Lyrics:

I can still remember the number they pinned to my shirt
it was a talent show for kids and I was an introvert
but with you Emely, I inherently
feel like nothing babe till you look at me
I wanna overexpose the photograph with you
my kingdom, my kingdom for that moment you undress
we both know they started wars over smaller shit than this

babe I’m in love with you

let it be, let it be mistaken and then let it be right
I mean how can it be flawless if the flaws are written down deep inside
and maybe they want you just as much honey as I want you
and maybe they can love you in manners that i can never do
but it doesn’t mean I don’t have my ways

is it good enough? can it pass for love?
i wanna ride with you baby till the wheels come off
we're a strip club, honey, where the names are real

babe I’m in love with you
babe I’m in love in love with you
cause babe I’m in love with
please stay I’m in love with you

when there is sand in the machine
and there are glitches on the screen
i promise you, no dirty tricks
and no choo choo trainwrecks

I sing a song and i do the talk
the ding dong and the quack quack
when I’m paranoid, when I distrust
when pornography is looking back at us

we have enough, enough to consume
there ’s comfort in abundance in this room
if they change the lock, if ever they change the lock
if they change the lock we just don’t give a fuck

cause I can lay my head on every stone
when I ’m with you girl, I'll call it home
I lose my edge when I’m with you
what do I care, just want to be corny for you

it’s simple as babe I’m in love with you
babe, I’m in love in love with you
babe I’m in love with you
come on now stay, I’m in love in love with you

[uhuhuhuhuhuh]

I met a girl once. A total stranger After a few days of talking, long walking and hanging around we started to send each other songs, that would fit our vibes and she sent me one of your bands' songs - Love's a stranger. It was a year-and-a-half ago. I totally fell in love with her and what is totally surprising, she fell for me aswell. I have never felt like that, neither before nor after. And now, well, we do not talk anymore. Because I managed to fuck it up. But your band stood with me to this day and I know every lyric for the songs she sent me - including yours. Now everytime I see Warhaus' song I come back to this moments of pure joy, wishing to turn back time.

[FeralMess]

And again proved that you don't need a million budget to make a great music video. Awesome!

[thenewtake]

Even though the video is in reference to the film Nostalghia, I’d like to also think of it as a call back to his first album, We F**ked A Flame Into Being. Now, he’s trying to light a new flame and doing everything he can to keep it burning so he can move ahead.

[Mariasg.b.u.always]

Τhe uphill climb of a relationship to love and how to keep the flame of passion burning...

[MairaPlastira]

It’s so funny how I recently re-watched the movie “Nostalghia” by Andrei Tarkovsky and I fell in love with it again, and now here’s Maarten one of my favorite Artists putting a reference from it on his new song. I love life’s coincidences.

[marinaoc]

Love how the distinctive sound is still there, the amazing backing vocals, the bass line, the half whispered lyrics, the thought-out percussion, but it still feels like a different sound! So excited about the new album.

I hope Madrid is included on the tour dates. :) I really enjoyed the March 2023 concert in that small venue, what a privilege it was.

[flegma]

He’s outdone himself with this one, can’t wait to hear the whole album

[cristinai]

A lot of work to keep the flame of love alive. Beautiful song and video! 🥰

[davidmarshall]

I'm almost 60 and I'm so taken in by Maarten's music. I have never tired of listening to new music, but this stuff makes me excited about it. I've never flown on a plane to see a live band because I live in a large US city, but since Warhaus, understandably, doesn't tour the US I just might have to fix that.

[TheArtOfTango]

How can something so simple be so epic? The answer: MEANING ❤

[MariuszCharytoniuk]

What a great reference to the final scene of Tarkowski's "Nostalghia"!

[evgeniyp]

Magic album, thanx! Warhaus, J. Bernardt you are guys great, but when combined that's something more outstanding ! <3 <3 <3

[Jedi-cloud]

Babe wake up! Warhaus dropped a new video!!!

[MsMarjorine]

This video from youtube recommendations brought me to Warhaus, and now I'm into Karaoke Moon so much, and listening to previous albums, and I already feel like I have plus one favorite artist. This is beautiful ❤

[bojanmiso]

Timeless sound, right from the start. Hats off!

[matilda]

I am here again, 3474738 times since it came out..just listening and watching again and again how beautifully he handles the light, so suspicious and determined. So simple yet so strong...An ALL in Comedian street AHAHAHA..
I am so happy that Warhaus (Mr. Marty) exist. Hope he doesnt puke reading this.😁🎊🤗❤️

[alessandroansuini]

Some "The man who owns the place" vibe. Good old time.

[Leamplamen]

OMG PURE LOVE flame of love flame of love flame of love flame of love

[garruscuriosity]

Genius video!! Nostalgia is one of my fav. movies. The song rules, cant wait to hear it life!

[collendemerez]

Your videos are so poetic and this one is so simple yet the symbolism is beyond, set to the soundtrack of this beautiful song and its pure magic.
