Lyrics:
ceilings, plaster
can’t you just make it move faster?
lovely to be sitting here with you you’re kinda cute but it’s
raining, harder
my shoes are now full of water
lovely to be rained on with you it’s kinda cute but it’s
so short
then you’re driving me home
and i don’t want to leave but i have to go
you kiss me in your car and it feels like the start of a movie i’ve seen before
before
bed sheets, no clothes
touch me like nobody else does lovely to just lay here with you
you’re kinda cute and I
would say all of this
but i don’t wanna ruin the moment
lovely to sit between comfort and chaos
but it’s over
then you’re driving me home
and it kind of comes out as i get up to go
you kiss me in your car and it feels like the start of a movie i’ve seen before
but it’s not real
and you don’t exist
and i can’t recall the last time i was kissed
it hits me in the car and it feels like the end of a movie i’ve seen before before

[@indiranada3606]

I agree, it's exactly what maladaptive daydreaming feels like. One moment you're so happy and then you snap out and reality just hits you

[@rayyawolff1507]

It also discribes me while im reading the books i love so much Or more specifically any romance or any related thropes readers😭 Love it doh

[@RainyKay]

Just laying here, tired of that yearning, wondering and wishing when it will be my time to have that love. I'm not crying 😭😭😭

[@scalexi]

"But you're not real, and you don't exist, and I can't recall the last time I was kissed" Those lines will hit even harder on Valentine's Day 🥲

[@panka303]

The "but it's not real and you don't exist" part hits me every time. Thanks Lizzy for yet another wonderful song!

[@thepopularsfstore2911]

Totally the line that seriously hits. I spent a massive part of my mid 20s feeling this line due to the relationship I was in was more like an affair. I had no power

[@olanormelli1013]

Right?? Hits you right in the center of it all...

[@braxtonbrandy]

SAME!!!😢

[@loeeer]

Just shocked by the plot twist of this song. It hit me hard. She basically composed the story that every girl, I repeat, every girl creates before going to sleep. And yet I was surprised. It's as if she had put my delusions on video. How crazy.

[@wonderwalledit]

True

[@nuages8915]

Saying every girl is crazy

[@sleeper6548]

Every girl? As a boy, I disagree, even some boys dream stuff like that

[@rockrangel]

To say "that every girl, I repeat, every girl" is a big time assumption that should not make/state as fact.

lol

[@daigle2007]

Yes incredible. That’s my favorite part. The buildup. Fantastic.

[@missmata6631]

how tf you feeling nostalgia from this

[@HannahLeche]

I like to interpret this song as someone imagining all those moments with someone only to realize it won’t ever happen. Maybe because they don’t feel the same, they’re too scared to say something, or maybe that person actually doesn’t exist and is just an imagination of what they want.

[@SamuelBlack84]

Everything I want is also just an illusion

[@alexrseeberger]

that’s exactly how i interpret it as well, having feelings for someone and fantasizing about a future together until you snap back into reality and realize it will never happen.

[@meenakshimuralidharan5078]

So true

[@wonderwalledit]

This song is so relatable sigh😥

[@Goonztz]

Ouch I’m so slow. Why did I think they were bf and gf in real life. That’s why I was confused the comments are were saying they relate. I’ve definitely imagined the small things with my crush, but then I remember I’m gay and most guys are straight 😍

[@EverythingKittens]

i instantly cry and go hug/tell my wife i love her. IDK why this song has such an instant effect on me.

[@ScorpioSpacedOut]

Same here. ❤

[@j4ta680]

It's perfection, that's why. Same here.

[@Ice.muffin]

You absolutely don't belong here. This is not your crowd. Go.

[@n0vellette]

I've never found a song before that encapsulates the feeling of missing someone you've never met. I live alone and have never had a serious friendship, let alone relationship. I daydream all the time about my partner. Sometimes, I comment on social media as if he is a real person, recalling events in our lives that never happened. Listening to this song never fails to make my cry when I realize those lyrics are true... It's not real, he doesn't exist, and probably never will. I still need to work on accepting the fact I'm dying alone, with maybe the exception of my cats. ❤

[@emkas5397]

He definitely exists out there! I use to do the same when I was a teen and never had a long term relationship. I would long for that true love feeling. Then I found my man and I swear he was everything in my dreams and more he’s my best friend!

