Just A Lover (Lyrics)
Love is not a friend it's not a brother
Love is not a wendy-moira-mother
Love had turned me into many others
Now I guess I'm just
Just a lover
Once upon a time when we were school kids
Mix cds and carpool kids
No little cameras to witness
Really hope we don't wreck this
When you coming over?
Just a lover.
Space and time
Waking hours before I
Open my eyes
In the morning
I feel my
heart crack open
One last chorus
I’m singin into
empty glasses.
No more music for the masses.
One more hour
One more ugly, stillborn cry
I know exactly what this is
Or whatever it was

The layered vocals at the end it's like her old self and her current self are singing together
omg that’s such a nice interpretation
I 1000% agree
Now it’ll gets me more emotional when listening to this song 😭🥺 gives real chill ❤️
I miss those old times 😪
CHILLS. 😭🙌
the grammys bettter remember this when it's time for nods
I was thinking the same thing! She didn't get a nomination but she didn't care. She didn't even submit her work herself to grammy committee. Sadly, atlantic records has the last laugh. They told us this when they wanted Paramore to be just Hayley. They knew this early on.
yes fucking right
@@nicolebrown5987 Her life with Paramore family made this possible. If she would have went solo, we may have never had the chance to see such depth.
@@pets4489 wise words my friend
Tosin Agbi, heh, heh. 😏
"No more music for the masses" hit me hard
scary
I listened to this on spotify and immediately came here after hearing that line. Making sure I didnt mishear anything.
Dude... is this a premonition...
"One more chorus"...
@@psalm8306 how is one more chorus a “premonition” just asking haha i don’t really get it
@@psalm8306 what do you mean
Nvm I think I was just paranoid last night. Haha.
Notice how in Petals for Armor, the final song Crystal Clear repeated the phrase “friends or lovers?” Now the final song of Flowers for Vases is called “Just a Lover”. Like she’s answering the question. My heart is broken... Love you Hayley
thank you yes Hayley is amazing
So confirmed that her and Taylor are dating?
@@AA_Nights WAIT , WHATTTTT??
@@AA_Nights Jesus Christ, ya'll act like taylor is the one and only guy that she's friends with.
You think she’s talking about Taylor?
THIS WAS THE PERFECT CLOSURE.
The whole album was so intimate and vulnerable, it almost felt like we weren't supposed to listen to it. But she let us in, and I will always appreciate that. This was beyond beautiful
I heard she said she initially didn’t plan to release any of these songs at all and they were just written cathartically but then you know...quarantine. lol she decided later to release them.
2:06 HOLY FUCK PARAMORE OLD SONGS VIBES
Hahaha yeahhh
Yeah I get RIOT vibes from that
yesss 😭
Yes
Miler, I agree.
this is my main character at the end of an indie coming of age film song
It'll be awesome to watch it
I just finished the whole album and Hayley, if you're reading this, this is incredible. not a single song I didn't like. absolutely beautiful. I'm so proud to have been your fan since Paramore started and to see all of this amazing growth. you did it. you made it here. I'm so so excited to see what comes next.
Same! I think it's the first time i love every song on an album! (Got to admit i didn't like some songs on petals for armor 😞 but i still listen to it on repeat)
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I swear... Zac probably stood up so fast when he heard those drums. I know I did.
I love that she explained this album is a “prequel” to petals for armor. Here in flowers for vases, she’s vulnerable and at the beginning of her downfall, and petals was more of accepting the hurt and loss and finally realizing her worth as an artist, a woman, a person 😭
I always looked into the album titles to infer that.
When you get a bouquet they're there for aesthetic beauty, which could feel superficial in the sense you had to cut the flower and put it in your home to appreacate it's beauty, you couldn't appreciate it's life enough to watch it grow outside in nature. Now you get to watch the cut flowers slowly wither, and lose their petals one by one.
Petals for armor, is taking all the grief, abuse and darker moments and using them to biuld herself back up. It is about not letting her truama dictate how she should feel, but using those darker memories to know what she needs in life, and growing past them as lessons learned for the future.
