Lyrics[]
[Holly Macve]:
It only takes one week to fall out of love
With a woman like me, for a man like you
It only takes one look to catch a stranger's eye
And imagine a life, flashing colors while I'm blue
[Lana Del Rey & Holly Macve]:
I'll sit back in my suburban house
While the nights close in and the leaves turn brown
I'm not waiting for what you think I am
I know love comes and goes, love comes and goes
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Lana Del Rey]:
It only takes one turn to see a clear open road
Pretty white mountaintops, so many places to call home
I'm only just behind, but I'm already out of view
You always said snow looked so perfect whеn it's untouched and new
[Lana Del Rey & Holly Macve]:
I'll sit back in my suburban house
No whitе picket fence is gonna save me now
I'm not waiting, I know you've made your mind, and
Love comes and goes, love comes and goes, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oooh-hoo-ooh
