1950 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hate it when dudes try to chase me
But I love it when you try to save me
‘Cause I'm just a lady (Ah)
I love it when we play 1950
It's so cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me
I'm surprised when you kiss me
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why my Gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong
[Chorus]
So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your
[Verse 2]
Did you mean it when you said I was pretty?
That you didn't wanna live in a city
Where the people are shitty?
I like it when we play 1950
So bold, make them know that you're with me
Stone cold, will you miss me?
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why my Gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong
[Chorus]
So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your
[Bridge]
I hope that you're happy with me in your life
I hope that you won't slip away in the night
I hope that you're happy with me in your life
I hope that you won't slip away
I hate it when dudes try to chase me
I love it when you try to save me
‘Cause I'm just a lady
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me why my Gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong
[Chorus]
So, (So), so I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
(For your love, for your love) For
(For your love) you
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your

Queer love was only able to exist privately for a long time, expressed in society through coded art forms. I wrote this song as a story of unrequited love in my own life, doing my best to acknowledge and pay homage to that part o...
What inspired this song?
The light bulb went off when I was in the shower. I was humming that melody ,and I kind of raced out of the shower. I was like, “Oh fuck!” I picked up a guitar and went back and recorded on my phone. I sat down with it and was like, “Oh shit, this is good.” I wrote down those lines, just kind of cam...
Is this song about a real person?
Of course it’s about a real person. Could you imagine me pulling this out of my ass and never felt this way? That’d be iconic.
