Bewitched Album Lyrics by Laufey

Dreamer

Let me be a dreamer
Let me float
I can see the whole world
From my own little cloud
Up by the Milky Way
I'll stay here forever and a day

You can't pin me down
I fear all solid ground
I'd rather be alone at tea
Love when nobody's makin' me, oh
Boys just make me cry
Believe me, I have tried
I've made my rounds
Kissed some mouths
Trust me, I don't want a single soul around, oh

I'm giving up, I'm throwing in my hat
I can't take another lifeless little chat
I'm moving up into a cloud, into my fantasy
And no boy's gonna be so smart as to
Try and pierce my porcelain heart
No boy's going to kill the dreamer in me

(Dreamer, dream)

Some might call me mad
The worst this town has had
I fell right down the rabbit hole
Legends say I fell so fast I lost my soul
Oh, my melancholic days (melancholic days)
Are few and far away (ooh)
I've had enough, called it off
As far as I'm concerned, this witch is numb to love, oh

I'm giving up, I'm throwing in my hat
I can't take another lifeless little chat
I'm moving up into a cloud, into my fantasy
And no boy's gonna be so smart as to
Try and pierce my porcelain heart
And no boy's going to kill the dreamer in me
And no boy's gonna be so smart as to
Try and pierce my porcelain heart
No boy's going to kill the dreamer in me

Second Best

I'll never forget how stupid in love I felt
I'll always regret how I couldn't ever tell
That you walked a little faster, left me behind
Kissed me with somebody else in mind
I loved you so much
That I settled for less

Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best, mm

Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night (dream at night)
Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies
Well, you swung me around in that midsummer dance
Held me in close as you thought of your past
I love way too much
Oh, this hurts to confess

Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best (ooh, second best)

You've given me nothing to miss
Honestly, life has been much better since
I spoke to you last
Why am I still wondering
If I stand a chance or if you'd have me back?

Everyone warned me you were a bad idea
I never listen
Maybe I will next year
When I've walked a little further into my life
Fallen in love and left you behind
But I'm still a little in love with this mess

Oh, you were my everything
I'm just your second best
Mm
Second best

Haunted

One more kiss, wine stained lips
I don't want to go to sleep yet
Pale moonlight, misty eyes
I'll allow myself to have him just tonight

I hold on to every ounce of sin
I know he don't love me quite like I love him
I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn
This will end, 'til he haunts me again

Rose perfume, low-lit room
I'll pretend you'll stay forever
Lay me down, ghostly sounds
Haunt the hallways as he wraps me around

And I hold on to every ounce of sin
I know he don't love me quite like I love him
I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn
This will end, 'til he haunts me again

Must Be Love

Time's moving so much slower lately
It's like the world's playin' a joke
Laughing at me for falling foolishly again
But something's different, with you
Traffic on Sunset doesn't phase me
I'm just unusually composed
That is until I touch you and I can't pretend
I lose myself again, I do

I'm all in, I'm fallin'
Can't get back up
Can't think right, too tongue-tied
It must be love

Friends asking me where I've been hiding
I'm losin' hours in your eyes
Lost in your wonderland, I hope I'm never found
There's no one else around, tonight
I'm not so used to being happy
Now I just float down every street
You made a sappy, stupid something out of me
The kind I swore I'd never be
I'm awake inside a dream

I'm all in, I'm fallin'
Can't get back up
Can't think right, too tongue-tied
Come kiss me, convince me
This must be, it must be love
Must be love

While You Were Sleeping

I still can't believe that you noticed me an ocean away
The heavens would say it was meant to be
I'll never forget the first time I saw you then
Primrose at three, you had all of me
Without saying a word

I don't recognize myself
I'm dancing down streets
Smiling to strangers
Idiotic things
I trace it all back, three-thirty AM
That night, something turned in my heart
While you were sleeping, I fell in love

I can't quite believe you think I'm beautiful
Must be a trick, a, "Tag and you're it", kind of foolery
Then you take my hand, kiss me on the cheek
A light pink bouquet, a promise you'll stay
And I start to believe

I don't recognize myself
I'm writing a love song
Who've I become?
There must be something wrong
I trace it all back, three-thirty AM
That night, something turned in my heart
While you were sleeping, I fell in love

Lovesick

Floorboards creaking in my home
Deathly silence when alone
Oh, I wish that you were here right now
So, unlike me, somehow I
Fell in love in just three nights
Those November days still haunting me

When the gold rays fell on your skin
And my hair got caught in the wind
The choir sang a melancholic hymn (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
In the morning, you would be gone
I'd be mourning, tryin' to hold on to
The memory of your lips
God, I'm so lovesick
What have you done to me?

