MOVIE
Tom Misch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"My cheek brushes against his
Smooth on stubble for a moment
And then it's gone
He walks along the platforms into the dream
Every fiber in me wants to shout and scream
'Stop!'
To run across to him, to take him in my arms
To tell him, 'I love you! You silly, silly man, I love you!'
But instead I stand still
Heart cracking
Those little curls on the back of his head bouncing
As he steps out of my life, forever"

I hope
That the fire we both made
Still burns a little in you
I wrote, to you
Everyday, did my letters find their way?
Our memories on my screen
Two lovers in this mystic dream
Baby, come back to me, come back to me
Too much time on my phone
Baby, do you still sleep alone?
Come back to me, come back to me

Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
What would you realize
What you meant to me, or was it mystery
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
What would you realize
What you meant to me, or was it mystery

I heard
That you moved somewhere far away
Is your number the same as before?
I can't ignore, the time
May have changed your ways
Does my record still hang on your wall?
Such a sentimental way to groove
I hope it still touches you
Baby, come back to me, come back to me
It kills me to see you leave
So I came home and made this beat
Baby, come back to me, come back to me

Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
What would you realize
What you meant to me, or was it mystery
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
What would you realize
What you meant to me, or was it mystery

Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in old lover's dream
Still playing on new movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in old lover's dream
Still playing on new movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in old lover's dream
Still playing on new movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in old lover's dream
Still playing on new movie screens

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Tom Misch's song MOVIE describe the heartache of missing someone who has walked out of your life. The singer reminisces on a moment where she brushes cheeks with her former lover, feeling the smoothness of his stubble, only to watch him walk away from her forever. She yearns to run after him, to tell him she loves him, but instead, she stands still, her heart cracking. In the second half of the song, the singer wonders if her former lover still thinks of her, if their memories still hold meaning to him. She writes letters to him daily, hoping that some find their way to him, and she asks if the fire they once had still burns in him. The song ends on a wistful note, with the singer reminiscing about what could have been and wondering if they will ever be together again, likening their past love story to a black and white movie.


The lyrics "Fresh out a black and white movie, movie, on every screen. What would you realize? What you meant to me or was it mystery?" convey the idea that their love story was so real to her, it felt like it could have been a classic film. The use of 'black and white' alludes to a time when movies were simpler, more romantic, and had happy endings. The singer wonders if her former lover realizes how much he meant to her or if his feelings were not as strong as hers.


Apart from the poignant lyrics, the song has a mellow beat with light piano notes, guitar riffs, and a subtle drum beat. The chorus is catchy and easy to sing along to, with its repetitive line 'Remember me, let's set the scene.' MOVIE was released in 2018 as one of the tracks on Tom Misch's debut album 'Geography' and has since gained over 45 million views on YouTube.


Line by Line Meaning

My cheek brushes against his
Our faces met, only for a brief moment.


Smooth on stubble for a moment
I felt his rough unshaved face brush against mine.


And then it's gone
Our physical contact ended quickly.


He walks along the platforms into the dream
He walks away from me, into his own world.


Every fiber in me wants to shout and scream
I desire to shout out his name and feelings towards him.


'Stop!'
I wish he would stop walking away.


To run across to him, to take him in my arms
I want to run towards him and hug him tightly.


To tell him, 'I love you! You silly, silly man, I love you!'
I want to confess my love to him and call him silly for leaving.


But instead I stand still
I remain in the same spot.


Heart cracking
My heart is breaking.


Those little curls on the back of his head bouncing
I observe him from behind as he walks away, noticing his hair bouncing.


As he steps out of my life, forever
I realize that he is truly leaving me forever.

lyrics / thank u for this masterpiece <3

My cheek brushes against his
Smooth on stubble for a moment
And then it's gone
He walks along the platforms into the dream
Every fiber in me wants to shout and scream: Stop
To run across to him, take him into my arms
To tell him: I love you! You silly, silly man, I love you
But instead I stand still, heart cracking
These little curls on the back of his head bouncing
As he steps out of my life, forever
I hope
That the fire we both made
Still burns a little in you

Everyday, 'til my letters find their way

Tom Misch is a prodigy. The musical whereabouts to fuze jazz with pop, and also make you emotionally feel connected to the song. The flow, cadence, and rhythm is just other worldly. I haven’t quite heard anyone in all my life write more beautiful songs.

@indigochihuahua05

He is legendary

@BlvdRoad

Hate to say this, but its been done. Neo soul has been around for a while. Tom Misch does it good though
