Lyrics from 'Lover' That Reminded Me Of First Prince
@truefangirlheart so you remember our exchange a few days ago? Well, I did a thing.
I Forgot You Existed
“And I couldn’t get away from ya/In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah/Your name on my lips, tongue-tied/Free rent, living in my mind”
“Something happened one magical night”
Cruel Summer
“Fever dream high in the quiet of the night/You know that I caught it/Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price/You know that I brought it”
“I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below”
“What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more”
“And it's new, the shape of your body/It's blue, the feeling I've got/And it's ooh, whoa oh/It's a cruel summer/It's cool, that's what I tell 'em/No rules in breakable heaven/But ooh, whoa oh/It's a cruel summer/With you”
“We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times/We're not trying”
“Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true/I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you/And I snuck in through the garden gate/Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)/And I scream, "For whatever it's worth/I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"/He looks up, grinning like a devil”
Lover
“This is our place, we make the rules/And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear/Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?”
“Can I go where you go?/Can we always be this close forever and ever?/And ah, take me out, and take me home/You're my, my, my, my lover”
“And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you/I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all”
“I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover/My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue/All's well that ends well to end up with you/Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover”
The Archer
"I say I don't want that, but what if I do?"
"I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you"
"Who could ever leave me, darling/But who could stay?"
"Dark side, I search for your dark side/But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?"
" 'Cause they see right through me/They see right through me/They see right through/Can you see right through me?/They see right through/They see right through me/I see right through me/I see right through me"
I Think He Knows
“His footprints on the sidewalk/Lead to where I can't stop”
“His hands around a cold glass/Make me wanna know that/Body like it's mine”
“He got my heartbeat/Skipping down 16th Avenue/I got that, ah, I mean/Wanna see what's under that attitude like/I want you, bless my soul/And I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows/I think he knows”
“He's so obsessed with me and, boy, I understand/Boy, I understand”
“I want you, bless my/I want you, bless my soul”
“I whisper in the dark/"Where we gonna go?"/I think he knows”
Miss Americana And the Heart Break Prince
“You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you”
“No cameras catch my pageant smile/I counted days, I counted miles/To see you there, to see you there/It's been a long time coming”
“It's you and me, that's my whole world”
“It's you and me, there's nothing like this/Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)/We're so sad, we paint the town blue/Voted most likely to run away with you”
“Darling, I'm scared (Ah)”
“I counted days, I counted miles/To see you there, to see you there/And now the storm is coming”
“And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight)/'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), just thought you should know/And I'll never let you (Go) 'cause I know this is a (Fight)/That someday we're gonna (Win)”
Paper Rings
“Cat and mouse for a month or two or three/Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe”
“Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night (Oh)/Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright (Uh)/Three times 'cause I waited my whole life (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)”
“I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings/Uh huh, that's right/Darling, you're the one I want, and/I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this/Uh huh, that's right/Darling, you're the one I want/In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams/Oh, you're the one I want”
“I'm with you even if it makes me blue”
“Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws/We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so”
“I want to drive away with you/I want your complications too/I want your dreary Mondays/Wrap your arms around me, baby boy”
Cornelia Street
“We were a fresh page on the desk/Filling in the blanks as we go”
“And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends”
“And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away”
“I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street/Before you even knew I was gone”
“But then you called, showed your hand/I turned around before I hit the tunnel/Sat on the roof, you and I”
Death By A Thousand Cuts
“My heart, my hips, my body, my love/Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch”
London Boy
“But something happened, I heard him laughing/I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent/They say home is where the heart is/But that's not where mine lives”
“You know I love a London boy/I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon/He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet/Darling, I fancy you/Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates/So I guess all the rumors are true/You know I love a London boy/Boy, I fancy you (Ooh)”
“They say home is where the heart is/But God, I love the English”
“Just wanna be with you/Wanna be with you”
False God
“We were crazy to think/Crazy to think that this could work”
“They all warned us about times like this/They say the road gets hard and you get lost/When you're led by blind faith, blind faith”
“But we might just get away with it/Religion's in your lips/Even if it's a false god/We'd still worship/We might just get away with it/The altar is my hips/Even if it's a false god/We'd still worship this love”
“I know heaven's a thing/I go there when you touch me, honey/Hell is when I fight with you/But we can patch it up good/Make confessions and we’re begging for forgiveness”
You Need To Calm Down
“You are somebody that I don't know/But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón”
“Sunshine on the street at the parade/But you would rather be in the dark ages”
“‘Cause shade never made anybody less gay”
Afterglow
“Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves/Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there’s no us/Why'd I have to break what I love so much?/It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say”
“Sorry that I hurt you/I don't wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)/I don’t wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)”
“It's so excruciating to see you low/Just wanna lift you up and not let you go/This ultraviolet morning light below/Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh”
“Meet me in the afterglow”
ME!
“I promise that you’ll never find another like me”
“You’re the kind of guy the ladies want”
“I never leave well enough alone/And trouble's gonna follow where I go”
“Like a rainbow with all of the colors/Baby doll, when it comes to a lover/I promise that you'll never find another”
It’s Nice To Have A Friend
“It’s nice to have a friend”
“20 questions, we tell the truth/You've been stressed out lately, yeah, me too/Something gave you the nerve/To touch my hand"
“Call my bluff, call you "Babe"/Have my back, yeah, every day/Feels like home, stay in bed/The whole weekend”
Daylight
“I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye”
“I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you/I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you/I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night/And now I see daylight, I only see daylight”
“(Things will never be the same)”
“And I can still see it all (In my mind)/All of you, all of me (Intertwined)/I once believed love would be (Black and white)/But it's golden (Golden)/And I can still see it all (In my head)/Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)/I once believed love would be (Burning red)/But it's golden/Like daylight, like daylight”
“I wanna be defined by the things that I love/Not the things I hate/Not the things I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of/Or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night/I, I just think that/You are what you love”
Apologies for the long post, but 'Lover' is just, like, such a FirstPrince mood, and there's a lot in there.
