LYRICS:
Could you could you come tonight?
Instead of going under
Could you could you come tonight?
Would you think it’d be her last December?
Could it be the way she combs her hair
It must have been the day you lost to care
What if I was the answer to your prayer
Yeah you need a little candor, need a little candor
What if we last till it’s dawn like you promised me
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can’t you see we’re not opposites
Are you still up thinking of me?
I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I’ve played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll
Could you could you come tonight?
I’m counting from the thunder
Could you could you come tonight?
I got a feeling that you know the number
Could I be the best to jump ahead
Your feet are hurting less with moccasins
I never heard another comment since
Yeah you need a little splendor, need a little splendor
What if we last till it’s dawn like you promised me
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can’t you see we’re not opposites
Are you still up thinking of me?
I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it’s all the same
I’ve played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll with me
I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
In the middle of the night
Now I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
In the middle of a fight
Can’t you see the sign up on the wall
In the middle of the night
Can’t you see the sign up on the wall
In the middle of a fight
I talk to myself and it’s quite surprising
Roll with me
Let’s roll with me
Oh how I wish I could be someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you

To me, it has the joy of "It's Never Been Like That" mixed with the pop sensibility of "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" and the daring of "Bankrupt!" This is a masterclass in indie-pop songwriting.

It's interesting how the pre-chorus section has 6 measure phrases: "I played all the games / and lost almost everything / now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising", while the chorus & verses use a regular 4 measure phrase. I love the back and forth between vocalists too - great duet 😁

This is my dream collab. My fiancé just showed this to me and reminded me that when we first started dating I said something like: imagine like a «Vampire Weekend and Phoenix collaboration?» My fiancé got me a engraved "Fior di Latte" case for my Airpods. Crazy that it happened. Just please keep making gems like this. We all love it so much, and I’ve listened to you both since I was 15-16. I’m 33 now, so you guys have been around half of my life up until now, and will still be. I gotta tell you also; I’m 31 months clean and sober from alcohol- and drug addiction, and you were there for me all the time I was alone. I will never turn to drugs and alcohol again, but I will always return to your sonic wonders. Thank you so much. Edit: I edited my comment, and the heart I got from you disappeared, but that meant the world to us! ❤️

Phoenix is my favorite modern day band. I first discovered them through Wolfgang and 1901 while in college and it blew me away. I met a great person, we fell in love and she introduced me to "It's Never Been Like That." I had an amazing summer which was accompanied to "Bankrupt!" Now I hear this song and it feels like Phoenix again will be a partner to my life and that makes me very happy. I think of how this band and their music has had such a positive influence on my life and it makes me want to cry - it's why we love and cherish the bands and music we do. -

I'm in LOVE with the bridge of this song! "I talk to myself and it's quite surprising, in the middle of the night". Sometimes, that's what it takes, some processing at odd hours to help me pay attention to what I'm feeling, with the least amount of distraction possible.