What? What kind of loss is she accepting in PFA? These songs are no longer about Chad. It's more about the fact that she fell in love with Taylor (Sudden Desire), but she didn't want to desire this person cuz it might hurt her, them, or be dangerous (like for their friendship). Whole FFV is connected to Why We Ever, cuz Hayley herself said she had sabotaged promising relationship cuz of her previous experiences, trauma or simply fear. FFV is mostly about Taylor&Hayley's break-up, the songs are sad, but even from them you could sense that she really loves the person she sings about. Then, like Hayley said she had to really work on herself & her relation with love, and then we have whole PFA (part III) Hayley chooses love over fear and is back with Taylor in a deep, healthy and loving relationship.
It just sounds like she found herself with this song
This sounds like an old Paramore demo from 2005 and I love it
Omg so true
@MS 92 why bother tho
@MS 92 huh
@MS 92 What's cringy about loving something?
@MS 92 omg RELAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I really hope that she belts that final verse in her live versions. I can hear it in the background, but I wish it would really stand out, and I'm sure on stage would be a perfect place to bring that out.
I've missed those sort of vocals since Self Titled
If we get to see a live show! The way this is going....2022. This virus ughh. I live in New York so we have pandemic fatigue like a mofo
SHE DID THAT
yes i can't believe it either and fuck another album just wow!
She definitely did
I LOVE THE WAY IT EVOLVES THROUGHOUT THE SONG
I need this to be LONGERRRRRR
I ALMOST NEEDED TO BE GOD DAMN RESUSITATED HOLY FRICKIN CRAP THAT EVOLUTION WAS MAJESTIC
“No more music for the masses”... makes me ache even more for live shows. A beautiful album, Hayley. I can’t wait to see your talent on stage again.
The vibes are so immaculate
Going to be crying until summer it seems
Same here! And I'm actually at summer so I think I'll be crying until the next one
@@soldanisal Hayley really came for us didn’t she? Lol
Relatable
After the zane lowe interview woke up with this song in my head😭💗
THE EVOLUTIONNNN THIS IS MY FAVE OF THIS ALBUM SO FAR
Y’ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW EMOTIONAL I AM RIGHT NOW THAT TAYLEY IS CONFIRMED, I GIVES THEIR BAND NAME ‘PARAMORE’ A WHOLE NEW MEANING, SHE’S NOT A SECRET LOVER ANYMORE, BUT ‘JUST A LOVER’ !!
This song is perfect to stand in the middle of my livingroom and just exist... well the whole album is...
That last line
“I know exactly what this is…. Or whatever it was… or whatever it was”
I get goosebumps every time.
The perfect ending to a freaking master piece.
I can't stop listening to this one. I can't even describe how this song makes me feel. It's just. *gestures wildly*
When you don't even think about it and just click the like bottom without even listening to the first word
The little part at 1:08 where she says witness, gives me absolute chills. Such a beautiful voice.
THIS GUITAR.... this one is probably going to be a favorite omg
Hayley really gave us TWO beautifully written & produced albums in less than a year😭
the end gives me 90s vibes. I love it so much. holy fuck.
Perfect ending for a perfect album. Her talent god damn.
yes and i hope people listen to it like Paramore's music
It's too short and I have goosebumps everywhere.
NO MORE MUSIC FOR THE MASSES YEAH SPEAK YOUR TRUTH HAYLEY
Skin? Cleared
Depression? Gone
Jaw? On the floor
Hotel? Trivago
Ong this is gonna be 2 years ago in less than a month
Holy fuck, the transition, the lyrics, the melody. This song is like a bitter-sweet ending knowing there's a new beginning ahead
this song feels like freedom. and i think maybe that’s its intention 😊.
