Japanese House, The - Lilo Lyrics






I needed someone to depend upon
I was alone, I was emotional
Searching for the right emoticon
To expand my mental lexicon

And Gemma told me that she met someone
It was the person I'd been counting on
It felt good, it felt transitional
A feeling I'd been waiting on

You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'till you
Hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave
And it's an easy ride

I saw myself an intellectual
I thought that I was capable
Every move was just habitual
And life was just a ritual

Then Gemma told me that she met somebody
Nobody else could take me from myself
I wasn't searching for it anymore
The feeling I'd been waiting for

You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'till you
Hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave
And it's an easy ride

Floating like a lilo with you
Going where the tide goes
Floating like a lilo with you
Going where the tide goes
Floating like a
Floating like a
Floating like a
Floating like a

You were floating like a lilo
With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
Caught in flux, you drifted 'till you
Hit the sides
Hold my breath another minute
I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
I'm a patient wave
And it's an easy ride

  21. w.... h....

    why they deleted this from spotify?

  22. K.... C....

    Being in the US, I did not know what a "Lilo" was, and at first, I assumed it was a British term for a waterlily. I looked it up and found out that it is just an air mattress or pool raft, and the song suddenly lost some of the beautiful imagery I had created in my head because all I could picture was a hot pink pool raft in a swimming pool.... This video has totally rectified that, and now I am extra sad because of the incredible romantic (in the old sense of the word) imagery in this video. Wow. Just wow.

    Also, my husband discovered her just 3 weeks ago and it just so happened that she was playing 15 minutes away the following week. We got tickets and saw her live. Never have I ever enjoyed a concert so much with music with which I was almost entirely unfamiliar. She was actually sick and still sounded AMAZING! I am now officially obsessed with The Japanese House. <3

    K.... C....

    Kate Connell, CPDT-KA that was me yesterday! I went to a concert with a friend who likes her and now I’m slightly obsessed 😂

  23. I.... t....

    I don't get it but wow

  24. �.... ....

    This sounds so Imogen Heap inspired, I love it.

  25. a.... ....

    How has it almost been a YEAR

  26. A.... ....

    This kills me

  27. S.... G....

    idk how to describe this song, but it made me feel so many things at once
    aim for living, sadness, love, dissapointment, pain, relief... just many things; its simply beautiful

  28. a.... ....

    Her voice is like dua lipa

  29. N.... R....

    WTF IS THIS GAY?

  30. c.... ....

    Coming back to this. Still gives me the same feeling when i first watched it. Still as painful

  31. s.... ....

    my heart 😭😭

  32. A.... G....

  33. J.... K....

    OMG ITS MARIKA :))))

  34. J.... B....

    The first time that I heard this song, it really pained me. I was still in a relationship that time. And now I came back here, alone. This meant and hurt alot.

  35. W.... C....

    This is the most lesbian thing ever and I’m in love!

  36. A.... H....

    The definition of banger

  37. a.... ....

    I can't imagine how strange it would have been having your ex girlfriend in your music video with you, but both yourself and Marika Hackman are fantastic musicians.

  38. a.... a....

    can someone please tell me what the first 20 seconds of this track sounds like?? im losing my mind, im guessing it sounds like one of bon iver's track???? but i dont know which one??!!!

  39. D.... G....

  49. M.... V....

    LETRAS

    I needed someone to depend upon
    I was alone, I was emotional

    It was the person I'd been counting on
    It felt good, it felt transitional
    A feeling I'd been waiting on

    You were floating like a lilo

    Hold my breath another minute
    I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
    I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)
    And it's an easy ride

    Floating like a lilo with your
    Going where the tide goes
    Floating like a lilo with your
    Going where the tide goes
    (Floating like a)
    (Floating like a)
    (Floating like a)
    (Floating like a)

    You were floating like a lilo
    With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes
    Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides
    Hold my breath another minute
    I can keep my head, there's nothing in it
    I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave)
    And it's an easy ride

  77. R.... A....

    I'm American; I had to Google what a lilo is lol

  78. V.... ....

  85. B.... H....

    their best song since saw you in a dream

  86. j.... s....

    I first heard this song on a playlist my friend sent me. i've been listening and jamming like there's no tomorrow. I looked up the person who sang it and discovered they were a girl (amber's voice is so endearingly ambiguous it makes me happy) but I was confused. I then had a small suspicion that she was Gay™ but I did _not_ know she was _this_ Gay™. this is Gayness Supreme. fucking amen.

    j.... s....

    Dis comment is priceless

  87. f.... ....

    Imogen Heap had to come back around again sometime, I suppose

  88. n.... i....

  94. L.... G....

    made my morning :)

  95. C.... F....

    THIS IS PERFECTION :'(

  96. D.... R....

    The part(s) that really get to me is how the bed was inflated in the beginning, both Marika and Amber being in it together, soon just seeing Amber sinking with everything at the end on her own. I’m not crying. :’)

  97. C.... ....

    Such a beautiful song and video ❤️

  98. M.... B....

    Awesome track. Added to our Earfresh and IndieChill playlists here
