Lyrics:
You wake up late you feel your heart begin to work
and now you’re all dressed up of course
and hailing cabs out of your door
on 14th street I feel my head between my knees
and orange swimming through the trees
and orange swimming through the trees
where could I go what could I do put in the state
my lips and eyes give me away
and now there’s nothing I can say no
I’m pulled away I see another of myself
who’s found true love and happiness
to sit and smoke there on the chair for
two boys: one to kiss your neck and one to bring you breakfast, get you out of bed when
you’re sore from the night before from knocking at my door your head against the floor boards
two boys: one to love you sweetly one does so discreetly never will he meet me but
I’m sure that you'll catch your breath you’ll sleep into the day to wake up with sunlight across your room
before I leave I want to try to go back in time
to just that moment in my life where I should have spoke up but I lied
as I sat there with my jaw open and I smiled
he pulled his sweater off and tried to explain he’d all but given up on love
I’m pulled away I see another of myself who’s found true love and happiness
To sit and joke there on the chair
beside the bed I read this past week’s New Yorker
and I watch him paint Antarctica and watch him paint Antarctica
two boys: one to kiss your neck and one to bring you breakfast, get you out of bed when
you’re sore from the night before from knocking on my door your head against the floor boards
two boys one to love you sweetly one does so discreetly never will he meet me
but i''m sure that you'll catch your breath you’ll sleep into the day to wake up with sunlight across your room
telling me something or nothing
never the one thing I wanna hear
telling me something or nothing
never the one thing I wanna hear - เพลง

He sounds like he’s smiling the whole time while singing it’s so wholesome
reminds me of listening to owl city back in middle school and pining super hard for adam young
@@cheeseboy8241 The validity of this statement... I was in high school but still, had a major crush on Adam.
LMFAOOOOO!! We play Amazon music at work and I keep hearing this and this is the exact thought I had 💀🤣
Nothing wholesome about a dude talking about boys
this song wakes me up and makes me wanna live goodly
this song makes me feel so weird like it injects some music movie moment feeling to my life
are you possibly gay?
one of my favorite songs of his. i play it almost every morning, it just really gets me in the mood to start the day. the lyrics paint such a vivid picture, too. great stuff
You wake up late, you feel your heart begin to work
And now you're all dressed up of course
And hailing cabs out of your door
On 14th Street I feel my head between my knees
And orange swimming through the trees
And orange swimming through the trees
Where could I go? What could I do?
Put in the state, my lips and eyes give me away
And now there's nothing, I can say, no
I'm pulled away, I see another of myself
Who's found true love and happiness
To sit and smoke there on the chair for
Two boys, one to kiss your neck
And one to bring you breakfast
Get you out of bed when
You're sore from the night before
From knocking on my door
Your head against the floor boards
Two boys, one to love you sweetly
One does so discreetly
Never will he meet me
But I'm sure that you'll catch your breath
You'll sleep into the day
To wake up with sunlight across your room
Before I leave I want to try to go back in time
To just that moment in my life where I should have spoke up but I lied
As I sat there with my jaw open and I smiled
He pulled his sweater off and tried to explain he'd all but given up on love
I'm pulled away, I see another of myself who's found true love and happiness
To sit and smoke there on the chair
Beside the bed I read this past week's New Yorker
And I watch him paint Antarctica, and watch him paint Antarctica
Two boys, one to kiss your neck
And one to bring you breakfast
Get you out of bed when
You're sore from the night before
From knocking on my door
Your head against the floor boards
Two boys, one to love you sweetly
One does so discreetly
Never will he meet me
But I'm sure that you'll catch your breath
You'll sleep into the day
To wake up with sunlight across your room
Telling me something or nothing
Never the one thing I wanna hear
Telling me something or nothing
Never the one thing I wanna hear
Telling me something or nothing
Never the one thing I wanna hear
He's one of the most precious human beings in this world ❤
I LOVE this song.... I once heard it randomly on XM radio a year ago and couldn't stop hearing it in my mind or thinking about it... I had to find it!!!!! Honestly I dont even remember how it came around to me, but a few months later I found it again and have been obsessed ever since..... even my kids love it!!!!!!! :)
This feels more like vampire weekend then vampire weekend does
Rostam was so missed on the latest VW album. Still a great album but his contributions were major
Than
This song is so perfect-what a beautifully fitting music video to accompany it!!
This song is so good.
I don't know why this song has not become huge.
Also I noticed that the break part where Rostam sings "two boys..." is so low that I cannot sing along.
Surprisingly his voice range is amazing as well.
I'm a huge bike dork who misses being able to go to Europe and love that he's using a bike share, taking trains, and walking everywhere. Also, great artist, song, and video. ♡
My English teacher's favourite song, I see why
Beautiful piece of art rostam!
Man, I've never been this early for a music video. Just discovered Rostam earlier this day and now this happened 💕
one of my favs from this album
I love this video, this song and this album. you're amazing, rostam
Heard this playing at a clothing store today! Love it!!
one of my all time favourite songs, all time favourite videos and all time favourite singers- you sound like your smiling or laughing while your singing
I imagine him smiling while singing this in the studio
I love how at one point when he sings 'Two boys' you can see two guys walking a bit behind him ahah
Could not take this song off repeat for days :D
EXACTLY how I pictured this video would be like when I first heard this song! Beautiful!
Absolutely love this video!!! 🚲✨✨✨
Love everything about this!
So goood..so lovely. I love this song! And the video was a great fit. ❤️🚲
I feel like he was one of the key members of VW. Don't get me wrong. I love Father of the Bride but I feel like Rostam added something to it that just can't be replaced.
currently obsessed with this song
beautiful! i love it! 🚲
The brain and artist that we need :,) Love you so much my sister got to see your show in Nashville tonight ♥️No better way to start(?) the year
Taylor Lanier 615!
I love this song. Keep working hard one day it will pay off.
Bro this is so good sorry for not checking ur channel for a long time
The mix on the chorus sounds different than the regular audio? Synths seem pushed down in the mix, vocals up. Maybe even a different vocal take?
yeah, i noticed that too. i prefer the album version though.
Yep, I felt that too, not bad but I prefer the album version
This song makes me so happy
Damn! I love it!!!!! Pure art
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YESSSSSS 💖💖💖💕
I bought this song after hearing the Song Exploder Podcast that featured this song. I like this video because there are not many photos of you and in this video there are several different shots of you. The song and the video make me want to give you a big hug of thanks.
This was literally me in Paris haha
hell yea brother, cheers from nyc
A whole video of Rostam pissing off taxis. ^ o^ Love this video and that amazing man like crazy.
Right?! I'm like move over man
I discovered this music through the OA, and I am so pleased. nothing but good things
The sweetness of this man…such a dream…
I love this song so much. There just aren't enough gay love songs, so having this one has been wonderful. It's so great that sometimes I just start laughing when I'm listening to it.
Thank you, Rostam!
I thought this song was about a girl having two boyfriends, love this song!
venom5610 yes Rostam is openly gay and if you look on Genius.com he’s officially added comments on his lyrics explaining its about two different kinds of boyfriends he’s had.
Rostam is openly gay, but these lyrics doesn't explicitly say it is about 2 boyfriends he's had... it is actually about seeing himself as 2 different kind of boyfriend... (the partner could be either gender)....
DQuiLon look on genius.com, Rostam has put up info about the song himself.
No One yeah, that is exactly what i looked up before replying to your post... Love his songs btw (I'm straight)
I love this beautiful song
LOVE IT- VIDEO AND MUSIC. AMAZING. KEEP ON ROCKING IT
Man! Love it!
Excited to see you at the urban lounge
I love you so much Rostam