I don't usually comment on things but I just wanted to say thank you. I just finished listening to the whole album and only cried like twice. This album is so raw and real that it just hits on another level. It feels as if all the songs were torn from her diary and having the courage to make something so personal into something so beautiful and public, is amazing. And maybe it's just the time I'm currently at in my life that makes this album hit real hard. Either way thank you because this whole album is a work of art and I'm extremely grateful to be alive to hear it. You are truly inspiring.
thank you completely agree
Can we just talk about Hayley’s drumming skills!! Daaammmn 💯
"No more music for the masses"
Hell yessss
I don't think I have ever loved every single song on an album. This was it. I think that fact that Hayley did it all herself made it so perfect. It was just all her and it was more than enough. Thank you, Hayley.
i doubt hayley will see this, but i really hope she knows how special her music is. there’s something about this album. it’s a moment i want to keep to myself. her music makes me feel like i’m reading her diary, and sometimes feels like i’m reading my own with words and moods i never could’ve actualised on my own. not to be weird but after listening to this album it made me wish i could hug hayley and thank her for sharing her music.
also the cover art is fire lol.
just listened through the whole album. this is it. this is the one. she's an icon, she's a legend, she is the moment!! cmon now!!!
yep with you wholeheartedly
this has to be her best song since her solo debut, the evolution of the song, the layering, the deep tones, the instrumental, everything is litterally perfect i can't process it enough
Man, this song just hit different. It made me stop in my tracks, sent chills up my arms and tear down my face. Not even sure why, but I felt it in my bones.
Hayley 2020: Friends or lovers (Clear) Won't give in to the fear Friends or lovers, which will it be
Hayley 2021: Love is not a friend
Wow great thinking 😍
Where you guys hear it? 😬
2:06 Sent me to another dimension
I would like the next Paramore album to sound exactly like the rest of this song. I definitely love it!!!
i don't know why but this song (and album) unlocked some emotions i buried under for years. heartbreak and playing around with the what ifs. i didn't let me heartbreak or mourn a relationship. this album helped me. this song is on repeat because it's the release and relief of moving on for me. the instrumental change brings so much joy and makes me run down and sing to it. yet this song is so ineffable for me still. thank you hayley.
Incredible, I mean _INCREDIBLE_ album closer
The beatles: A day in life.
Queen: Bohemian rhapsody.
Hayley Williams: Just a lover.
Who stole Hayley's heart? She said "I'd never sing of love it it does not exist". now it exists presumably
I wish it was me lol
Taylor York
we all expect it to be Taylor.
Really? I never expected that tbh
I like to think it’s her. She now loves herself.
Definitely reminds me of an older paramore sound and I love it
I can’t get over how beautiful and special this album is
She will always be my favorite female singer / songwriter
I’m so happy I can be apart of this
This is one of the most purest forms of beauty I feel has ever been
Both of these albums are transcending pieces of art
And I will forever keep them close ❤️
IS THIS A RESPONSE FROM HAYLEY TO TAYLOR ABOUT THAT LITTLE PART ON CRYSTAL CLEAR!? “Friends or lovers?” I NEED TO KNOW OMGG, same final tracks, same perfect endings HERE FOR IT.
this was my thought process but at the same time I don't wanna read too much in to it cuz its gonna get exhausting on both ends if its absolutely just not true at all 😭
@@trinaloren Aghh totally get the struggle 😭
Well Hayley herself said that this is a prequel to PFA or a detour between parts 1 and 2....
Omg you're right
OMG context please!
2:03 ? um hello???? the talent is absolutely jolting
Possibly one of the greatest songs of recent history
this song makes me wanna act up, that outro is PERFECTION personified 😩
I really hope she reads this: YOU NAILED THIS SONG!
i hope so too she's a very very beautiful genius and then there's the range
2:06 now thats Hayley
Hayley figured out the perfect closer to an album, no point in anyone else even trying TBH
I dreamed of this album, and now it's a reality... I have never been happier
Hayley saw her parents separate, then her mom´s second divorce, in 2017 she went trought that same hell too, she lost friends through time -some of them under the oublic eye, specially her bandmates, causing fuzz- And still, she loves.
She recovered some of those friends, she seems to be loving herself more, and she fell in love again apparently... you just have to admire the woman, she is a big lover and a resilient queen.
