New York City's never looked so blue
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
They say that honest love
Is a cage that makes you feel free
And all the girls at this party are so cool
That's never been a thing that I could do
But I can't help but imagine
What you say when you speak with me

You're a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax
And I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

Walking through the park with my head high
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
And if there is a God
He's the bond that's between us two
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
And I'm too shy to say what I see
When I dream of you
When I dream of you

You're a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax
And I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine
I'm yours
With the hand on my heart I swore
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine
I'm yours
With a hand on my heart I swore

I'm going crazy
I'm going mad
I want you baby so bad

You're a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax
And I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

""I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone" "I'm unraveled" OLIVIAAAAAAAAA"

"future self here, this is the album of the year 💖"

"She doesn't make music for trend, she makes music that comes from her feelings and heart, and that's why she's is so successful, absolute cinema 🚬"

"I think the ballerinas represent the butterflies in your stomach when you are falling in love 🥺"

"'i want you more than any stupid song could ever say' probably the realest thing ive ever thought when im in love."

"Even in her more up beat songs, there’s still a hint of sadness in them. I was confused by the album title when it first came out, but Olivia captures it so well. You can be sad and in love. Just beautiful."

"For anyone who's confused: This is a song about how cats transform into ballerinas."

"I literally adopted a cat an hour ago who I named Lacy... and then I get home and OR has dropped a music video with MULTIPLE cats. The universe approves of my name choice lmao"
