Spektor, Regina - Folding Chair Lyrics






Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand, and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

Let's get a silver-bullet trailer
And have a baby boy
I'll safety-pin his clothes all cool
And you'll graffiti up his toys

I got a perfect body
But sometimes I forget
I got a perfect body
'Cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes, they do, they do

Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared and I'm sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song

Maybe one day you will understand
I don't want nothing from you
But to sweetly hold your hand
'Til that day just please don't be so down
Don't make frowns
You silly clown

Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand, and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

There's a shadow you can't see my eyes
There's a shadow you can't see my eyes

  3. S.... S....

    Jealous of that microphone

  4. S.... S....

    4,000 dolphins like this

  5. J.... H....

    Regina + Jeff Lynne = one of my favorite Regina Spektor songs. Jeff Lynne produced this song and his influence is all over it. Every ELO sounding song.

  6. D.... T....

    Indonesia love song this

  7. L.... ....

    she's so amazing
    "dreaming of the dolphin song" *barks like a seal* lolol it would have been funny if she'd sung it in those ee-eee-eee noises dolphis actually make

  8. P.... L....

    I heard that "I love you guys" at the end, can't sneak that past me :-D

  9. J.... B....

    just love her singing....

  10. A.... D....

    ❤️ this song is a gift to the universe 🙏🏼

  11. O.... W....

    The drummer is drumming too fast and it makes me so angry.

  12. J.... P....

    Vim pelo livro da Bruna Vieira

  13. R.... P....

    I Google translated the dolphin part but no luck.

  14. A.... B....

    The inspiration for the Doki Doki Literalure Club theme song is fantastic.

  15. O.... W....

    I feel like the drums were too fast at some parts. Like god damn, it's half a beat too fast.

  16. �.... �....

    Просто супер!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. C.... L....

    Come to Chile PLEASE! We miss you :'c COME TO LATINOAMERICA! COME TO CHILE!

  18. L.... A....

    she's just the loveliest, regina you are the loveliest

  19. c.... o....

    her best fucking song

  20. s.... ....

    Would love to see you live these are amazing :) Come to Saskatchewan!

  21. A.... C....

    God she is amazing!

  22. J.... R....

    THIS IS LITERALLY THE GREATEST THING

  23. T.... O....

    this song is a master piece, it's timeless

  24. R.... d....

    Yes they do, they dooooooo

  25. A.... B....

    how does she do this with her voice???

  26. B.... R....

    I so love this song...

  27. P.... G....

    Where have I heard this before, I swear it was in a commercial or something.

  28. Z.... ....

    the seas are just a wetter version of the skies

  29. R.... V....

    i'm hyped for the day

  30. R.... K....

    will you ever come to dublin

  31. t.... ....

    the look on the audience's faces

    like tears of joy

  32. J.... C....

    Regina's are the only songs I have memorize by repetition and not by looking up the lyrics.

  33. J.... C....

    This has got to be one of her best concerts she's ever done. She sings so ridiculously well that even autotune couldn't improve her voice.

    J.... C....

    I like the live versions way more than tje studio versions, actually

  34. O.... ....

    Hello! I am making an animation and I wanted to know if I could use one of your songs. I'll make sure to credit you in the description.

  35. L.... G....

    This song is weirdly cute. I adore this. 👍

  36. V.... S....

    Hi Regina, love you, waiting for new songs

  37. W.... K....

    Still love her

  38. F.... V....

    I get scared and I'm just sitting here alone...

  39. M.... C....

    Ms. Spektor:
    You are an inspiration. I love your style and your way with words. I've always loved singing, but you helped me come out of my shell, and now I sing in my highschool choir, with confidence. I hope to be as cool as you when I'm older.

    -Meagan

  40. n.... ....

    i love you so much. 

  41. E.... k....

    I love Regina so much!!!

  42. W.... K....

    I love her

  43. T.... ....

    never though id hear someone bark like a dolphin/sea lion in a song and make it work.
    such a fan

    T.... ....

    Yvlis ?

    T.... ....

    Couldn't agree more. Did you notice they didn't show her face during making those sounds? No appropriate mimics of a pretty woman's face for marketing I guess.

  44. C.... f....

    This is practically perfect for Armin Arlerts theme song

    C.... f....

    Hahahahahahhahahahahahaha

  45. a.... ....

    regina come to korea!

  46. G.... D....

    oh holly jesus!!! that women is really really pale!

    G.... D....

    I'm even more pale

  47. E.... B....

    and, it says this is folding chair, you are singing blue lips in this video, but it is still really good!!!

    E.... B....

    I think is your phone/computer/ whatever you used, because there's not mistake

  48. E.... B....

    Regina, you are really good and i am a big fan of you, your voice is so beutiful and neat, i really wish to meat you in person, but that will probably never happen so i would e honored if you subscribed to me, you`re just so cool.

  49. J.... C....

    I would marry the shit out of her

  50. L.... ....

    it makes me happy she had a baby boy... feelings this song brought suddenly... reminds me of a friend

  51. J.... A....

    Regina, "Goddess in London"

  52. r.... ....

    they spend a SHIT LOAD OF MONEY HYPING GAGA.
    ROLLING STONE WOULD HAVE YOU BELIVE SHES A GENIUS
    ROLLING STONE IS A MAGASINE THAT MAKES THEIR MONEY ON ADVERTISING,
    advertising is when you pay people to say nice things about you
    just , listen to gagas music, does it sound like genius music to YOU?
    ITS CRAP, PURE SIMPLE CRAP, MARKETED TO PEOPLE WHO COULDNT POSSIBLY KNOW BETTER, SHES A PRETTY GOOD SHOW GIRL
    THAT ALL
    there are 5 better singers in every school and church chioir in the world
    and im being kind

    r.... ....

