Tennis Court (Flume Remix) - Lorde

I'll be your pay pig, bank account Double-glazed in the summer house A wristwatch kickback Luxury furnishing Did we all take it a bit too far? You said you liked me in cricket whites But what would your dad think? Tell me Would you'd find me attractive if I had smaller muscles? It's just a questionnaire I'm not a guesthouse There is trade involved There is trade involved There is trade involved I'm paying you to fuck me I've been playing ball Since the first serve Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis I'm not some piggy bank, you can't just piggyback off me There is trade involved, I was paying you to love me Yeah, I was paying you, and I'm in great shape And the grass is always greener in the country house I've got a celebratory blue wig with stripes down the side You're a night in the Holiday Inn I'm a breakfast bar with an unusual toasting conveyor belt This is not your name You don't own it, and we can't share it anymore I've grown up so much since Tuesday And I can count the hairs on my chest now All the best to the sleigh bell operator But you throw on your own This is a solo project, and the hits will be stronger for it I've been playing ball for over a year Been playing ball for over a year Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis Just playing tennis I'm not some piggy bank, you can't just piggyback off me There is trade involved, I was paying you to love me Yeah, I was paying you, and I'm in great shape And the grass is always greener in the country house I've got a celebratory blue wig with stripes down the side You're a night in the Holiday Inn I'm a breakfast bar with an unusual toasting conveyor belt This is not your name You don't own it, and we can't share it anymore I've grown up so much since Tuesday And I can count the hairs on my chest now All the best to the sleigh bell operator But you throw on your own This is a solo project, and the hits will be stronger for it

Let's board a plane without no destination Take your time, you're gonna need some patience, girl A holiday Leave the city for an open highway Or the planet for a clear blue sky-way, oh A holiday Baby Baby

Break the news, you're walking out To be a good man for someone else Sorry I was never good like you Stood on my chest and kept me down Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd Did my best to exist just for you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe I still feel you, now and then Slow like Pseudoephedrine When you see me, will you say I've changed? I ride the subway, read the signs I let the seasons change my mind I love it here, since I've stopped needing you Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power I'll find a way to be without you, babe

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 punctuation use Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do 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 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 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 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 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

Go back and tell it Please, could you be tender? And I will sit close to you Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through Guess this is the winter Our bodies are young and blue I'm at Jungle City, it's late, and this song is for you 'Cause I remember the rush when forever was us Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost Well, I guess I should go, yeah, I guess I should go Hard feelings These are what they call hard feelings of love When the sweet words and fevers All leave us right here in the cold-old-old Alone with the hard feelings of love God, I wish I believed ya When you told me this was my home-ome-ome I light all the candles Cut flowers for all my rooms I care for myself the way I used to care about you These days we kiss and we keep busy The waves come after midnight I call from underwater Why even try to get right? When you've outgrown a lover (oh) The whole world knows, but you (oh) It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon Hard feelings These are what they call hard feelings of love When the sweet words and fevers All leave us right here in the cold-old-old Alone with the hard feelings of love God, I wish I believed ya When you told me this was my home-ome-ome Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak It was real for me, yup, real for me Now I'll fake it every single day 'Til I don't need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave But I still remember everything How we'd drift buying groceries How you'd dance for me I'll start letting go of little things 'Til I'm so far away from you Far away from you, yeah What is this tape? This is my favorite tape Bet you wanna rip my heart out Bet you wanna skip my calls now Well, guess what? I'd like that 'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out, lovers We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation All fuckin' with our lover's heads, generation Bet you wanna rip my heart out Bet you wanna skip my calls now Well, guess what? I'd like that 'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out, lovers We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S (look out, lovers) generation All fuckin' with our lover's heads generation (look out, lovers) L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation

Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen Just in case I wake up and realise I've chosen wrong I love this life that I have, the vine hanging over the door And the dog who comes when I call But I wonder sometimes what I'm missing But my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now It's time to cool it down Wherever that leads 'Cause all the beautiful girls, they will fade like the roses And all the times they will change, it'll all come around I don't know Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing only my earrings We'd go dancing all over the landmines under our town But the sun has to rise, when it does, we'll divide up the papers Two former hell-raisers I'm still crazy for you, babe Well, my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now It's time to cool it down Wherever that leads 'Cause all the music you loved at 16 you'll grow out of And all the times, they will change, it'll all come around I don't know, maybe I'm just Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again Oh, make it good Oh-oh-oh, make it good I'd ride and I'd ride on the carousel 'round and 'round Forever if I could But it's time to cool it down Whatever that means Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you 'Cause all the times, they will change, it'll all come around I don't know Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again

I do my makeup in somebody else's car We order different drinks at the same bars I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar Well, those great whites, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you're not in love no more Did it frighten you? How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever I go But honey I'll be seein' you down every road I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it 'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom (I wake up in a different bedroom, baby) I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you (The city sings 'em back to you, back to you) All those rumors, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you're not in love no more Did it frighten you? How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever I go But honey I'll be seein' you down every road I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it 'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it Yes, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
