Lyrics:
Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find’s
A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Oh this can’t be right..
Cause the sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind
Touched the ocean fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life wont go my way
Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I’ll find someone too
To love, because
The sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind
Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love but me

babe wake up new laufey album about to drop

babe wake up, new 2-5-1's to transcribe

The ultimate simp

[@CCoreOW]

As a 22 year old who's never been in a relationship and had quite a few failed dates, this one hits a little too close to home. It's good to know there are lots of others in the same boat though! Only discovered Laufey a couple of days ago but man, I can't stop listening to her. Her voice is just so soothing.

[@lolzfunnycat17]

same!!!

[@Yuklele]

Same!!! 23. Fallen in love but never reciprocated😢

[@tobitobiokageyama]

same.

[@CCoreOW]

@@Yuklele Oh yeah for sure feel that one. Tbf it's gotten to the point where I can't even tell if my feelings are actually real anymore, cause man, my brain just falls in love with random people on the street now

[@Yuklele]

@@CCoreOW you know I can't tell/ remember what love feels like unless it happens. Until it fades away, I let the waves pass through me and when it's gone, I can't even remember how it felt.

[@steph3819]

the amount of coordination it actually takes to play and sing this song at the same time is insane

[@loganrao353]

and sing at the same time, she is talented as fkkkk

no so true cuz I can play it perfectly and I try add in singing and its impossible lol

Reposted for better quality!! ❤️ hope you like it and thank you all for all the kind comments so far 🫶🏼

[@ralphmarcusdeguzman7655]

Your so cool Laufey thanks for your songs!

[@taplubambhos2869]

I think just keep doing acoustic bossa nova Laufey, its your niche, it's pure bliss and beauty for us and you shine like the midsummer sun in this format

[@ClaireUnderwoodMusic]

Just beautiful... my next song to learn perhaps... I might just end up becoming a Laufey tribute act!! 😂 Your song writing is right up there with the best!

[@cookiedragon8234]

Laufey I adore your music, and this may be my favorite acoustic video you’ve ever done! Your voice fits bossanova so perfectly. This feels like a warm hug

[@leminoade]

lady not a track releases from your repository that does not make me want to fall in love and disappear from the internet to dance around in my kitchen and discover myself. the day you disappear is the day i cover contemporary music in a white sheet, hoping it's you and all your talent and passion underneath. I LOVE YOU LAUFEY NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC XX

[@shawnpang2979]

Laufey's face is just so suited for her voice and that gaze. Oh my love....

[@DJMoy0]

It’s a good day when Laufey drops a track

[@liqstarrx]

first

[@eliya777]

I really hope you publish acoustic version of your albums one day. Your singing voice and playing guitar alone sound simply elegant and perfect.

[@JimmyLundberg]

for real!

[@erick-gd7wo]

I'm dreaming of Chesky Record.... one of the audiophile quality record company

[@JasmineN.]

100% agreed :)

[@arnlmndza]

on point!

[@marvinchang7077]

Great song writing and singing!

[@HeliNoir]

Love the Bossa Nova notes! There’s no problem with Falling Behind in love, it’s like fine wine. The longer it takes to have that someone, the higher your standard gets and the quality rises too… then you end up cherishing yourself more and actually be okay with Falling Behind Hoping this makes sense and someone can relate

[@handlemonium]

Yah

[@BreakCards]

I hope you are right! I’m 31 yo I’m tired of waiting. But I feel my standards are high but are mine

[@freakpetux4452]

this is beautiful

[@Squabbles64]

I love that even as she grows she still uploads these acoustic versions and gives us a little background on the songs. It makes it still feel like when she only had a couple thousand subscribers and such. So personal and delightful :)

[@handlemonium]

Yeah this is exactly how Olivia Rodrigo started out before she accepted her contact in Disney's High School Musical series. Hope she retraces her roots later in life.....maybe with a little nudge from Laufey 😊

[@Narine-Marvel_lover]

This is why she is my favorite singer❤

[@Tiamaria2002]

UGH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH GIVES ME TINGLES

[@markhonman4903]

"poking fun at yourself" - exactly what is needed in Bossa Nova lyrics... you manage to capture that wistful, self-deprecating, but also not-taking-myself-too-seriously feel that's so typical of the Portuguese lyrics by Jobim, Vinicius, etc.

