Song of the Day: Camilla Cabello - everyone at this party

Final song in my quick look at Camila Cabello's new album, Familia.

This last song I'll post is also very personal, just as intense but more wistful and sad.  The relationship is in the past tense, but it's still there in your mind.  You know the person is still out there.  You may even run into him or her.  You wonder if he or she is wrestling with the same questions.  Does he or she miss you?  Did you fuck it all up??  And you wonder if you'll see him or her again, and what you'd do if you did.

Camila Cabello - everyone at this party (Official Lyric Video)

A few lyrics:
Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
You're the only one I wanna run into
But I never do

And the direct questions:
And I keep having these thoughts
Did we fuck it up or not?
Did we waste two years?
And did you get the space you needed?
Did you realize you don't need me?
Hey, did you realize you don't need me?


Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Camila Cabello
"everyone at this party"

Didn't wanna ask our friend if you were gonna be here and make the whole thing weird
But I was nervous in the car just in case you are, just in case the coast ain't clear
And I'm looking over people's shoulders
And that's fucked up, I know that
And I just had this vision of you looking at me different when you saw this dress
But I'd have one drink and I'd say the wrong thing, so it's probably for the best
And I'm looking over peoples shoulders
And I'm hoping that you're somewhere close

Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
You're the only one I wanna run into
But I never do
Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
I don't wanna search for you in every room
But I always do

I got in last night, staying on the west side
Scotty told me you're here
And I keep having these thoughts
Did we fuck it up or not?
Did we waste two years?
And did you get the space you needed?
Did you realize you don't need me?
Hey, did you realize you don't need me?

Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
You're the only one I wanna run into
But I never do
Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
Don't wanna search for you in every room
But I always do

Everyone at this party isn't you
Everyone at this party isn't you
Hey, did you realize you don't need me?

Song of the Day: Camilla Cabello - No Doubt

Continuing my survey of Camila Cabello's fabulous new album, Familia.  Available here:

This song is a little more personal, about a bit of an obsession.  You feel nervous, you have doubts ... until you really make that connection!  But then you can't help yourself and you get paranoid again!  Overthinkers, I feel your pain (truly I do).

Camila Cabello - No Doubt (Official Lyric Video)

A few lyrics:
Imagination has gone belligerent
Seeing red flags that don't even exist
And that's the head I'm in
'Cause when shit is getting good, I just worry 'bout the bad again
I'm paranoid there's something I don't know
Got my demons creepin' on the low
But I don't even hear them anymore


Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Camila Cabello
"No Doubt"

Buta-yuh-yuh
Buta-yuh-yuh
Buta-yuh-yuh
Seeing visions on the ceiling
Drunken kisses, heavy breathing
You're up against the wall
She's unbuttoning your jeans and you tell her that you want it all
She loves you all night, makes you breakfast
Not just sex, it's a real connection
And out of love, we'd fall
And it makes me wanna scream why I'm making up this shit at all
I'm paranoid there's something I don't know
Got my demons creepin' on the low
But I don't even hear them anymore

The way we're making love, you leave with me no doubt
The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt
And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt

Buta-yuh-yuh
Buta-yuh-yuh
Buta-yuh-yuh
My head is racin'
Plead your innocence
You're not guilty, I'm hyper vigilant
I'm getting bad again (I'm getting bad again)
'Cause when shit is gettin' good, I just spiral into bad again
Imagination has gone belligerent
Seeing red flags that don't even exist
And that's the head I'm in
'Cause when shit is getting good, I just worry 'bout the bad again
I'm paranoid there's something I don't know
Got my demons creepin' on the low
But I don't even hear them anymore

The way we're making love you leave with me no doubt
The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt
And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt

(Bésame, besa-bésame) Buta-yuh-yuh
(Bésame, besa-bésame) Buta-yuh-yuh
(La cintura, tócame pa' que no sienta los celos que estoy sintiendo)
Oh, I'm going outta my mind, I (Bésame, besa-bésame)
Outta my mind, I (Bésame, besa-bésame)
I'm going outta my mind
(La cintura, tócame pa' que no sienta los celos)

Ooh, the way we're making love you leave with me no doubt
The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt
And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down
You take the psycho out of my brain
Yeah
And leave me with no doubt

Song of the Day: Camila Cabello - psychofreak ft. Willow

Did you know Camila Cabello has a new album out?  I just found out myself.  Well, after listening to one song then I listened to another, and then another, and so on.  And then I listened to them again.  It's a fantastic album.

Here is just one of many stories about it:
Camila Cabello gets 'true to herself' with new album

I have decided to share (at least) three songs from the new album.

Let's start with my favorite.  The lyrics are fantastic.  Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in?  I sure do.

Camila Cabello - psychofreak (Official Lyric Video) ft. WILLOW

Couple lines resonated:
I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill
Not have to leave this restaurant
Wish I could be like everyone
But I'm not like anyone

And these:
House in the hills is a house of cards
Blink and the fairytale falls apart
Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark
Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard


Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Camila Cabello
"psychofreak"
(feat. WILLOW)

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes
Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi
Tell me that you love me, are you lying?
Gimme lemonade, I give you limes
House in the hills is a house of cards
Blink and the fairytale falls apart
Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark
Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Sometimes I don't trust the way I feel
On my Instagram talkin' 'bout, "I'm healed"
Worryin' if I still got sex appeal
Hopin' that I don't drive off this hill
When we're making love, I wanna be there
And I wanna feel you pullin' my hair
And believe the words you say in my ear
Gotta go outside, I need some air

I want to, want to, want to touch you
Want to touch you, but my fingertips are numb
I want to, want to, want to love you
Want to love you, but my chest is tightenin' up
I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill
Not have to leave this restaurant
Wish I could be like everyone
But I'm not like anyone

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes
Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi
Tell me that you love me, are you lying?
Gimme lemonade, I give you limes
House in the hills is a house of cards
Blink and the fairytale falls apart
Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark
Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak
Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Sorry, couldn't focus on the movie
Everybody says they miss the old me
I been on this ride since I was fifteen
I don't blame the girls for how it went down, down
Thinkin' out loud
In the bathroom while my friends laugh on the couch
Wow, moment's gone now
Know you wanna stay, but I think I gotta leave right now

I want to, want to, want to touch you
Want to touch you, but my fingertips are numb
I want to, want to, want to love you
Want to love you, but my chest is tightenin' up
I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill
Not have to leave this restaurant
Wish I could be like everyone
But I'm not like anyone

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes
Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi
Tell me that you love me, are you lying?
Gimme lemonade, I give you limes
House in the hills is a house of cards
Blink and the fairytale falls apart
Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark
Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak
Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak
