Lyrics
I’m sick to death of eating breakfast on my own,
starting out my daily blues.
I’m sick to death of spilling coffee on my phone,
scrolling through pictures of you.
I’d like to say that maybe we could work it out,
but I know that it’s no use,
If I ever find anyone
half as good as you,
I think maybe that would do.
I kissed a stranger in the hallway late last night,
he was wearing purple shoes
I asked him when he kissed me
could he close his eyes,
and he just looked at me confused.
And people say my expectations are too high.
But I’m not asking for the moon,
If I ever find anyone,
half as good as you,
I think maybe that would do.
If I ever find anyone
half as good as you,
Alice: I think maybe that would do.
Oh I’m so sick of laying here
I’m so sick of counting tears
Comparing everyone to you
Oh I’m so sick of waiting here
It’s so frustrating
My suspicions are you’re laying there
And think it of me too
I learnt the lyrics yesterday to all your songs,
there was one I couldn’t do.
I think the lyric went
You’ll miss me when I’m gone.
But the chords I was confused
I’d ask you round and you could tell me where I’m wrong
but then I know you’d just refuse.
If I ever find anyone
Half as good as you
I think maybe that would do
If I ever find anyone
Half as good as you
I think maybe that would do

[@mohitbangale9242]

Why is tom so underrated ? Why is he not super famous ? I love him so much !!!

[@davidbutryk]

I think because he did not stick to the style, which became popular. Personally, I loved him for the songs from the album "long way down"

[@mohitbangale9242]

yes! but that's what makes him different too! Right ? And my personal fav song is somehow its so beautiful!

[@davidbutryk]

@@mohitbangale9242 How long have you known Odell?

[@mohitbangale9242]

David Butryk more than 4 yrs i guess

[@lucinapshegubj917]

I don't think he wants to be super famous and mainstream, he's all about the simplicity, and not about the fancy and money. He's really genuine, and I don't see him go with the stream

[@sophieodell4911]

I cried the first time I heard this song. The wrong people are getting hurt.

[@ninakupuniya6857]

Sophie Odell true

[@LinkJava]

me too!!

[@slowpokeyface]

So true.

[@korbandallas8931]

I agree

[@farwado5446]

Ahhh true

[@13Luk6iul]

If I ever find another song, half as good as this...

[@ok-dv9dg]

Gotta give Alice Merton some respect as well! She has a beautiful voice

[@Ranu-ho4oj]

Beautiful voice & Beautiful face.

[@albertml3693]

Absolutely, both voices blended perfectly

[@Maqiawelli]

Beautiful eyes and lips, too

[@jojo_daisy9538]

Alice is perfect❤🙃

[@thetimeisnow613]

Alice is ace, no roots is a tune!

[@baradasjubert]

when alice merton sang ,"you'll miss me when i'm gone," i really felt that.

[@TheProsaicCult]

I'm 61 years on planet earth guy, and your song gave me goosebumps. How does someone get to be Tom Odell? Whatever, this kind of talent comes few and far between for this world. I happen to be a composer of classical music, so I've heard some amazing music in my life, and Tom Odell has given a great gift to anyone who cares to listen, these truly heartfelt songs. Thanks so much for that.

[@Brooke52528]

I'm 46 and totally agree with you! Are you a London based composer? I was brought up amongst a sea of classical music!

[@davidc2936]

Yes I'm an older generation in my mid sixties and remember the 60s and 70s when greaf tunes were around and you could hear the vocals clearly. I think Tom is musical renaissance

[@Vengerthefellhound]

Goosebumps every single time with this song probably 5 or 6 times throughout it

[@saraha5012]

No artist is half as good as you :D

[@lilianesusewind7792]

True... But maybe my expectations are too high. ;)

[@MassApeeal]

Listen to Matt Maeson

[@jacksononthetrack8301]

Tom Odell is incapable of writing bad songs.. Wow what a man

[@LinkJava]

Personally, I love this part: ...And people say my expectations are too high But I'm not asking for the moon... It's right and sarcastic

[@forestchild487]

Thats my fav part too! and Alice sang it amazingly 😍

[@RaphaelMaitam]

Sure, the best💜

[@powo9989]

Sm😍😍

[@tovaristoo9159]

Me too.

[@remycolijn2268]

Yes, also my favorite part. I also like when the drum kicks in

[@Carlos77589]

Who hurt you Tom... Who.. Hurt.. You..

[@veronikaledvinova3914]

Maybe Sydney?

[@Unknownuser___p]

Veronika Ledvinová yeah 😣

[@veronikaledvinova3914]

He will find someone who will be twice as good as her!

[@Unknownuser___p]

Veronika Ledvinová i hope so ❤️

[@KrystalKalleen]

Sydney silly 😂 they broke up awhile ago 😔...

[@lauramendoza151]

What a sad masterpiece, in love with it. Sadness is your blessing Tom. You deserve all the succes of the world.

[@gonzalez5837]

Laura Mendoza frrd

[@paolacampillo8296]

I couldn't agree more

[@dear.mibebe]

i literally need him in my life.

[@CrazyMaryJo]

Even this young, a truth teller, a universal storyteller.

