What Was That

Lorde(로드)

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

 

Oh, I'm missin' you

Yeah, I'm missin' you

And all the things we used to do

 

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

I remember sayin' 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, oh

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?

 

What was that?

Baby, what was that?

 

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 happenin'

You weren't feelin' my heat

When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right

I face reality

 

I tried (I tried) to let (To let)

Whatever has to pass through me

Pass through, but this is stayin' a while, I know

It might not let me go

 

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

I remember sayin' 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, oh

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?

 

What was that?

'Cause I want you just like that (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?
