A World Alone Songtext

von Lorde

That slow burn wait while it gets dark
Bruising the sun
I feel grown up with you in your car
I know it's dumb

We've both got a million bad habits to kick
Not sleeping is one.
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
I'm biting my tongue.

But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're alone

All my fake friends and all of their noise
Complain about work
They're studying business, I study the floor
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks.
But people are talking, people are talking (But not you)
But people are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're alone

All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess then go home and get clean
You're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're all alone

I know we're not everlasting
We're a train wreck waiting to happen
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
One day we're all against the world (but people are talking, people are talking)
Get still

But people are talking, people are talking
People are talking, people are talking...

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're all alone.

All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess then go home and get clean
You're my best friend, so we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're all alone

People are talking, people are talking
People are talking, people are talking...

Let 'em talk
