[Verse 1: Jesse Rutherford]
You are the only one, the only one, the only one for me
You are the only one, the only one, the only one
I am the chosen one, the chosen one, the chosen one for you
I am the chosen one, I froze your lungs, your breath tells me the truth
I knew that you knew, I knew that you knew, and he knew it too
When I walked in the room, well, I could have died
I should've left, yeah I should've went, but I couldn't go
He was your man, but I am your lie

[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
I am a slave to these make believe things you say to me
And I've built this hate machine of broken dreams and the wall did crumble
I am a slave to these make believe things you say to me
And I've built this hate machine of broken dreams and the wall did crumble

[Verse 2: Danny Brown]
Check!
Can't think, can't sleep, can't eat, can't speak
Game so strong, thought I had a cheat sheet
But you got my heart beat like run around sheep
Little Bo-Peep can't kill my team
Still run around beats so I slap them sheets
Late night freak, queen black, who he?
'Cause when we together it's like he don't exist
'Cause it's all about you, not all about me
So baby girl, who you chosin'?
Foolish how you got my mind in ruins
Can’t think straight and I’m in mistake
Looking in your eyes and lying in your face
Rather lay in bed with your head on my chest
Strokin' yo hair when I’m holdin' deep breath
Feel so right, I ain’t got nothin' left
Heart skipping beats like a bad DJ set
Head so gone and I can’t think straight
Close my eyes, all I see is your face
Hear your voice bring chills to my spine
Lose my mind until you’re mine
Bitch I’m the chosen one, I’m the chosen one
All I can focus on, smoke and wine
Know I ain’t sober, text you to come over
Can’t make it to that bedroom, now we on the sofa

[Outro: Danny Brown]
Danny Brown and that Neighbourhood
When she leave you, she staying for good
Doing all the things that she wished she could
Doing all the things she thought she would
Danny Brown and that Neighbourhood
When she leave you, she staying for good
Doing everything that you wish you could
Doing things she never thought she would

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
