The Louvre
Lorde Lyrics

Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue
Our relationship started off like a summer fling, full of passion and intensity

Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
Our infatuation with each other affects everything we do and fills every moment

Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
We spend so much time together that my clothes are scattered throughout your space

Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard
We express our emotions through intense eye contact and reckless physical gestures

I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush
I am deeply infatuated with you, to the point of being obsessive and irrational

Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
I am captivated by every little thing you do and can never get enough of watching you

I overthink your p-punctuation use
I analyze and obsess over every little detail about you, even down to how you use punctuation

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do
My tendency to obsess over you is not something I can control, it's just a part of who I am

A rush at the beginning
Our relationship started off with a strong emotional attraction and an intense physical connection

I get caught up, just for a minute
Sometimes I lose myself in our passion, but only for a brief moment

But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing
You are the reason for my obsession and infatuation, it's all because of what you do to me

Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest
The intensity of my emotions feels like a physical force, as if there's a loudspeaker blaring inside of me

Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
This is a reference to the physical/concrete manifestation of the 'violence' inside of her. It's broadcasting out like a sound resonating in all directions.

And make 'em all dance to it
This violent expression is all consuming - this love has so much power that it's affecting everyone around her.

Our thing progresses, I call and you come through
Our relationship grows and becomes more serious, even though I am the one initiating the most

Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you
I am willing to sacrifice everything, including my friendships, to be with you, even if it means being in a tumultuous relationship

But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre
Despite any complications we may face, we are the perfect match and deserve to be immortalized in works of art as a symbol of our love

Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre
Even if our love isn't perceived as 'conventional' or acceptable by society, we are still meant to be remembered and recognized as an iconic couple

Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall)
Although you may not fit the mold of the type of person I normally fall for, I am still drawn to you and deeply in love with you

I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?)
I know that I have allowed myself to become obsessed with you, but it's hard to deny the intense love and passion we share

Nothing wrong with it, supernatural
Our love is not something that can be easily explained or rationalized, it is beyond the natural realm

Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting
The closer you get to me, the more you will feel the intense, unstoppable force of our love
