Guys help! The chorus of text book sounds melodically so similar to one of her other songs and I cannot for the life of me think of what it is but I almost want to start singing it! Any clues?

I said it back then, don't know if it's the same song but: Get Free :legend:

I guess you could call it text book

I was looking for the father I wanted back

& I thought I found it in Brentwood

It seemed only appropriate you’d easily have my back

 

& Then there the was the issue of hurt

I didn’t even like myself or love the life I had

& There you were with shining stars

Standing blue with open arms

You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had

 

You’ve got a Thunderbird

My daddy had one too

Let’s rewrite history

I’ll do this dance with you

You know I’m not that girl

You know I’ll never be

Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free

 

There we were

Screaming "Black Lives Matter"

In the crowd by the open river

& I saw you saw who I am

God I wish I was with my father

He could see as a long last winter?

All the things I couldn’t want for him

 

I screamed for them

Oh 

I scream for them

Ahh

 

Could we do this dance again?

Do you think if I go blonde we could get our old love back?

I guess this is really the end

I never felt jealous before this year but I’m jealous now

People say we’re too much alike

But maybe finally that’ll make it right in the end

I’ve always seen the signs

Whether men I met felt right

But would smile at you and then stick a knife

In your back, finally I met you so I’m not wondering why

 

You’ve got a Thunderbird

My daddy had one too

Let’s rewrite history

I’ll do this dance with you

You know I’m not that girl

You know I’ll never be

Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free

 

There we were

Screaming "Black Lives Matter"

In the crowd by the open river

& I saw you saw who I am

God I wish I was with my father

He could see as a long last winter?

All the things I couldn’t want for him

 

I screamed for them

Oh

I scream for them

Ahh

 

Old man river keeps rolling

With or without him

Old man river keeps rolling

Without him I’m (?)

Old man river keeps rolling

Ohh

 

 

 

Lyrics in italics or marked with a question mark are ones I could use some input on! x

Fixed what i could!

Dare I say that 'Text Book' is one of the best Lana songs I have heard in years. I'm literally shook from the first listen and it only gets better from there. :brandy:

God I wish I was with my father

He could see us in all our splendour

 

...

Other men I met felt right

But would smile at you and stick a knife

In your back, finally I met you...

The melody reminds me so much of a song "... break your heart... Give my heart a break.." I don't remember the name but the chorus sounds so similar

give your heart a break by demi lovato?

At the end of all these sleepless nights

Other men I met felt right 

But would smile at you 

And stick a knife In your back

Finally I met you so I’m not wondering why

I don’t understand the hate for that BLM line? I thought it was just there to tell us the timeline of these events

 

Performative? Idk it’s not a political song its just mentioned cause of the time frame right?