[@CrazyPanda688]

If you’re a girl and you’ve never had a relationship then you either have a facial deformity or you’re actively wanting to be single No woman in 2023 has issues dating and finding a boyfriend. For men though, it’s a different story

[@keanucool6723]

Don't feel bad. I know loads of people who have gotten married late in life and have even kept their spouses pets. Even if those pets are housefull of cats. The real problem is no one cares about making a real emotional connection anymore. There's nothing wrong with you. You deserve love and a wonderful companion. I hope you find someone deserving of you.

[@jackdizzy123]

There is actually a word for nostalgia of something that never happened: Anemoia

[@TragicTishu]

Damn I want to give you a virtual hug, take it. I love you so much, there is someone who is the same as you! Don’t be sad..❤

[@alliewassogood9382]

As a maladaptive daydreamer this song makes me sob cause I really don’t think any other song has captured the pain I feel when I have to stop and face reality.

[@savioquirino4756]

for me, this song is about idealizing someone that you love, but deep down you know that this person can't give you what you need. is about finally take a deep breath and let the relationship that only exists in your head go. it's painful, but, in the end, is the right thing to do.

[@isabellestudies1946]

I was in love with someone for so so long, I realized after 15 years of loving him that it was just a teenage crush I had when I was 15 and now that I’m 30, I realized that I just idealized him but he was never meant for me and I finally let it go. 💔❤️‍🩹

[@VictorSilvaDev]

Bro, to be honest it's one of the best songs I've ever heard, the melody, everything is perfect, keep going

[@aubryanamarshall7556]

This song also reminds me of what it feels like to be with a person who isn’t good for you, and you keep imagining in your head what you want this person to be like for you, that you hold tightly to every sign that he gives you of being the person you always dreamed of, and you create this idea that he has everything you need, when in truth you would be better off without him. That was me, until I found the person who actually is my best friend, now partner, and it was unmistakeable that I spent too much time with the wrong person.

[@tirkentube]

Weird how to everyone out there, this song means dreaming about a love that doesnt exist. But to me, someone whos been there done that, this song is about a failed relationship. She even says at the end "the ending of a movie ive seen before." How relationships feel so magical in the beginning, and yet, in a few short days, weeks, months or even years, it can all be over, but the memory of that magical feeling never goes away. I still miss the memories of relationships of my younger days. And perhaps i am lucky to have those memories, the laying in bed with no clothes on, knowing both of us are skipping work today, and no cares in the world. The meeting up at a party, not knowing how the night will end, just that we both want to end it together. The going out to the lake on a Tuesday, with cases of beer and a train of friends 6 cars long, with her in my passenger seat, staring at me with the windows down, air through her hair. I've unfortunately never been able to hold onto a relationship, they've all come and gone and I've been single for years now at this point. Dating isn't what it used to be, especially for adults. If you're young, don't hold a feeling in your chest. Make a move. If you've got someone even half good, and they love you, then hold onto them. Try to make it work. I understand the whole "dont settle" thing. But, if you never settle, you're going to end up alone. Nobody is perfect.

[@prettyboylover]

@@braydenk.8348 I personally can see this two ways. My personal favorite is that the song is about heavily daydreaming about a love that's not real. Or this is after a relationship that doesn't work out and imagining them if they stayed together, I hope that makes sense! 😅💙

As a 34 year old married woman who once was the daydreaming girl, hoping and wishing to one day find love, I can say with a full heart to hang in there. Do not settle for less. Save yourself for someone real. And be patient. The one you are meant to love will find you. And then one day you will be older, reminiscing on the single life and the fun of your youth. Enjoy it while it lasts. Then, enjoy your lover, because time is not a friend. So slow down and just be. And love every moment that comes.

Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* 💖 dun took Lizzy McAlpine oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate

[@__jae__]

the part in the song where she sings, “bedsheets, no clothes. touch me like nobody else does.” entirely encompasses the feelings of total intimacy and the harsh instrumentals make me think she’s trying so hard to make these “memories” feel real. like she has to force them into existence and the she realizes that she can’t, that person doesn’t have that relationship with her and she’s accepting that it’s hurting her. her confrontation of her delusion at the end of the song is a gorgeous demonstration of the complex thoughts/headspace people can get into during their “daydreams.” it asks the question of what happens when that goes to far, and i think it shows that beautifully. lizzy is far and away my favorite artist ever and this song is a huge part of why.

[@thewindwaker]

When i was 19 i had a huge crush on my best friend’s friend. One day he added me on facebook and i was so happy i could fly. We chatted for hours that day and i felt like this was the beginning of something beautiful. The next day i didn’t hear from him and found out later that he passed away. Turns out that the day after we talked he went to the sea with his buddies and drowned. It broke my heart and made me depressed for a long time. This song perfectly describes my feeling for that relationship that never happened. Thank you for this. It helps.

This song played as I drove uphill in Seattle with the Olympic mountains in the backdrop of the sunset and my hair blowing in the wind. My eyes watered behind my shades at the relatability of the lyrics. Which is why I’m deeming this as my 2023 song of the year….🌹

[@masuganut2082]

For anyone out there, lonely or hurting. Years ago, before this song came out this was me. I would imagine what it would be like to be loved like this. I remember getting to the point where I would cry every day. Then I found someone. But they were so toxic and I was lonelier than before. Never settle for someone that hurts you just because you don’t want to be alone. Fast forward. I found the love of my life. We are married and have children. He was worth the wait. And is better than I ever could have imagined I would have. Stay strong sweethearts! It’ll happen for you too❤❤❤

[@Pendarr]

Thanks for the kind message and I’m glad you found so much happiness where there was none before. I’m about to turn 36 and have never had more than an online connection. The older I get the more it seems likely I’ll stay alone but stories like yours are the shred of optimism I keep in my pocket.

[@karlysworld4550]

I relate to this I'm soon turning 23 nd same, but I had a crush on this one guy, i felt in love with him and he didn´t knew, we were close friends or that's what i thought but i ended up finding things bout him by other people, and that he wasn´t who he said he was, i decided to ignore it but then one day he deleted all his socials and disappearing without saying goodbye, so idk anything bout him, he was an online friend, but he made me feel special and different at some point.

[@frankkang8994]

At 32, and now married to my soulmate, this song makes me remember exactly how that feels: yearning for someone to love you and make you feel like like you deserve to be loved, and the fear that no one ever will, because you aren’t worth it. Spoiler: it happens. When I stopped looking for the one and focused on loving myself, he stumbled into my life. It hurts, I viscerally remember how painful it feels (thanks to this song) but love happens.

You're not missing much. Once you're past the honeymoon stage, the excitement and romance wears off and you both end up in a state of boredom and you're doing everything you can to bring back those honeymoon feelings but they never come back. Their eyes will wander and so will yours. Don't let music and media fool you into believing in fairytale romance. It's not real and in reality people are generally shit at maintaining relationships.

[@edelweiss2.076]

@@crusty3731 , interesting take. I'm sorry you haven't found a forever love. Imo, it's a question of luck, followed by good judgement. In other words, not everyone is lucky enough to meet a high quality person. And even if you do get lucky, you have to have the good judgement in that moment to recognize, treasure & foster it. I met my guy by chance. I had already stopped hoping in all that soulmate baloney (the truth is, the world is full of people who would be extremely compatible with us). He wasn't anything like what I had imagined for myself, but we've been madly in love & together for 40+ yrs. So while I understand your cynicism, I want you to know that true love does happen & does endure. Best wishes.

As someone who’s never been in a relationship but has watched from the sidelines as everyone gets their happy ever after and has always dreamt of a happily ever after I truly do understand where she’s coming from with these lyrics. These lyrics and this video is a perfect representation of what it feels like to dream about having and wanting some that loves you but coming to the realization that “it’s not real and you don’t exist”. Wow I have never had a song that I have related to so much. A beautiful song.