PD: wasnt expecting to have a lil rock at the end
old school coldplay vibes radiating from this song. The piano and subtle guitar? simply immaculate
3 weeks before this album released. It's amazing how this song makes me feel lots of things. There's no doubt this is my favourite so far. No just from Hayley or Paramore. This is the best thing I've ever heard. It keeps me amazed that she performed absolutely everything. The vocal, the piano, the guitar and even drums.. there's nothing more left to say than just thank you. Thanks for the entire masterpiece you've created Hayley. I really appreciate it and I'm sure this is something that I'm going to keep with me forever.
Tons of love.
from just a lover 💕
this is the best song on the album periodt
Seems like Happier than ever by Billie Eilish took notes from this masterpiece ✨
She def did... and I'm proud of Hayley cause so many young talents are "learning" from her like also Olivia Rodrigo but I just wish Hayley gotten more credit for her contribution idk I feel like she's so underrated as a female singer/songwriter herself in the music industry, besides her fame as part of Paramore.
This is so beautiful. I just need to thank her for everything, because she deserves it and so much more.
Hayley 2011: In the mourning, I'll rise In the mourning, I'll let you die
Hayley 2021: Space and time waking hours before I open my eyes In the mourning I feel my heart crack open, one last chorus
chills, just the coldest of chills
If only the rest of the album was this good.
I didn't mean to listen to the whole album but here I am. On the last song. So beautiful! All of it!
"No more music for the masses" sing it loud Hayley!
I go thru pain and sufferage for thee. Inthe midst my stomach churns and my eyesswell but i still suffer for for a moment of peace with thee
I'm so obessed with the ending of this song.
"Waking hours before i open my eyes" *same*
Hayley, wow.
What an album, absolute masterpiece.
LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVES SONG from the album. 😭😭😭
3:47 AM is apparently a great time to have discovered this song 🥺
"I know exactly what it is
or whatever it was"
deceptively simple lines...
This album truly soothes my soul. Struggling with life fleeting. Please send hope.
Same. how are you feeling now?
@@adaswedentr currently, similar. but, i've had tremendous mental shifts these last 2 weeks. reprogramming my thoughts by listening to motivational speech. thanks for checking in. do you want to talk about your challenges?
Favorite song on the new project, but I'm running across more gems the more I listen to it. I'm "new" to Hayley, but sheesh she's quickly becoming one of my favorite songstresses, up there with Jenny Lewis, Florence Welch, Maggie Rogers, Karen O, etc., she's such a talent.
Okay hear me out maybe I’m just reaching here but...the in last song on PFA, Crystal Clear, the phrase “friend or lover” from Hayleys grandpas song that Taylor surprised her with repeated a few times and now this albums last song is called “just a lover” is that coincidence or does it mean what I think it means??
i was thinking the same thing
I think Just a Lover is an answer to
"Friends or lovers / Which will it be?"
from Crystal Clear - PFA
Reminds me of school. It's my senior year so I know I won't be going back. Goodbye school days and friends that I've had. Goodbye to the one I admired everyday day untill you forgot me 💙💚
I love her with a lot of my heart 💥
The piano, the arrangements, everything hits. The lyrics. The way she sings them. I'm sad that she had to go through all of that and at the same time, how courageous of her that she did and that she puts it outside like this.
Somehow this replay button never gets some rest...
OMG ISN'T THIS A MASTERPIECE OR WHAT?😍
I cry at the beginning, knowing it's her granddad's music! How sweet of Taylor, man... I'm so thankful for this art!
Isnt it Crystal Clear that is her granddads sample?
No puedo creer que este escuchando tremenda obra de arte 😍
THIS SONG IS AN AWAKENING
WOWWWWWWW SO YOU DID THAT HUH
MY FAVORITE IN THE ALBUM OFICIALLY
I hear a bit of Joni Mitchell influence in the beginning of this. The off beat, swinging vocals, and just the overall feel. Then the end reminds me a bit of KT Tunstall. Speaking of; an unlikely collaboration but one I'd love to hear!
This is one of my favorites! Thank you Hayley 💕
What an album, thank you Hayley💜
my favorite song off this album
The perfect closing track
So far I’ve found 3 favorites and this is one of themm god Hayley I lOVE YOU
