Norah Jones - Flipside Lyrics






I tried to get high, but you wanted me low
Good things are happening, but happening slow
It's some kind of mystery from long ago

I finally know who I'm supposed to be
My mind was locked but I found the key
Hope it don't all slip away from me

Hard times, fine lines
Moments pass by and I cry
Rewind, step behind
It's hard to find the flipside

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

You saw your reflection all over the news
Your temperature's well past a hundred and two
Put the guns away, or we'll all gonna lose

Stand by, or take flight
Eat or throw your peace pie
Walk on, or be mine
Moments fly by and I cry

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

Norah Jones Flipside Comments
  1. J.... M....

    I love Nora Jones but she's comparing 75 year old America with all its racial conflicts to today's America and at the same time identifying the civil rights movement with "black lives matters" and the modern day "feminist feminazi movement" while singing a song that doesn't necessarily match the video. Boo!!! What happened to your music you were one of the only artists I still enjoyed?

  2. C.... S....

    I love how the blue notes Allways is so present in Norahs Music, she really deserves more attention!

  3. M.... M....

    She is perfect!

  4. M.... S....

    Why do you still have that mean sister look?

  5. r.... ....

    Like every Albums of Norah Jones since The Fall, I hated it at first and kept listening to it and they finally become my favorite one untill the next one.

  6. �.... �....

    Я пыталась подняться,
    Но ты хотел меня опустить на самое дно,
    Хорошее случается, но неторопливо,
    Это словно какая-то давняя тайна

    Я наконец-то знаю, какой должна быть,
    Мой разум был закрыт на замок, но я нашла ключ,
    Надеюсь, что все это не ускользнет от меня

    Тяжелые времена, тонкие грани,
    Мгновения проносятся, я плачу,
    Перемотка назад, я на шаг позади,
    Тяжело перейти на обратную сторону

    Я не выношу, когда ты просишь меня вернуться,
    Если мы свободны,
    То почему кажется обратное?

    Ты увидел себя во всех новостях,
    Твоя температура давно перевалила за сотню,
    Закопай топор войны, или мы оба проиграем

    Стой или беги,
    Съешь или выброси свой кусок пирога,
    Иди дальше или будь со мной,
    Мгновения пролетают, я плачу

    Я не выношу, когда ты просишь меня вернуться,
    Если мы свободны,
    То почему кажется обратное?
    Я не выношу, когда ты просишь меня вернуться,
    Если мы свободны,
    То почему кажется обратное?

  7. T.... D....

    Norah Jones shows her versatility and range transcending beyond her usual self. She can sing anything! Great song! An amazing artist!

  8. �.... L....

    ....awaking=)!!!

  9. C.... M....

    Sou apaixonado por essa mulher

  10. a.... ....

    underrated singer underrated song for sure

  11. j.... w....

    Norah as is her sis Anushka is cool! saw her play piano in the Woodlands Tx. Saw her sis play sitar in LA Ca. Once upon a time. John

  12. e.... ....

    Her mouth...

  13. e.... ....

    Her mouth...

  14. e.... ....

    Her mouth...

  15. e.... ....

    Her mouth...

  16. C.... R....

    Modernidade com respeito à tradição. Norah Jones é surpreendente!

  17. b.... b....

    Flop :'( 1 año y esto no llega a 300k

  18. A.... C....

    This song is good I like it. 🖒🖒🖒

  19. o.... A....

    I just love her

  20. T.... l....

    Love her sooooo much. Been a fan since '02!

  21. 1.... ....

    wow ✌️wow ✌️ wow

  22. S.... W....

    Obviously Norah has become a LEFTIST PIG with the shout out for Black Lives Matter in this video.
    I don't know why Liberals think it's a good idea to push their political views on the rest of us.

  23. s.... o....

    love 😍

  24. T.... S....

    beautiful

  25. J.... R....

    this is how they keep us in the two-party system: get some jackass like gw bush, john mccain or donald trump to run, you'll vote for some tool like skull and crossbones john kerry or coke dealing child killer hillary clinton

  26. J.... R....

    and yes, I'm going to indulge in my "I wish I had been her bass player and her lover" fantasy ; )

  27. S.... S....

    Amazing............

  28. M.... F....

    She deserves some recognition

  29. B.... F....

    got to see her live in march. she's amazing.

  30. M.... F....

    Her voice is so calm, it can relax me

  31. M.... B....

    I was listening to your songs for the first time and wow! Your voice is just so idk i cant even discribe it and i love your songs! Please moreeee!!!!

  32. A.... ....

    I love me some Norah but I'm not really feeling this song!!

  33. C.... V....

    I have her name I'm going to meet her

  34. I.... A....

    Great song, one of my favorites from the last album! I loved the video too! =)

  35. H.... M....

    Norah pays homage to Eddie Harris and the song "Compared to what". Good job Norah!

  36. E.... ....

    I first heard this song on an installment of "Later... with Jools Holland." I really liked it. Norah Jones is like a fine wine; she gets better and better with age. I love it! Definitely a winner here. ☺👍

  37. E.... J....

    Demais esse som!

  38. M.... ....

    I love how direct the piano is in this song. Norah Jones is amazing.

  39. K.... A....

    Love the electric piano chords🎹

  40. S.... ....

    she is one of my favorite singers and piano players, female or not, she be one worlds bestest badasses!

  41. D.... S....

    Saw her live last night - she's awesome!

  42. A.... ....

    watch this one live. her and the touring band get particularly amped up and go hard on this one. in particular Norah conveys a sense of anger and desperation during the chorus that she usually is more subtle about. they extend it out beyond the studio version. great stuff.

  43. K.... I....

    Com momentos de tantas mudanças no mundo e governo uma voz que traz a ideologia em forma de arte e canção e libertador.

  44. L.... T....

    I tried to get high, but you wanted me low
    Good things are happening, but happening slow
    It's some kind of mystery from long ago

    I finally know who I'm supposed to be
    My mind was locked but I found the key
    Hope it don't all slip away from me

    Hard times, fine lines
    Moments pass by and I cry
    Rewind, step behind
    It's hard to find the flipside

    I can't stand when you tell me to get back
    If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

    You saw your reflection all over the news
    Your temperature's well past a hundred and two
    Put the guns away, or we'll all gonna lose

    Stand by, or take flight
    Eat or throw your peace pie
    Walk on, or be mine
    Moments fly by and I cry

    I can't stand when you tell me to get back
    If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
    I can't stand when you tell me to get back
    If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

  45. S.... ....

    Last Saturday,I went to a concert of Norah jones at 日本武道館.
    Before that,I had never been to a concert, let alone Norah jones.And I am a japanese so that the opportunity to go to Norah's concert was very rare.
    So,that was really wonderful and I was touched by her power of expression! I am proud of my going to that concert in my teen!!!

    Norah! Thank you for your smooth voice. I'm an indie singer/songwriter, recently uploaded my first video to my Youtube page. So appreciative of the support!

  78. G.... F....

    Please make a music video for Day Breaks. It's the best song in the album in my opinion

    G.... F....

    Guilherme Franco pienso igual que tu, de hecho, tuve un sueño raro, que day breaks era el soundtrack de una película, pero al despertar la busque como loco, pero solo había sido mi imaginación, y desde ahí se volvió mi favorita

  79. T.... C....

    Bruno C. Você não precisa desmerecer outras artistas com a intenção de enaltecer outra

  82. R.... V....
