"You're Not Special, Babe" lyrics
"You're Not Special, Babe"
If you could see yourself
From the outside in
You'd say you don't have to be more thin, it's ok
And if you could see yourself
From above the sky
I think you'd say that you're doing fine
Life is short until it's not
Honestly it's kinda long
It takes a while to come around,
People always let you down
Find the ones that get you,
Stick to them like hot glue
Dance if you want to
You're not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake I am right there on your side
You're not special, babe
Cause we all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak some things just don't change
You, you're an adult now
Make your own to-do list
And eat whatever you want for breakfast
Get a job just to get by
Spend your money til you die
Some people don't stick around
But don't let yourself down
Find the ones that get you,
Stick to them like hot glue
And dance if you want to
Cause you're not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake I am right there on your side
You're not special, babe
We all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak some things just don't change
Everyone cries, everyone lies
Everyone hates you
Everyone's so scared of the future, it's true
Everyone fucks up and then breaks up and then makes up everyone has days where they don't wanna wake up
Everyone loves, everyone loses
Then they're on their own
When everyone else is covered in bruises but we feel alone
And everyone hears us but they all seem to ignore us
Everyone else wants to get right back to the chorus
Cause you're not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake I
Am right there on your side
You're not special, babe
We all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak some things just don't change

Orla Gartland told about this song, "Growing up is weird and my twenties feel like chaos. 'You're Not Special, Babe' is a coming-of-age song written to remind myself that everyone goes through all of it: good times, bad times, strange times, dizzying highs and extreme lows. The title sounds mean but it's really meant to be a comforting message!"
Speaking about the
video for this track, Orla Gartland explained,
"I directed the video for 'You're Not Special, Babe' with my best friend and creative director Greta Isaac. I love working on these visuals with Greta because she knows me and these songs so well. In the song I sing lyrics directed at myself but for this video we dreamed up a movement-based piece (choreographed by Elan Isaac) that personifies the voices in three clowns (played by incredible dancers Hannah Hornsby, Kyll Thomas-Cole and Anaïs Reymond)."

The Japanese House - "Saw You In A Dream" I saw you in a dream
You had stayed the same
You were beckoning me
