Lyrics:
I spent months gazing at him
Sitting ‘cross the hall
His dark hair, his glasses
Perfect overall
He looked so serious
He was mysterious
One Tuesday he caught me sneaking in a stare
He shot me a smile
I nearly tumbled out my chair
He said “Who are you? My name is James”
And that’s when I fell into the flames
Turns he’s a fool
That James
Oh, James
Oh, how I wasted my days
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
He said “Do you like museums?”
“They’re open late tonight”
How about we go together
Just you and I
And maybe we can have a drink or two
I‘d like to learn about you
But James just thought
It was alright
To go ahead and talk
About himself all night
Then he really felt he had to say
That he’d be a millionaire one day
Turns he’s a fool
That James
Oh, James
Oh, how I wasted my days
Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
My eyes rolled to the back of my head
It seemed like the night would never end
At one point I just stopped listening
His voice just became too sickening - เพลง

Imagine being James, finding out there's a song written about you by a beautiful, talented woman who has a crush on you ...and then finding out it's actually about you screwing up so badly on your date that she never wants to see you again. WHY, JAMES!
Oh come on james finally found someone to talk to about his future. The moment he did she hated him. James is a good man
@@Horzinicla oh come on. "Nice guy" energy
@@lilaclupin5966 wouldn't a nice guy talk about the girl a lot and not himself? I doubt james was a nice guy
@@Horzinicla I don’t think it was that he talked about his future, it was that he did it all night long. She probably couldn’t get a word in, and got frustrated. Remember, the line was “but James just thought it was alright to go ahead and talk about himself all night.”
Hi.
Plot twist: James is now Magnolia's husband.
🤣
magnolia deserves better LOL
Dude. I just heard Magnolia in the music list. Your comment came perfectly after.
😂😭🤣😭
😂😂
I'd love to see someone do a male cover of this song, but James was just really flustered and realized how much of a fool he was for blowing it HAHA
Like for the last part
My eyes rolled to the back of my head
It seemed like the night would never end
At one point I just stopped listening
His voice just became too sickening
It could go along the lines of something like:
Her eyes could strike you dead
I wish this night would never end
She seems to be a good listener
I hope my dreams won't sicken her
My guy got something in the works he just need the instrumental 👀
@@cliftonsnow8896 Let us know when it's ready! :)
THAT WOULD BE SO CUTEEE OMG
yes! He was freaking out cuz Magnolia was just too gorgeous. She didnt realize she was Magnolia all along
If Laufey isn't signed soon I'm gonna raise hell in the music industry. THIS is so good. This entire EP is so masterfully crafted. Can listen for ages.
Fuck the music industry
@@internetdinosaur8810 lol truth
God forbid she rather be an independent artist. Just praise the EP, damn
I hope she remains an independent artist and keeps her money. She's putting out excellent content, bringing back those lovely sounds from the American Jazz standard book. No one sounds like her. Keep it up, lady!!!
We are here now >
She’s underrated, but I kinda want her to stay humble because the world is changing out here. Whatever she decides to do in her life, I wish her love and blessings. Congratulations laufey, in everything❤️ beautiful soul
Same. I hope she becomes successful while still being able to be creative with her work. You see so many mainstream artist these days just following trends and not really going outside the box because it might make less money.
@@fireram360she became successful :)
@@fireram360Yoo broo, she's making great songs still !!!
Love It!

At one point I just stopped listening
His voice just became too sickening
I think it's "he caught me sneaking *him* a stare"
She is the definition of artist and musician
OMG FOR SOME REASON I WASNT EXPECTING THIS TO BE A FULL SONG BUT WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIF I LITERALLY WHISPER SCREAMED “YESSSSS”!!!! I REMEMBER BEGGING FOR THIS TO BE A FULL SONG ON TIK TOK
SERIOUSLY i remember going back to that video Tik tok like damn i really wish she did a whole song of this because it honestly sounds amazing a couple weeks ago and now 🤩
you know that artist who produces an album and you loved each and every track inside it? yeah. LAUFEY is undoubtedly one of those artists.
All I can do is picture Lily Evans singing this about James Potter
@@kaitlynlien love you for this
That's what I was thinking!!
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this 😮💨💕
THAT'S SO TRUEEE oh my god
ME TOO!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR JAMES SINCE LIKE LAST SUMMER?????? IM SO HAPPY LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
You’re blessing us with these tunes
all of your songs makes me feel like im in heaven laying down, closed eyes while listening to your songs laufey.
I will have your EP on repeat for the foreseeable future. Puts me in a great mood to start work and to grind through it. Like there’s something great waiting at the end of the day. Thank you for the hard work and passion you’ve put into this!
same!
Same!
Wow, I was not expecting any new songs after Magnolia. I feel like a child on Christmas morning.
I saw somebody in the comment section who put these lyrics out thinking of a male perspective:
Her eyes could strike you dead
I wish this night would never end
She seems to be a good listener
I hope my dreams won't sicken her
I thought they were wonderful so I went ahead and opened notes and starting doing different versions I decided on this one, I don't think I did there lyrics justice but its what I got :
She spent months gazing at me sitting cross the hall
her blonde hair like an actress perfect overall
she was so curious
she was delirious
One Tuesday I caught her sneaking in a stare
I shot her a smile
She nearly tumbled out her chair
I said, "Who are you? My name is James"
And that's when she fell into my flames
Turns out i’m a fool
My mistakes
Mistakes
Oh, how I wasted my chance
Oh, dreaming, dreaming all day
I said “Do you like museums they’re open late tonight?”
I was thinking we could go together just you and I
And that maybe we’d have a drink or two
I’d like to learn about you
And I just thought it would be fine
To go ahead and share some things about I
And I just thought that I should say
That I have my goals set straight
Turns out i’m a fool
My mistakes
Mistakes
Oh, how I wasted my chance
Oh, dreaming, dreaming all day
Her eyes could strike you dead
I wish this night would never end
She seems to be a good listener
I hope my dreams won't sicken her
Hope anyone who sees this likes my rewrite I'm gonna go ahead and revise it more to make it even better but I tried to do the lyrics justice :)
Also if anyone who sees this has any ideas please share them with me :)
This is cool
Absolutely stunning. Makes me wish I could sing just for this
It is no coincidence, that with 367 likes, there are no dislikers.
Extraordinary voice, and soul.

Mhm-mhm-mhm
My eyes rolled to the back of my head
It seemed like the night would never end
At one point I just stopped listening
His voice just became too sickening
some people are perfect, but only in my imagination. beautiful song
BLESSED MY EARS
this is so good🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌
You're unique, congrats!!!!

Just happened to click on your channel to listen to your amazing voice and I get a new song!! 😆
Such... a beautiful car too
love
Love it
Anyone know what the car is? It’s just too perfect for this, where can I get one ?
MGB 1960's -70's I think. British car. I have had another blue one.
Am in love with your music
i wanna go to a laufey concert so much but i dont have money, before i die i wanna experience this excitement and concert
if a Disney princess wrote a diss track. gold, this is pure gold
no joke i had the biggest crush on this guy named james for the longest time that had dark hair and glasses. we’re still good friends but it’s so funny how coincidental this song is
James punchin the air rn
THANK YOU FOR THIS it's so accurate with my previous friendship(?) HAHAHA :') i wanna cover your songs so bad!!! they're so good :(((( please release instrumentals as well!!
