Don't be afraid of me
I'm what you need

I saw you on the screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starring in my dreams
In magazines
You're looking right at me

I'm here around the clock
I'm waiting on your block
But please don't call the cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna talk

Bet I could change your life
You could be my wife
Could get into a fight
I'll say, "You're right,"
And you'll kiss me goodnight

I waited on the corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the kitchen looking for something to eat
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me

I tried to save you but I failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail
While I'm away, don't read my mail
Just bring a veil
And come visit me in jail

I'll go back to the diner
I'll write another letter
I hope you'll read it this time
You better

The cops around the corner stopped me when I tried to leave
They told me I was crazy and they knocked me off my feet
They came in through the kitchen looking for something discrete
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me

It was me

I memorized your number, now I call you when I please
I tried to end it all, but now I'm back up on my feet
I saw you in the car with someone else and couldn't sleep
If something happens to him, you can bet that it was me

Haven't heard the new album fully yet and was like "Damn, I like this sound. Sounds very Billie Eilish Inspired"
*Opens Radio Paradise to check who made this song*
"Well I'll be damned"

Anyways, Banger. Easy 9

Well said.  Personally, I’m a fan of Ms Eilish.

It'a a very wild, funky, trippy vibe she has going on here, and I must admit, it's quite addictive. Good for her!

1/4 of ratings are < 6. I was with them until the album became one of my favorites.

I think she's very talented and a pretty good songwriter. But her stuff is not very radio-friendly. She's either whispering her lyrics or has  too many effects on her voice and most of her lyrics are incomprehensible. 
Just my opinion.

Comments like this have been made about great musicians for hundreds of years. Have a read about how some of the greatest ever classical composers were first received and it'll make you think twice about how you respond to music. You may not like something/understand it/get it straight away - but the chances are your ears and taste are just taking time to catch up. For the rest of us, your comments are just an illuminating window on your personality.

Well if we are just going to throw around mean words with no logic or intelligence behind them then I would just like to say that you, good sir, suck. Popularity may not add merit to a song necessarily, but it depends on who it is popular with. If a song is popular among musicians then the chances are that it is not just catchy but also well written. Using a colloquialism like "garbage is garbage" as your main argument is why you did poorly in English class.

I have become a fan of the album. For me, there's sonic variety and lyrical depth.

This is so wrong it's almost funny.  There's no such thing as "garbage" - there's just music you like, or music you respond to, and music you don't like or don't respond to.

thought with this album my interest in sis and bro Eilish was flying out the window for lack of dynamics, but now every time it comes on I find it's growing on me, at least this song is..... Once again we will see where this goes

And for those of you questioning their musicality: check out that documentary The World's a Little Blury --- yes a laptop is used, but their musical background/education/experience, imagination and perfectionism are right up there with all other "real" musicians, make no mistake about that

I respectfully disagree.  I studied classical piano as a child, and was a professional pianist and keyboard player through my 20s.  I'm now studing composition for a masters, and I do almost all of my writing and recording on a laptop (well, it's actually a desktop but that's not really the point).  While I find her delivery a bit indistinct, in purely musical terms this is no better nor worse than any number of songs from the era when Joni Mitchell was in her pomp.  Comparing any songwriter to JM is always going to be a losing strategy, since (for my money) she's the Greatest Of All Time.

It's very interesting how they've worked in built in fan promo stuff to the song itself.  Gotta give Billie and her brother Finneas credit for that one.  Evidently the phone number at the end of the song when dialed is answered by a recording and when entered into WhatsApp will enable them to send further promo stuff to their fans.  Crafty...

So, The more I hear of the Eilish kids, the more I like. The Vocoder stuff gets old until you Listen to it as another instrument instead of Lyrics sung electronically.
Thanks for keeping me hip!
