Francis and the Lights - ETC

LYRICS
please stop saying etcetera
tell me every last thing he said to you
i'd be lying if i said that it matters at all
when i'm lying here; lying here next to you
see it was cold and i'm sorry i got you up
and i really didn't want to upset you
i was saying in the car "i'll make it all gone"
but i guess i didn't know it'd affect me so

oh, please stop saying etcetera
tell me every last thing he said to you
i'll be sorry in the morning i got so riled up
man i really didn't want to upset you
i'll be sitting on the floor right next to you
"so you really are sorry and it's your fault"
i'll be sitting on the phone, afraid to exhale
and i really can't stand how you're giving in always...

what will we do from here?
what will we do?
and will be happy?
really?
when we wake up...
will we wake up?

oh stop saying etc
tell me every last thing he said to ya
i believed everything you said before
but i really don't see how he "set you up"
well i guess he really "set u up"
cause you really couldn't stand to let me know
you'll be sorry later on; your mask will fall off
and i really can't stand how you're giving in always...

what will we say, to them?
what will we say?
and will we be happy?
really?
when we wake up...
will we wake up?
and what if we're dreaming?
i mean really?
when we wake up....
will we wake up?

[philab]

Literally been listening to this song and May I Have This Dance for the past 5 hours...I cannot stop. All your songs are incredible.... Sacred I dare say. Cannot thank you enough for sharing your craft with the world! All my love, from South Korea <3 <3 <3

[CHICKENOODLEGUMES]

Your music continuously raises the bar for the level of quality and artistic integrity of today's (solo) musician, i bet your shoes don't even smell bad.

[MichaelKingVids]

Fantastic. And Francis produces it and everything. True artist. And innovative. Such great sounds and vocals.

[kt]

This is so mellow, catchy and just simply put, GOOD MUSIC!

[dephjoe]

i have no words, no expression, for how deeply you touched me with this tune.. i got onto your sound thru jay scarlet a buddy of mine who posted it on soundcloud. i saw your videos, listened to your music, i´m blown away.. if there´s something like an avantgarde in the field of nowadays music, you are definitely the KING!!! Your artistic expression, musically as well as visually, is like nothing i´ve ever seen before, seconde to none. Thank you for restoring my believe in musical artistry again!

[veskibateman]

This music is incredible. I hear a lot of "this sounds like Phil Collins!". Not that I don't adore Phil, but this music, this artist, is completely unique.

[DeanJellicoe]

Very rarely play a tune over and over but this has struck a cord. Much love.

[honeybobv]

You don't know how long I've been anticipating the next "anything" from Francis and the Lights. This makes me soooo happy :)))) pure bliss

[linahmphuthi]

It’s 2021 and I still come back to this song 😌

[MsSherlockg]

Such a cool song. It has that chill R&B sound.

[sgfa]

Your work is similar to looking at a Francis Bacon painting but in music.
Mysterious, Strange, Haunting . . . YOU are the REAL DEAL for an artist.

[AmorBravo]

Love this Francis. So happy to hear from you again

[ryanjohnson]

Who in the world had the audacity to thumbs down this?! The nerve!

[JPlovesmusic]

oh my gosh thank you!! it was driving me insane for like three days. that beanie sigel + freeway track and ring the alarm = it exactly. LOVE your song man. cant stop playing it. keep it up!

[skimask]

hey youre actually pretty awesome dude. i like the vibe you provide.

[duro]

Yeah Soundcloud and Anthony Valadez brought me to the great song! This beat could loop over and over. First heard cruising up PCH to County Line and just kept driving to listen to it like 4 times. Bomb!

[Slavagfunk]

Fantastic! What a cool song & video!! Any time i see Miguel perform I keep thinking "now why isn't it Francis up on that stage instead?" ...as i'm drifting into slumber

[itskaym]

Thank you for not keeping us waiting that much longer. Sounds are always lush, mood setting....congrats on the new record
