Lyrics:
I’ve rejected affection
For years and years
Now I have and damn it
It’s kind of weird

He tells me I'm pretty
Don’t know how to respond
I tell him that he’s pretty too
Can I say that? Don’t have a clue

With every passing moment
I surprise myself
I’m scared of flies
I’m scared of guys
Someone please help

Cuz I think I’ve fallen
In love this time
I blinked and suddenly I have a valentine

What if he‘s the last one I kiss?
What if he‘s the only one I‘ll ever miss?
Maybe I should run, I‘m only twenty-one
I don‘t even know who I want to become

I‘ve lost all control of my heartbeat now
Got caught in a romance with him somehow
I still feel a shock through every bone
When I hear an “I love you”
Cause now I‘ve got someone to lose

The first one to ever like me back
I‘m seconds away from a heart attack
How the hell did I fall in love this time?
And honestly, I can‘t believe I get to call you mine
I blinked and suddenly
I had a Valentine

[aaronpeter]

she’s like an artist you hope nobody else finds because you want her to be your own treasure but at the same time, want her to be incredibly successful. happy valentines, everyone!

[coracasanovabonafe]

this gives me vibes of those Disney scenes where a character is chilling as they walk through the whole town until they end at beautiful place

[unholyshot]

I love the line "maybe I should run. Im only 21" cuz I found myself a valentine and I feel that. I am over the moon to have him, but Im scared to lose him.

Just discovered Laufey a couple days ago from a George Collier transcription, and she’s definitely one of my new favorite artists. Such a lovely voice and superb ear for beautiful melodies

[Violet-Butterflyyy]

Her music is sad, happy, calm, relatable, and hurtful 😭

[nlie]

this song is EXACTLY my vocal range i love her voice sm

[magsworldchannel]

It's crazy how I discovered this song at the exact right time, I truly think it's a message from the universe at this point because I bet the opportunities were really low. I am living the life that this song is describing, I see myself in every single word and the chill atmosphere that the music creates is very comfy!♡ I am 21 and I am in my very first relationship with a guy, I was so scared at the beginning because everything is new to me and I used to be clumsy or don't know how to respond at all his "you are pretty" and "I like you". I sincerely go to sleep thinking that this is all a dream because our relationship is healthy, he is everything I ever thought about when my friends used to ask "who is your type?" and I don't think i deserve him. I know we are young and I'm also aware that he will not be the love for the rest of my life, it's too early to say that and I get anxious thinking about the future (and I rationalise everything). This year's Valentine was my first spent with a person by my side and even if it feels unreal, I hope that this feeling never ends. We are in a two months relationship now!🌻

Sincerely manifesting an healthy relationship for everyone reading right now.💞

It's scary how perfectly this song expresses my feelings regarding romance. like, if I get a partner one day, I literally won't know how to act. This anxiety is lowkey what's keeping me from pursuing a relationship.

[amou]

Im really glad musicians like her preserve the art of old school Jazz that is unfortunately slowly dying.

[Musicallison]

Y'know, I've never really tried dating before despite the opportunities I've had but for whatever reason I've been feeling the desire to change that recently. If things end up working out for me, maybe I'll do a private cover of this beautiful song for whoever I end up with 💕

[sweethærinn]

I’m so happy that there are still people like her, I love her style of music and her voice is absolutely so unique and beautiful.

[klchu]

This song really makes me think of my grandmother, who left us in 2020. She was an excellent self-taught piano player and would play songs like this all of the time. She loved the music of her youth, and also current modern music. She would have loved your songs and playing style, and knowing that people still play songs like this.

Dear Laufey
Since I'm early, I'm hoping you'll see this.
You are such an inspiration to me
Especially vocally
As a contralto, finding others with similar vocal ranges to my own is so exciting
Not to mention your songwriting skills are beautiful. A perfect blend of such a sophisticated style with the blend of casual language. Always gives me a sense of carefree happiness that I don't often find elsewhere.
Thank you for showing your talent to the world ❤️

[callmedj]

My girlfriend sent me this and um yeah, I love her so much.

[kairiasa]

Jazzy, calm, soothing, elegant. Sounds like one hell of a posh song. Brings you to a beautiful beach with the sun about to rise and crashing waves. Or a field of different kinds of flowers like sunflowers and dandelions with with blowing through the valley

[diegovasquezpoot]

The best thing about Valentine’s Day is this song, a gift for the soul. 💝

[thatgreenparrot]

I think what I like about Laufey’s music is not just her “timeless” sound, and beautiful voice, but it’s also how every song makes her a protagonist of her own love story.

That’s like literally the image invoked in my head. I think you can create a film with all her songs, and you’ll see her ups and downs moments in her own love story.

Am I the only one that feels like this? Hahaha

[WackyTKKCalypso]

found this song about 2 days before valentines. now it's valentines and i've been listening to it nonstop. absolutely wonderful.

[lastprince]

When I miss her, I listen to her favorite song. This is her favorite song.
