French Restaurant

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Hit the streets, city beat

I know what you want

Talk to me softly

French Restaurant

Every time I turn around

I look at you like "What now?"

I'm telling you it's all true

 

I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you

I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do

I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about

 

I know they think that I have everything

If I can't have you then they can't have me

(I know it looks like I have everything)

But if I can't have you then they can't have me

(I know they they think that I have everything)

Why am I crying on the balcony?

(I know it looks like I have everything)

If I can't have you then they can't have me

Honestly

 

Super cool, swimming pool

Will you paint me sweet?

Look at you painting cool in the garden

Every time I turn around

I look at you like "What now?"

Can't one single thing be just what it appears to be?

 

I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you

I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do

I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about

 

I know they think that I have everything

If I can't have you then they can't have me

(I know it looks like I have everything)

But if I can't have you then they can't have me

(I know they they think that I have everything)

Why am I crying on the balcony?

(I know it looks like I have everything)

If I can't have you then they can't have me

Honestly

(Yeah)

 

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I know they think I have everything

If I can't have you then they can't have me

I know it looks like I have everything

If I can't have you then they can't have me

[partymonster 4,722]

i really do prefer her old style of writing 

[kitsunegari101 1,463]

sounds to me like she's saying swimming blue instead of swimming pool maybe?? might just be that my ears and brain aren't friends today tho 

[Creyk 11,699]

She needs to go back to this style of songwriting instead of writing about how haters purposefully perceive her as a culture vulture when she is anything but.

[honeybadger 40,620]

i think it's "look at you painting cool in the color blue"

 

not "in the garden"? but that's just what i hear... but i'm like pretty sure...  edit i keep switching in between garden/color blue. let me know what u think

i honestly heard "color wheel" and i'll just pretend it's that, because it sounds cool

[BoardingSchool 2,918]

It does kind of sound like “color wheel”! But it also sounds like she could still be figuring out the lyric and just mumbling a placeholder. I think at one point the background bit switches to “we could have everything”. I’m obsessed with this song now

[Yosemite 23,786]

Obsessed 

[Doin Time 1,454]

One of her best I fear

[Violets in Your Eyes 313]

The lyrics 

[ThirteenthBeach 725]

do we know what year this is from and if it was meant  to  be on an album?

 

i saw something  saying it was supposed to  be on  BTD but it sounds a lot more recent  vocals/ production  wise..

thank you! was it  meant for BTD? 

 

it sounds so  much like White  Dress.. it's so cool to  see  similarities in her music  between then and now

[Ultradealerence 5,312]

petition this song better be in Blue Banisters. and that’s on f*cking periodt 

[Yosemite 23,786]

I just wanna say.... that...

Obsessed

[WildMustang 14,759]

[cocksucker9000 0]

[Sighs of a Torn Soul 11]

by odin, what a heavenly melody!

 

 

I can not stop listening.

 

 

at dawn I cry silently with this song. now i can keep ride in the drawer while i enjoy blue banisters and that angelic cry.

[maysparkle 2,419]

Just now discovering this song and feel it is some of her best work; the melodies and lyrics have so much feeling and vulnerability. This is why I fell in love with her in the first place.
