]

Of a reckless love

Standing in a world of my own

They call it reckless love

[Verse 2]

So give me a chance to remember

What I've given up to defend you

I would burn my dreams away

Just to stand in the thankless shadows

[Chorus]

Of your reckless love

Standing in a world of my own

They call it reckless love

[Keyboard Solo]

(Standing on the other side of your reckless love)

[Bridge]

Thinking on the other side of your reckless love

Get out

Stand back

If you don't let go you're gonna break me

And you get out

Stand back

If you don't let go you're gonna break me

And you get out

Stand back

If you don't let go you're gonna break me

And you get out

Stand back

If you don't let go you're gonna break me

[Verse 3]

So give me a chance to remember

What I've given up to defend you

I have burned my dreams away

[Outro]

To stand in the broken shadows

Of your reckless love

Your thankless love

Your restless love

A thankless love

Your reckless love

It's a thankless love

Your reckless love

Your reckless love

## Commentary

* "Most of the songs are about myself, like "Reckless Love" -- that's a song that, for example, that sounds like it's about, like, a terrible relationship but it's about the way I treat myself. So a lot of it's very introspective. I think it's fascinating how horrible we can be to ourselves... The voice in your head, the way we talk to yourself, you probably never talk to another human being that way... But it's amazing that we can't, like, if you're anxious or if you're having panic attacks or if you're going through a hard time, so weird that we can't talk to ourselves the way we can talk to a friend." -Jack Antonoff, in an interview with RadioDBC

Who I Want You to Love

**Who I Want You to Love** is eleventh and final track on Strange Desire. It was released on June 21, 2014.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm tired, of replacing my dreams

Always twisting, always screams

To follow down the strangest roads

In back seats, indoors

[Chorus]

And love what you want me to love

Oh, I will bleed when you want me to bleed

But I don't want to know too much of anything

Because it all hurts me

[Verse 2]

Come on, don't push me down that road

Always twisting, always sold

I will follow, all made up how you'd like

In back seats, indoors

[Chorus]

And love when you want me to love

Oh, I will bleed when you want me to bleed

I don't want to know too much of anything

Because it all hurts me

Oh, it all hurts me

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

(And I really wanna be grateful for the experience that I've had)

(And I really wanna be grateful for the experience that I've had)

(And I really wanna be grateful for the experience that I've had)

(And I really wanna be grateful for the experience that I've had)

(Being trapped in like a total weird bubble world)

(Because there's a giant ocean frozen underneath it's surface)

(And the cracks on it's surface made it clear that there was warm water bubbling up from within)

(And I really wanna be grateful for the experience that I've had)
Take Me Away

**Take Me Away** is the 7th track on Strange Desire. It was released on July 11, 2014.

## Lyrics

[Jack Antonoff]

I'll let you take it, I'll let you take it, I'll let you

I know you're sorry

I'll let you take it, I'll let you take it, I'll let you

I'll let you take it

(Now you're hungry and you want to take me away, take me away)

I know you're, I, I know you're sorry

(You pushed me farther than I've been)

(Falling for me, me)

[Grimes]

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

[Jack Antonoff]

I've broke my silence in an angry yell

(I know you, you)

Someone who'll take you long way home

And now you're hungry and you want to

Take me away, take me away

I know you're sorry

I felt like a fool

I understand that you're

I'll be in the shadows above

That you had ever seen me coming

[Grimes]

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry, I know you're sorry

[Jack Antonoff]

I'll be in the shadows above

(I, I I know you're sorry)

Better off before you, alone

I'm waiting to find out

Love will wake us, love won't break us

Love will take you

And if I can find, find a way out of myself again

## Commentary

> "That one I wrote at my parents' house in New Jersey. That song is a really special one because a lot of times when I write, I’ll make a track and sing whatever melodies pop into my head. With that song, I just took those and started cutting them up and placed them all over the place. It’s the only song on the album that’s really an actual sketch of how I write. I never rewrote the lyrics, I never redid it. That’s actually kind of me free-forming. And even when we play it live I usually just change it and sing whatever comes into my head."

