Lorde – What Was That
verse
A place in the city, a chair and a bed
I cover up all the mirrors, I can′t see myself yet
I wear smoke like a wedding veil
Make a meal I won’t eat
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
It comes over me
pre-chorus
Oh, I′m missing you
Yeah, I’m missing you
And all the things we used to do
chorus
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?
I remember saying then, «This is the best cigarette of my life»
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we’re in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
I didn′t know then that you′d never be enough for
Since l was 17, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream
Well, baby, what was that?
hook
What was that?
Baby, what was that?
verse
Do you know you’re still with me when I′m out with my friends?
I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs
You had to know this was happening
You weren’t feeling my heat
When I′m in the blue light, down at Baby’s All Right
I face reality
pre-chorus
I tried (I tried) to let (to let)
Whatever has to pass through me, pass through
But this is staying a while, I know
It might not let me go
chorus
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?
I remember saying then, «This is the best cigarette of my life»
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we′re in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
I didn’t know then, but you’d never be enough for
Since l was 17, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream
Well, baby, what was that?
hook
What was that?
′Cause I want you just like that
outro
(When I′m in the blue light, I can make it alright)
What was that?
(When I’m in the blue light, I can make it alright)
Baby, what was that?