[@sujeetkhadka5945]

How could she sound so bold ? And be beautiful at the same time? ❤️😭 🤯

[@jin_unrested]

We all love her, admit it.

[@aishiteruseyo]

This is trippy cuz it sounds exactly as the non-acoustic version. Talent fr fr

[@penguinjennifer]

can we appreciate how talented she is!! she writes her own songs, plays them, and sings them. i love her!!!!

[@krunopii]

I love how she plays the guitar like it's a lyre and it's stunning to have that all on beat while singing.

[@alexcherkas9737]

i love how the most replayed part of the whole song is the beginning, so nice

[@stevegarcia5004]

Sounds great. Love the Bossa groove.

[@aggressivepotato9346]

Laufey is literally my comfort space, her music is so relaxing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@tomhazelton3070]

I just played this song with my 15-year-old guitar/music student at an open mic night tonight. I played guitar. She sang this and killed! She's the one who turned me on to your music, which I absolutely love! Keep up the great work. This was exquisite.

[@patricegalligani631]

Merci pour ce moment jazzy, chaque fois que je t'écoutes, il y a comme un cocon de bonnes vibrations autour de moi.

[@kurtevensson1452]

This is pure magic. Not often you see a talent like this

[@RobPizzaSauce]

My niece introduced me to this song and to you in general and this song literally made me cry as I heard it for the first time, and basically every time since this. It speaks so much to the way my lack of a love life has gone so far and many of the feelings I’ve had. Thanks for this amazing song!

[@bluepineapple1122]

letsssssss goooooooooo

[@talkandmockinggoblin960]

The “someone to call mine” part is such an interesting listen, great stuff as usual

[@michaelterrell5061]

I already know this is going to be wonderful. It is.

[@Jayspy26]

my day was already good but a new laufey acoustic cover made it even better

[@CharlieRiceMusic]

I love the Bossa nova feel. Another great track. Looking forward to the CD.

[@yunjinsgf..]

Her skills with the guitar and her voice are so cool!! The way she sings it's calm and soft that makes me feel in peace.💗

[@BeachJazzMusic]

I think I love when you do this the most. There's something so raw and innocent about it. Anyone can sound great in the studio but to sound the way you do live in your bedroom is quite a different story.♥♥♥

[@shxjmm2759]

she's so pretty

[@DARdesigner]

Your face while you're singing is beautiful.

I really love every laufey song, like the melody, the chords, everything is just chef's kiss and really lovely.

The chromatic movement in the chorus... wooh, that just hits right!!! Another great song, can't wait for the album

[@capability-snob]

That extended enclosure at the end is the cherry on top!

[@georgiacrossley2274]

One of my all-time Laufey favourites

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

Please release these acoustic versions too. They are a treat. I feel like I'm just sitting in a room and you are playing it for me and I'm convinced that everyone feels that way while listening to these. They are somewhat raw and unfiltered but that makes them authentic. For me they definitely fall into the cool and unpretentious sprezzatura. It feels like you are showcasing your genius specifically for whoever is listening and without any effort, but you are a bit shy to do it. They feel intimate, cosy and personal, please don't let them stay only on you tube.

[@couchu]

laufey’s music makes me daydream of what could’ve been, how addictive

She is a goddess, I'm crying.

Just dozed off and awakened to this awesome Bossa Nova groove! I must now go and investigate further.

What a beautiful voice and song, I'm so excited for the album!!! Imagining the day she sings with Michael Bublé-two modern day jazz singers colliding!

[@jasonmccormack8993]

First the beautiful guitar playing, then the beautiful singing + beautiful guitar playing, finally end of with the backstory of the song with the beautiful speaking voice. Just beautiful. Thank you, Laufey. It's cheesy and cliche, but you are beautiful. You were one of my main motivation and driving forces during isolation for 7 days when I tested C+ in June 2022. Thank you. #justbeautiful

I don’t know if you will read this laufey ….. but I want to say that you are an amazing singer ( like I mean it from my heart ) I do listen to music of all genres and of all other famous artists, but you hold a very special place in my heart ( the kind that has soft cushions , basically comforting)…Your voice and your songs feels like a warm hug ❤ . Very grateful that I know you

[@tenorcarloscol]

I had a tough day. One thing after the other. Now getting ready to try to sleep... listening to this beast of an artist is the best part of the day. She made a shitty day better. Laufey, from to singer to singer, you have a once in a generation gift.