[@farah8271]

‘People say my expectations are too high, But I’m not asking for the moon’ 💗💗

[@LeVampir]

Another masterpiece 😍❤️❤️

[@karimrifaat8604]

Oui

[@DaycareJoy]

Hi I make soul folk music maybe you like my work

[@ilovekotki4848]

Nice nick, I love vampires :)

[@ihatejesus1980]

reminds me a bit of john lennon

[@bogeunkim]

Wonderful ....

[@J0ELLEx]

This girl’s voice though... wow

[@carliecowley7251]

I thought that having a girl in here would ruin Toms song but no, she killed it😍😍 great song

[@ezra.williams]

This makes my ears happy but my heart hurt

[@peternewman3487]

ezra, It makes my heart ache.

[@steveetee]

ezra cx

[@mariakuczma9735]

Me too...

[@peternewman3487]

ezra, It makes all of me sad.

[@ellisonbrown523]

[@EmilNeander]

Thanks for letting us be with you inside the room! Can almost touch the emotions...

[@janna2579]

depression? cured acne? gone wig? blown

[@dianarosca2853]

lmaooo

[@dear.mibebe]

i was deadass crying and you made me laugh lol

[@RaymondeWoodman-zu5ge]

So sad yet so poignant. Feeling broken inside even st 70 this love thing still hurts but so pleased i have this song

[@koka4077]

Ooh it's the picture of the girl from the If You Wanna Love Somebody music video. Makes me think all the music videos for this album are going to be connected somehow... I hope they are. I can already tell I'm going to be listening to this album nonstop for a really long while, just like I did with the first two. Thank you so much for such genuine and heartfelt music, Tom, you are a true gem. xx

[@RaphaelMaitam]

Allright

[@karenv3259]

Yas, it's like "wrong crowd" album. First with "here I am", when he tries to enter to the party, then with the party on "wrong crowd", continued by "magnetised" when she remember a girl, and finally with the "silhouette" video, is the same girl. 🤔

[@elsierose2303]

1 small Connection is that in every song in the Jubilee Road it mentions Purple somewhere in the song. For example Purple Shoes in Half As Good As You Purple Dungarees in Jubilee Road Purple Eyes in China Dolls

[@lauramendoza151]

2016: I’m a sick of trying I’m a sick of trying Baby could you love me some more. 2018: Oh, I'm so sick of laying here So sick of counting tears Comparing everyone to you Oh, oh Oh, I'm so sick of waiting here.

[@Insupertrampvic]

[@nievesiglesias3920]

You made my day

[@davewoodward1155]

A master class in song writing: great theme, amazing tune , fabulous harmonies and brilliantly delivered. It deserved to be a mega hit. just glad 7.5 million have heard it on here.

[@t-rexgamer172]

Who are the 1000 people who "disliked" this song? I guess what I'm saying is I feel sorry for those people.

[@marcink8387]

"Jeśli kiedykolwiek znajdę kogoś w połowie tak dobrego jak Ty. Myślę, że może to wystarczy." Niesamowita piosenka o tęsknocie, oczekiwaniu, nadziei...

[@Allkj]

Maybe one of the most beautifully done songs I heard this year. Absolutely magnificent. Especially the video is masterfully done. I really like how Tom and Alice both are only shown from the side, and always the complementary side to each other. Just wonderful.

[@RobertJPyron8354]

I'm sorry for the 111 dislikes... They were my neighbours

[@markapple8631]

lol

[@matejaatanasov5888]

All of a sudden it seems that your neighbours aren't bothered anymore. 111 likes😉

[@planedoctor6084]

Lol 😂

[@lethos8811]

a few of them were MY neighbors. they hate my awful sing along sessions

[@harshavardhangangavathi]

I can't stop listening to this song. Both of these voices are so addictive!

[@roryfollinpiano2161]

As a pianist, you are literally like my only inspiration when it comes to music I need to relearn the one song of yours I know (imma learn more in the future)

[@roryfollinpiano2161]

Anamar Leticia well keep at it, the piano is such a fun instrument to play and all it takes is fast fingers for people to be really amazed at what you’re playing, although technical pieces do seem to be overlooked by the general public

[@roryfollinpiano2161]

Anamar Leticia do, it’s very fun to learn, especially when you can make people’s jaws drop, that’s probably the moment that made me fully commit to wanting to be a pianist for the rest of my life

[@fhpurcell7713]

This is the best collab I’ve seen in a long while. 100% sure the UK wouldn’t lose Eurovision all the time if it sent people like Tom Odell

[@AnotherBeerMovie]

So refreshing to see young and talented artists, no booty shaking no golden teeth, that's what we need. You know when i listen to Tom Odell i experience such a powerful feeling that humanity will become better. He cheers me up :).

[@tiendungle1398]

We need this vibe out of the mainstream out there. This is juz simply perfect

[@heymoon_]

I cried the first time and I'm crying now. This new album is so good I can't even explain how this songs talk to me. Thanks Tom, your music is pure magic💛

[@hannekedethmers6645]

Tom Odell is the king of songs about love as it really is... One beautiful mess of thorns and roses that we find so amazing but is bound to hurt us in some way, even when carefully handled.

I had a crush on one of my students and never acted on that. Just waited til the feelings are gone, but I keep every memory that we shared, all the places we went and all the small talks we briefly had. This song just brings everything back and it breaks my heart all over again.