Let me in your atmosphere
Inching closer, but I fear
That I'll love so much, you'll slip away (mmm)
Getting twisted in my head
Dreams are nightmares in my bed
Since the last night that I spent with you

When the gold rays fell on your skin
And my hair got caught in the wind
The choir sang a melancholic hymn (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
In the morning, you're not in my bed
I'll just sleep until I fall dead
To the memory of your lips
God, I'm so lovesick
What have you done to me? (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

California and Me

Should've figured
That you'd go back to New York
Don't consider me
When you run back to her

You don't have to hide it
I know why you went
Said you needed space
I know better than that, mmm

Could've fought for you
But I just let you leave
Hurt too much to consider
You didn't love me

The mountains of LA
Will weep through the night
Driving down Sunset's a terrible sight, mmm

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay
Can't quit this, so damn wicked
To leave California and me

I imagine you holding her in your arms
Laughing 'bout how I thought that you were the one
I get so anxious and maybe I'm young
The first sign of trouble and I bite my tongue, mmm

Left me and the ocean for your old flame
Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay
Can't quit this, so damn wicked
To leave California and me

Nocturne (Interlude)

Promise

I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly, I didn't think about
How we didn't say goodbye
Just see you very soon

It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm

So I didn't call you
For sixteen long days
And I should get a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose

It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you

I've done the math
There's no solution
We'll never last
Why can't I let go of this?

So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
Who looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue

It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you

From The Start

Don't you notice how
I get quiet when there's no one else around?
Me and you and awkward silence
Don't you dare look at me that way
I don't need reminders of how you don't feel the same

Oh, the burning pain
Listening to you harp on 'bout some new soulmate
"She's so perfect"
Blah, blah, blah
Oh, how I wish you'll wake up one day
Run to me, confess your love
At least just let me say

That when I talk to you
Oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don't you feel it too?
Confess I loved you from the start

What's a girl to do?
Lying on my bed
Staring into the blue
Unrequited, terrifying
Love is driving me a bit insane
Have to get this off my chest
I'm telling you today

That when I talk to you
Oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don't you feel it too?
Confess I loved you from the start

Confess I loved you
Just thinking of you
I know I've loved you from the start

Misty

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty just holding your hand
Misty

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your, "Hello"
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near

Can't you see that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do?
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost?
That's why I'm following you
Following you

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove?
I'm too misty and too much in love

Too misty and too much in love

Serendipity

I won't pretend, I've been desolate
I won't pretend, I've been blue
It happened so quickly, one second it hit me
I've fallen quite hard over you
I won't pretend, I've been anxious
Just like I've always been
This time, it's sticking
And time just stops ticking
When I have my arms around you

Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes
Coincidences and cosmic signs
Have proved that I am quite naïve
I'm falling fast, failing gravity
And all that I see is serendipity

Ran into you on the corner
Of Ninety and Central Park West
Oh, how it thrilled me, I thank the big city
And, this, I will rarely confess
In years when we're losing our memory
The world's taken leaps over time
I hope that you'll look at me like I'm still twenty-three
Hope that you still be mine

Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes
Coincidences and cosmic signs
Have proved that I am quite naïve
I'm falling fast, failing gravity
I swear that, this time, it's serendipity

Serendipity
Serendipity

Letter To My 13 Year Old Self

Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym
Another girl's had her first kiss
Please don't think too much of it, darling

I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
But, baby, know that

You'll grow up
And grow so tough and charm them
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

Keep on going with your silly dream
Life is prettier than it may seem
One day, you'll be up on stage
Little girls will scream your name
The days of tears and failure fears
And no one cares
Will all make sense, 'cause

You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

Ooh

Bewitched

Wrapped me in your arms
Leaned in and whispered
"Keep me in your heart"
I'm so bewildered
What's this new desire called?
I didn't know that much at all
'Bout love before
But now, I think I'm learning

You bewitched me
From the first time that you kissed me
Waited all night
Then we ran down the street in the late London light
The world froze around us, you kissed me goodnight

You bewitch me
Every damn second you're with me
I try to think straight
But I'm falling so badly, I'm coming apart
You wrote me a note, cast a spell on my heart
And bewitched me
Bewitched me

You're not even gone
I already miss you
What's going on?
I've never been through
This all-consuming, fire fuming
Cursing at the moon and losing
All control and crying
'Cause I think I'm falling

You bewitched me
From the first time that you kissed me
Waited all night
Then we ran down the street in the late London light
The world froze around us, you kissed me goodnight

You bewitch me
Every damn second you're with me
I try to think straight
But I'm falling so badly, I'm coming apart
You wrote me a note, cast a spell on my heart
And bewitched me
Bewitch
You bewitched me