i wanna cry. i wish VW would cover this song.
He used to be with VW Beto.... lol
+Rob Corey ...i know that...I've known that since "contra" (2010) wtf... i wish this was a VW song ie as in rostam were still an active member of the band
ahhhh, yea me too :(

Amazing song.

I listen to this song so much that I also made my girlfriend love it too. We catch ourselves just randomly singing it
I'm crying

This sounds more like vampire weekend than vampire weekend right now.
J'adore.
he so creative, I just know his songs at the end of this December 2022,,,,
Oh i love him now
nice
thank you * * *
Tunes always remind me vampire weekend..
Cengiz kıbrıslı i really miss vampire weekend
dude same here
Poly he did contribute to LP4 but I'd rather have him producing all songs
He did work with them!
The drums on this song are amazing! Does anyone know any songs with a similar vibe?
The National. Try maybe Geese of Beverly Road
god is this glorious
I found out thru twitter and I never clicked a link so fast
stellar song- but I'm especially living for all of the very confused citizens in the background being like "who is this guy? what is he filming?"
paris and berlin?
This music video strains me pretty hard... which city is this? I’m sure the metro is a Berlin one but the streets and store signs are in French and English sometimes... I guess it’s switching between Berlin, London and Paris then ☺️
This gives me all the fucking feels
Rostam back to the Vampire Weekend please, you two together were Simply Awesome. Rostam, Its parts in Cousins, Taxi cab, White sky among many others are magnificent a very pleasant sound to hear. I'm very much a fan of you, ezra, Chris tomson and Baio. I wish you much success and come back to the weekend. a big hug. Aah and if you talk to him some time there, ask him to do a show in Brazil, please. Earned
❤️❤️❤️
NICE!
Why am I only discovering this now?
Tell me about it.
классно!
❤
This Song is in my Spotify Playlist "!10/10! Best Tracks in Humankind! Unique and Special! (for Me!)"
Absolutely Amazing!
Funfact....

There's a similar style video with a guy riding a bike into space but it starts off with a guy on the ground next to a car implying he just got hit. pls someone help me out. it was an ad on youtube
2 boys, one to kiss your neck, and one to bring you back
Where was this video filmed?
