I think it’s important to seek inspiration from all art forms. Taking a scene from a film or a mood from a painting and flipping it into something musical is a practice that can sometimes lead to ideas that you wouldn’t otherwise think of."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's probably cause I'm singing about you
Been trying to find the words to say
But they're just another thing I seem to lose
Do you remember the time we got drunk in Versailles
And we lost our shit?
Tell me are we just waiting for each other to say
Let's do it all again?
But I miss you more each day you're not with me
And just know when I sleep
That I'm dreaming of the only place I wanna be
And where I wanna be is next to you
I've been broken for so long
I need a break from trying to fix myself
Been running out of drugs to try
To try and fill the spaces that you left
We got too high in Paris
You were embarrassed when I made you dance
Tell me are we just waiting for the other to say
Let's do this all again
Cause' if there's one thing we're told, "c'est la vie"
But I miss you more each day you're not with me
And just know when I sleep
That I'm dreaming of the only place I wanna be
And where I wanna be is next to you
Remember the time we got drunk in Versailles
And we lost our shit
We got too high in Paris
You were embarrassed when I made you dance
Cause' if there's one thing we're told, "c'est la vie"
But I miss you more each day you're not with me
And just know when I sleep
That I'm dreaming of the only place I wanna be
Aaahh
(Are we just waiting)
For each other to say we should do this all again

Sometimes when you find such songs on spotify out of nowhere and you're like THIS IS MY SONG and you secretly cry to it and feel alive then you know it's too underrated that nobody knows about it so you don't tell anyone about the song you love the most because you wanna enjoy the song solely by yourself so you keep it to yourself