Stop Making This Hurt

**Stop Making This Hurt** is the third single and the sixth track on Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night. It was released on May 18, 2021.

## Lyrics

Yeah!

Daniel puts the kids to bed

They're screaming, "Oh, the gods must be crazy"

Well, Jimmy's on the road tonight

She doesn't recognize her country

My father's in the room next door

Crying with his ma at 65

Well, every time I close my eyes

I just see you written in big lights

You know what it says?

"Stop making this hurt

And say goodbye like you mean it

Stop trying on this hurt

Just say goodbye like you mean it

(Just say goodbye like you mean it)"

My mamma's in the house tonight

Tryna break free of New Jersey

While the kids are on the street

And they're cryin', "Let me live in my country"

But me and Ray

We got a dream and a car

We're like free as the night

So how come every time I take a drive

I just see it written on street signs?

And you know what it says

"Stop making this hurt

And say goodbye like you mean it

Stop trying on this hurt

Just say goodbye like you mean it

(Just say goodbye like you mean it)"

But if we take the sadness out of Saturday night

I wonder what we'll be left with, anything worth the fight?

I wanna run from the darkness, wanna shout at the light

It's coming over me now

Two, three, four, five

Oh God, we barely survived

Stop making this hurt

(Just say goodbye like you mean it)

Say goodbye like you mean it

(Just say goodbye like you mean it)

Stop making this hurt

(Say goodbye like you mean it)

(Just say goodbye like you mean it)

And say goodbye like you mean it

Come on baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Stop making this hurt

## Comments

> This one is a sibling song to “How Dare You Want More.” “Stop Making This Hurt” is just sort of a more petulant, pissed-off version. There’s all this joy and hope about the next phase of your life. But then there’s all this frustration about ‘I can’t get through this doorway. Whatever I’m carrying does not let me through.’ I was able to access this rage by talking about other people: my dad, my friends and their kids, the world, and a whole new generation of people that are inheriting so much crap. But at the end of the day, I’m right in that struggle with all of them. -Jack Antonoff via Apple Music

## Setlist

Steel Train's set was bumped due to the rain.

## Notes

* Jack had some portraits taken by Larry Busacca  in his Tegan and Sara shirt.
* According to an article by Andrew St. Clair for Grateful Web, Steel Train tried to play at the ferry terminal after their set got bumped due to the weather. "
	+ As I mentioned previously, several bands, including Steel Train were bumped due to the rain. So as a joke I say, "Well, you could have played in the ferry terminal." I'm shocked to hear that they actually made an attempt. "We tried to secure a golf cart to fill with our equipment and head out and win some fans." However, this was not to be the case. The organizers kept putting them on hold and ultimately wouldn't let them play out there. The fact that they wanted to perform for the stranded at the terminal earns them major points with me. Justin Huey from the band seems a little bummed when I speak with him. "...it's ironic that the two Jersey bands were bumped." So, Steel Train hang around the media tent, pose for pictures, give couple of interviews and state that they're excited to see Elbow perform."

## Lyrics

[Chorus: Nikki Lane]

Breakin' up slowly is a hard thing to do

I love you only, but it's makin' me blue

So don't send me flowers like you always do

It's hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing

[Verse 1: Nikki Lane]

Are these my good years or do I have none?

Are there really good years for everyone?

I don't wanna live with a life of regret

I don't wanna end up like Tammy Wynette

[Chorus: Lana Del Rey & Nikki Lane]

'Cause breakin' up slowly is a hard thing to do

I love you only, but it's makin' me blue

So don't send me flowers like you always do

It's hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing to do

[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey]

George got arrested out on the lawn

We might be breakin' up after this song

Will he still love me long after I'm gone?

Or did he see it comin' all along?