    Amen @joshua megill :')
    And by the way I am in the music industry, your 'knowledge' is obviously reverberated verbal diarrhoea of hyped up media content. You don't know anything about talent or music If you have seen Lady Gaga perform live and think she isn't talented! Especially her Sound Of Music performance at the Oscars which was incredibly powerful, full of vocal melismas and praised by the world Lol I feel sorry for you @roman14032 

    r.... ....

    @John Seindanis what the fuck do i care?

    r.... ....

    +roman14032 fame is not a competition. Competition means only one can be good while the rest are immediately worse than the better one. Lady gaga isn't famous because she sings like shit. She has a wonderful voice and a ton of songs with meaning instead of bullshit lyrics like most artists. Two people can succeed in the music industry TOGETHER without having to fight to be the better one. It's 100% not a competition and that's a fact.

    r.... ....

    Gaga is super talented though. Stop comparing artists.

  53. A.... K....

    Супер

  54. T.... B....

    I can't get over the whispered "I love you guys" right at the end. Too cute.

    T.... B....

    Tommy Byler Right!

  55. �.... �....

    Генциков Влад подтирался листами из травы

  56. E.... S....

    This is my favorite song by her :)

    E.... S....

    This is the first song I've heard from her and I love it so far :-)

  57. J.... F....

    LOVE U SPEKTOR

  58. J.... F....

    my favorite song she wrote:)

  59. T.... Z....

    ta dziewczyna jest niemozliwa

  60. i.... ....

    Love. So much feeling for something that sounds so upbeat 

  61. s.... ....

    I luv u Reginia!!!!!!!

    s.... ....

    *Regina

  62. L.... A....

    Trully a star, in tallent and spirit.

  63. R.... H....

    I am a man and I love it too. It means you are simply more balanced in yourself and also, appreciate good music when you hear it, regardless of gender, music is to be enjoyed. Regina rocks. And that piano playing!

  64. D.... ....

    Hmmm.....my girlfriend says that this is music for a woman to listen to?? BUT I AM A MAN AND I LOVE TO LISTEN TO THIS!? :-O

  65. R.... M....

    come and open up your folding chair next to me regina :s

  66. T.... ....

    I ve loved regina for years and am going to see her on the 19th of august so after time apart from her music, listening to it again. this was always a fav. ive been struggling with my image. My eyes are really strange and the wrong size, im slightly overweight with thin friends who make me feel huge. I'm tall and gangly. I've got gross teeth. But this just made me stop and think. what am I worrying about? you know? at least I'm healthy! my eyelashes catch my sweat. thanks regina. I love you.

  67. N.... N....

    This music just blows me away again and again and I've heard it a bazillion times. Love love love the eff out of this!

  68. m.... g....

    If you voted thumbs down on this you are an idiot.

  69. T.... ....

    I'm getting that annoying msn one.

  70. l.... ....

    It's been 4 years and this is still my favorite song in the world

  71. M.... ....

    Vodka ad.... I see what you did Youtube.

  72. A.... C....

    That "uogh ough ough" thing she does sounds like a dolphin being molested. So I think she should really reconsider that line. -.- Otherwise it's ok.

  73. f.... ....

    How is that microphone not red?

  74. P.... ....

    I keep trying to figure out who Regina remind me of, and I realize she doesn't remind me of anyone. She is her very own person, and her songs and look are very unique. I love you Regina<3

  75. R.... M....

    3:21 "I love you"

  76. D.... N....

    Oh my god I can't believe I skipped this when listening to the playlist!!

  77. J.... F....

    Darker or lighter, Who cares?
    Mere superficiality, this isn't American Idol, it's about the music.

  78. V.... W....

    I love the way that all of her songs are unique. There is no one like Regina Spector. She proves that you can turn anything into a song. Thanks Regina!

  79. c.... ....

    Because people like Regina are not fame-obsessed. They just want to make music and let other people enjoy it, it's not about THEM.

  80. R.... N....

    I think this is better than the album version!

  81. C.... ....

    Thank you Rory Flynn, for helping me discover this amazing talent!

  82. B.... C....

    Jeez, if she gets any closer to that mic, she's going to suck it....

  83. j.... ....

    this is so unexplainably awesome... my goodness...

  84. S.... P....

    I love Spektor LIVE, so amazing!!! the live shows are even better......i love her and i love me for loving her and i love you for loving her too

  85. k.... ....

    "I love you guys"

  86. k.... ....

    Oftentimes the only way I can tell it's a live performance is if the audience is singing. It's because she doesn't edit her voice for her albums <3

  87. M.... C....

    Love you guys:)

  88. a.... ....

    What does she whisper at the end of the song? "I love you...?" who?:D or what

    a.... ....

    "I love you thanks"

  89. L.... ....

    I think she's a seal :)

  90. V.... ....

    Why Regina is not twize as famous as for example Lady gaga is beyond me :S

  91. v.... ....

    The bass on the piano is so much stronger at :43 than in the original song, wow! This is why I love listening to her live.

  92. L.... ....

    i love her

  93. t.... ....

    Saw her live twice this week and that part made me break out into the biggest smile I have smiled in months. She is just great. Love her sense of humour.

  94. I.... M....

    true that

  95. K.... ....

    Her dolphin noises always make me smile~ :)

  96. M.... C....

    Proud that she is originally from Russia:) love her

  97. D.... A....

    Extremely talented girl as are so many Russian/Ukraine musicians Refreshingly different songs which reminds me so much of the brilliant Kate Bush!!
