Elegance Lyrics by Office Culture

Big Time Things

2022

[Verse 1]
Elegance, fashion and taste
You and me and the world
In one cold embrace
We pull out of it slowly
When we feel out of place
We stuff crumpled receipts in cracks in the walls
So somebody might know we've been here at all
As if poets and kings would sing of our rise and fall
It was our parents' generation, we should've remembered to call
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's got a list to check off
But nobody knows what they wrote it for
Well, you don't have to be like that with me, babе
Lists never did me any good bеfore
[Chorus]
You said "Don't look at me like that"
But I only want you to be happy
Don't you go giving up the ghost on me
I only want you to be happy
And back at home
Your mind can soar
And I won't be there anymore
[Verse 2]
Elegance, a dry joke on the phone
Well, there's more to the story but I'll mask my tone
Cause we've got better hills to die on
And troops of our own
When I think of the ideas they implanted in you
All the marks to fall short of, rusty twists of the truth
Sing me a song of that ruin like it had stolen your youth
In the haze of that memory, I thought I'd lost it all, too
[Pre-Chorus]
But everybody's got regrets to shrug off
Everybody's got a friend they never call
I won't ever be a fly on you, babe
I'll crouch, cock it back, spear it to the wall
[Chorus]
And I won't look at you like that
I only want you to be happy
Don't you go giving up the ghost on me
I only want you to be happy
And back at home
Your mind can soar
And I won't be there anymore
[Bridge]
I won't be there anymore
I won't be there anymore
I won't be there anymore
I won't be there anymore
[Outro]
I only want you to be happy
I only want you to be happy
I only wanted you
I want you to be happy
I only want you to be happy
I only wanted you
I want you to be happy
I only want you to be happy
I only wanted you
