[Verse]
We were down at the hospital
Waiting for you to get well
..couldn't tell
In the ambulance you're laughing
..instead
We were down at the hospital
Thought about all the lies we tell
The real fun was when we were young, let's go back
(Back, back, back, back)

[Chorus]
It's time to come and kiss your oldest friends
It's time to let the lost boys take you in

[Bridge]
It's getting cold out
You wear yourself down
So please don't go out
You're looking dead behind the eyes
We'll stay at your house
Watch all those late shows on TV
I like it best when you're in here with me
And all the lost boys
We make a picture perfect team
Bruising sidewalks
With all the drumming of our feet
And boy, I promise
We'll never ever let you leave
Never let you leave

Lorde

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (b. November 7, 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a pop star hailing from New Zealand. While her earlier music focused on criticizing fame and the “pop star” culture, she grew into it more with her second album while keeping the superb writing she’s known for.

She first became a figure on the international scene with her debut EP The Love Club but didn’t start to blow up until her song “Royals” reached #1 on charts worldwide, including the US. Her use of apt metaphors and allegories at just sixteen made her a revered and intriguing media figure.

Although she was initially written off as a one-hit-wonder, her top-ten second single “Team,” curation of The Hunger Mockingjay soundtrack, and her friendships with other A-listers like Taylor Swift have kept her in the spotlight, as well as general intrigue about new music.