[Chorus: Lana Del Rey & Nikki Lane]

'Cause breakin' up slowly is a hard thing to do

I love you only, and it's makin' me blue

So don't send me flowers like you always do

It's hard to be lonely (Baby, breakin' up is hard to do)

Breakin' up slowly (Baby, breakin' up is hard to do)

Breakin' up slowly is a hard thing to do

I love you only, and it's makin' me blue

So don't send me flowers like you always do

It's hard to be lonely, but it's the right thing to do

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pickin' up some Lucky Strikes

Leanin' on the wall outside

They don't make 'em like that anymore

Talkin' down at the corner store

They shut their lights and they close their doors

'Cause they don't make 'em like that anymore

But you and I are classic

[Pre-Chorus]

Like a bench in the front seat

Like a big yellow taxi

Like your best friend's mixtape

A big limo and a prom date

Ain't nothin' new I'm waitin' for

'Cause they don't make 'em like this anymore

[Chorus]

I wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

Wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

They don't make 'em like this anymore

[Verse 2]

Fixin' up the '65

Take it to the drive-in tonight

They don't make 'em like that anymore

With the stars on the screen, good Lord

I'm talkin' speaker hangin' off a truck door

They don't make 'em like that anymore

But you and I are classic

[Pre-Chorus]

Like a bench in the front seat

Like a big yellow taxi

Like your best friend's mixtape

A big limo and a prom date

Ain't nothin' new I'm waitin' for

'Cause they don't make 'em like this anymore

[Chorus]

I wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

Wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

They don't make 'em like this anymore

[Bridge]

Johnny and June

Chevy light blue

(They don't make 'em like this anymore)

Bette Davis

Yellow pages

(They don't make 'em like this anymore)

But you and I, we were built to last it

Just a couple of stone cold classics

Just a couple of stone cold classics

Just a couple of stone cold classics

[Chorus]

I wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

Wanna hit rewind, baby

Take our time

They don't make 'em like this anymore

They don't make 'em like this anymore

They don't make 'em like this anymore

## Commentary

* "On the other side of the spectrum, this is one of those songs that just magically fell into place. I went up to New York for a few sessions with Jack Antonoff at Electric Lady Studios, and it was so fun. Creatives tend to beat themselves up a lot, but Jack and I sat there jangling around on this 12-string guitar and writing a song that had this nostalgic Simon & Garfunkel ‘Cecilia’ vibe. It’s about how there are people in your life that outlast everything else—technology, fashion trends, swings in politics, whatever. Nothing’s a constant in life, but a few people are. It was inspired by this moment when my husband and I were in Argentina and he found a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. He doesn’t smoke anymore, but he goes, ‘I’ve got to smoke these because they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.’ And then he looks at me and goes, ‘That’s a country lyric.’" -Cam via Apple Music

Barlights

**Barlights** is the 8th track on Aim and Ignite. It was released on August 25th, 2009.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Never in all my life

Have I seen eyes as empty as

These streets of my city on a Saturday night

But the green of your eyes say go

Leave it all behind

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come

I can feel it on the tip of your tongue

And I feel alive, feel alive

We met up once we settled the sun

Between the heat and the work week

The fear is we could use some sleep

But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds

And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was

I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block

It asked if I had enough, and aloud I'll say "I had too much"

When the truth is, I'm just getting started

[Chorus]

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music it's taunting the pavement

And I feel alive, I feel alive

I feel alive

[Verse 2]

One of us sings and one of us drinks

And one of us does nothing at all

So they call us all sheep

Well I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch

And he swears he's gotta take this call

I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon

We were the get-rich-quick kids, we never got it right

So we settled for the center of town

Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight

Got the blonde one staring me down

And I really wanna take a swing

I can't help but remember James Dean

See we are part of the few who agree

That hey, he lived life fast, but he died

He died, he died

Me, I'm gonna live forever

[Bridge]

(I feel alive)

I think I'm gonna live forever

(I feel alive)

I know I'm gonna live forever

[Outro]

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive

Now all the barlights

To Mexican music

Oh, I feel alive, I feel alive

And for the first time, in a long time

I feel alive, I feel alive
The Gambler

**The Gambler** is the 9th track on Aim and Ignite. It was released on August 25, 2009. It was written about Nate Ruess's parents.

## Lyrics

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy

All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes

We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden

I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die

We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts

It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye

And then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance

I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight

I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose

I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely

For even if the sun stops waking up over the fields

I will not leave, I will not leave 'til it's our time

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side

It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over

So we moved to Arizona to save our only son

And now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother

He believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone

And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter

She has eyes just like her father's, they are blue when skies are gray

And just like him she never stops, never takes the day for granted

Works for everything that's handed to her, never once complains

You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away

Like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago to this day

You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time

But it's not time, you never quit in all your life

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side

You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side

You come home from work, and you kiss me on the eye

You curse the dog, you say that I should never feed them what is ours

So we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown

And the kids are coming home so I'll set the table; you can make the fire

## Lyrics

Fake young when we met

Everything seemed alright

Like children sing on the sidewalk

Cut straight through the moonlight

But how I love those days we didn't get out of bed

Left your taste in my mouth

Your strange voice in my head

Oh, I wanna hear it again

Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh yeah

No not so typical love song

Cause it hurt us again and again

So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah

No not so typical love song

Cause it hurt us again and again

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey

La, la, la, la, la

Ok look out

You'd leave the cities and chase bullet holes

That's actually star light

And in those rare moments you and I were brilliant

We were gonna be alright

But god I loved those days we couldn't get out of bed

Left your taste in my mouth

All your words in my head

And now I wanna hear it again

Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh yeah

No not so typical love song

Cause it hurt us again and again

So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah

No not so typical love song

Cause it hurt us again and again, woo

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, so bad, oh yeah

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

One, two, three, four

I wanna be alright

I wanna be alright

I wanna be alright with my baby tonight

I wanna be alright

I wanna be alright

I wanna be alright with my baby tonight, oh yeah

So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah

No not so typical love song

Cause it hurt us again and again

## Music Video

In the lyric video, Jack Antonoff wore Doc Marten boots, a ripped white tee, and jeans while shooting hoops. He then donned a yellow leather hat and drank coffee on a lawn while swatting mosquitoes. Later in the video he kneels in a studio near a flashing light.

In the official music video, Jack wears a maroon Sardi's hat, a brown jacket over a white shirt, and jeans. He runs down the street past a theater advertising Love, Simon and enters a party where his crush has been waiting for him. Before they can kiss, Jack gets a bloody nose. The scene resets to the beginning of the video and Jack misses a cab before running back to the party. He runs into a waiter and knocks his tray over. Jack continues to have mishaps that prevent him from reaching his crush and demonstrates his frustration with the filming crew. Eventually, he gives up and sits on a bench outside. His crush, tired of waiting for him, decides to run down the street and kisses him.

Like A River Runs

**Like A River Runs** is the eighth track on Strange Desire and its fourth single. An EP of the same name was released as a 7-inch disk. It was released on June 27, 2014.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up thinking you were still here

My hands shaking with regret

I've held this dream for such a long long time

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I wanna get up

To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart

That beats, that beats like a rolling drum

[Verse 2]

I saw you standing on the corner

I saw you standing on your own

And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I wanna get up

To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart

That beats, that beats like a drum

[Chorus 1]

When I fall asleep I can see your face

What I lost in you I will not replace

And I could run away, I could let them down

But I will remember your light

[Verse 3]

Your light it follows me in darkness

I'm trying hard but I can't win

And I've played the victim for a long long time

[Pre-Chorus 3]

And I wanna grow up

From the rhythm of a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart

It leads just like a river runs

[Verse 4]

Tonight I sit over the parkway

The summer's gone and I'm alone

And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close

[Pre-Chorus 4]

And I wanna get up

To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart

It beats, been beating since you've gone

[Chorus 2]

When I fall asleep I can see your face

What I lost in you I will not replace

And I could run away, I could let them down

But I will remember your light

[Chorus 3]

When I fall asleep I can see your face (I don't walk alone)

What I lost in you I will not replace (No, I don't walk alone)

And I could run away, I could let them down

And I know you're gone but still

I will remember your light

[Bridge]

(I will remember)

(I will remember)

(I will remember)

(I will remember)

[Outro]

And if you see me in the darkness

I hope you know I'm not alone

I carry you with every breath I take

And I won't let up, I won't let up, oh

Until the wind is gone
