Lyrics:
LIZZY
it’s always on the tip on my tongue
i read an article on the internet
told me that that’s how you know
you’re falling in love
don’t really trust what’s on the internet
but maybe just this once
hate to admit but it might be true
hate to admit but i think you knew
hate to be lame but i might love you
it’s always on the tip of my tongue
but i stop myself from saying it
tell myself it’s not the right time
or something dumb
but then you kiss me like you do
and we’re right back where we started from
hate to admit but it might be true
hate to admit but i think you knew
hate to be lame but i might love you
do i love him
do i need him
do i want him
do i care enough to say
that i love him
that i need him
cause i don’t
but i want to feel okay
if i love him
if i need him
maybe that will make him stay
if i lie will i still feel this way?
FINNEAS:
it’s always in the back of my mind
maybe my mistakes are the reason that
i made it back to you in time
if i could rewind
would there be some butterfly effect
what if we never met
what if the stars never aligned
hate to admit but it might be true
hate to admit but i think you knew
hate to be lame but i might love you

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

Crying? really?

[@marcusjones9836]

I know they are both incredible. But the look FINNES gives you is of him appreciating your pure genius.

[@benkle3000]

Actually he’s watching her for cues so he sings his harmonies in time. He looks at her a lot at the end because it slows and there’s a lot of space, so he needs to see when she’s breathing and singing. Source: a musician who sings harmonies with people (Not saying he doesn’t think she’s great, as he probs wouldn’t have collaborated if he didn’t, just trying to clarify what’s happening in the video)

[@chloe-pl2gh]

@@benkle3000 he actually didnt look at her before any of the harmonizes, the looks he gave were random

[@andrewforbes5923]

I know this isn't what most people are paying attention to, but man those Gefell M930 mics sound SO good.

[@danpoolemusic]

Glad I'm not the only one thinking about microphones during a fricken love song hahahahahaha 😂😂 you got me!

[@ryanmillikan9081]

Came to the comments hoping someone knew what they were XD

[@VOByRobbins]

I'm here for the sound quality too! Those are fantastic mics, even a step up from the Neumann TLM-103 mics that Finneas normally uses ! -- warmer

[@yasseford]

It can't be done without their good voices, but it also can't be done without a good condenser mic, good preamps, AutoTune and Ozone.

Great sounding mics!!!

[@vp4744]

Love how Finneas fades in and out in perfect harmony with Lizzy.

[@hannahchristini6155]

FINNEAS and Lizzy have truly outdone themselves with this song. As individual artist, their vocals and pen game are next level but together, it's the peak of beauty in music. it's unique and raw and beautiful.

[@_clovemusic_]

how do their voices sound the exact same live??? like oh my gosh the talent

[@theaimuse]

In an ocean of Hollywood Factory-produced trash music, it is so encouraging to have real artists like Finneas, Billie and Lizzy cutting through the noise and being recognized for creating real music - real art.

[@chrisdick2305]

Here, here! So true.

[@jomiran1000]

As someone expanding into music production, I've developed a massive nerd crush on Finneas. His ear for what a song needs is infuriatingly good.

[@gabyvd]

I'll never forgive them for making this song so short

[@elethumanyela]

i stopped what i was doing (assignment due in a couple hours) to watch this as soon as i saw it 😭 i love this song and these two so much its incomprehensible

[@Chridell_j]

uh... hope youre assignment was done in time

[@felixmargenfeld1880]

I‘d like to take a moment to appreciate how they had the courage to put something out here that doesn‘t sound like it‘s been pitch corrected. Makes it soooo much more real, love it

[@funniestvids2day196]

I don’t hear a single wrong pitch! It’s flawless

It's so weird seeing FINNEAS without an instrument.

sigh… and the right hand is quantized… so freaking talented.

[@neilmarsh7437]

love this comment!

[@zblus]

@@neilmarsh7437 what does it mean, "right hand is quantized"? Edit: oh, plucked vs. strum?

@@zblus he means she is strumming on beat, when you quantize something you make each note hit exactly on beat.

She’s a great singer and her guitar playing is crazy amazing

[@samanthakubala1880]

ok i know finneas is in a very committed relationship and i love claudia so much but if someone told me these were two people in love i would 100% believe them. the emotional delivery is like none other.

[@emilyconen9110]

the way their voices sound together, so so good

[@philipprdawg337]

i usually always search for covers on youtube for things i like. lizzy is one of the few artists where i can not find a rendition that i like better or as much as the original. pure talent

[@avesaryanna2865]

5 seconds flat is my fav album of the year. thankyou for this lizzy and fin 🫶🏼

[@lorelynn2822]

good god. their voices are so perfect together. we have finneas singing lizzy lyrics, now we need lizzy singing finneas lyrics please

Their voices blend so well 🥹

[@charliethesquishywitch340]

the acoustic versions of tthe songs always just blow my mind

[@Litelight]

Lizzy you don’t understand just how amazing the entire album is. I can’t just choose one song so I always have to play the entire thing starting from Doomsday. Anyway this one is definitely in my top 5 from your album (Ceilings has me by the neck) Also as someone from South Africa hearing your pronunciation of internet is so cute that it’s become one of my favorite lines to sing randomly. I can’t help but gush over your work it’s just so darn good!

[@TarebeartheWriter]

I LOVE the way she says Internet in this song

[@Litelight]

@@TarebeartheWriter innernet even the way she delivers the line! You absolutely have to sing it with a shrug

Literally my favorite song on the album simply because of that opening line !!! Def need a whole acoustic album NOW
