[Verse 1]
Angel baby, there is
Nothing I'd rather do
Think I love you, but I know that I will never do
Everything I love becomes everything I do

[Pre-Chorus]
So, tell me anything, anything you want
You're my darling girl, tell me what's on your mind
Tell me anything, anything you feel like
Anything you feel like

[Chorus]
Je comprends
Je l'ai dit
C'est la vie
Oh Montréal, pull apart (I don't mind)
Running every red light, you were right
Oh Montréal, don’t break my heart
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you

[Verse 2]
Angel baby, you got me feeling kinda blue
Think I need you and you know the things that I would do
Everything I love is consolation after you

[Pre-Chorus]
So, tell me anything, anything you like
You're my darling girl, tell me what's on your mind
Tell me anything, anything you feel like
Anything you feel like

[Chorus]
Je comprends
Je l'ai dit
C'est la vie
Oh Montréal, pull apart (I don't mind)
Running every red light, you were right
Oh Montréal, don’t break my heart
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you

[Outro]
I don’t need no medicine
Gonna dance all night
I’m high on adrenaline
That's right, that's right, that's right
I don’t need no medicine
Gonna dance all night
I’m high on adrenaline
That's right, that's right, that's right
That's right, that's right, that's right
That's right, that's right, that's right
That's right, that's right, that's right

Grimes is the pseudonym of Claire Elise Boucher, a singer-songwriter and experimental electro pop producer. Her music is characterized by 80s-influenced synths, pop sensibility, and high-pitched, ethereal vocals that sit in the background.

Upon releasing her first two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, in 2010 (Arbutus Records), and a split record with d'Eon called Darkbloom in 2011, she increased her fanbase and captured the attention of many. The attention led to a record deal with label 4AD and her third album, Visions, released in 2012, which she produced entirely on Garageband. The album received mass critical acclaim and pushed Grimes closer to the spotlight. At the end of 2013, she signed to be managed by Roc Nation, and following some sparse releases, released Art Angels in 2015. This album once again showed Boucher’s skilled craft, but with catchy choruses that she’d bend and twist to expand the possibilities of music.

Armed with passion, eclecticism, and a distinct sense of confidence, Grimes' music excites and enthralls her listeners, challenging them emotionally and psychologically. Grimes' discography reflects her obvious versatility—feminist club bangers, “escaping into art”, politically-coded tracks regarding sexual assault, and lyrics surrounding numb artistry. Her inability to read music doesn’t affect her quality whatsoever; she produces and engineers all her tracks herself.
