[Hook]
And you said "I am now in love"
If it's only for a while
But you're jealous and now in love
So just sit the fuck down and smile

[Verse 1]
And hey stop pushing me
I'm only here 'cos I wanna be
Your tight pants are way too scene

And now I'm through with talking to Jesus
'Cos he was a prick when I met him in Teasers
Now this is love without sleep

[Pre-Hook]
But watch out or you'll crash
And you'll go tumbling down like Jack or Jill
And cease to come back again

[Hook]
You said "I am now in love"
If it's only for a while
But you're jealous and now look
So just sit the fuck down and smile

[Verse 2]
Hey, this is for me
Exactly what you wanna be and I'm
So sorry you had to be

As soon as your brother got to the door
He was jumping off the roof like he does parkour, he broke his leg
I pissed myself and did one

[Pre-Hook]
Watch out or you'll crash
And you'll go tumbling down like Jack or Jill
And cease to come back again

[Hook]
You said "I am now in love"
She's only here for a while
But you're jealous and now in love
So just sit the fuck down and smile

[Bridge]
But what are you listening to?
But why are you listening to?
I guess you'll go with that

[Hook]
And you said "I am now in love"
If it's only for
You turn in the rain
You turn in the rain
You turn in rain
You don't need me
You don't need me

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
