- Lyrics;
He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell him again.
Maybe I'll write him a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fallen away again.
And until you calm me down
Race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny.
I will not have him treat me this way.
And Mother, I blame you.
With ever inch of the being you gave
For I have become you,
And I know every part of your game
And Father, I love you
But how can you watch as I push her away?
I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way.
Maybe I'll write them a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fallen away again.
And until you calm me down
I race around this town
until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have them treat me this way.
So tap at my window,
Maybe I might let you in.
I don't think I will though,
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again

Just found this song 3 days ago, and I swear I've listened to it at least 20 times....
the beginning reminds me so of bob dylan's 'lay lady lay' :D already love it!
My favourite song by her. ♥
knowing how young laura was when she started inspires me to think if i started now, and tried hard, hard as she tried, i could be something like what she is now. that would be just amazing.
A good artist or writer can paint an elaborate picture in your mind with their words.
My new fav song!
Such a beautiful melody.
the voice she has is very haunting
Many more people should know of her!! Thank you for sharing this bit of the lovely with us all. :)
so so so beautifuul
i love this type of music because it has so much meaning rather then trying to be like any other typical pop kind of song!
Amazing song
no problem lol i was just listening to it before i started going through all of laura's songs
She's only like 20 or 21, what a talent :)
Been trying to find out who sang this song since like forever. So glad I have because she is Amazing!
this song is gorgeous
she's been writing her songs since she was 15 and then bieber takes all the acclaim.... BUMMER !
i love this song :) thanks for posting! :)
LEGENDARY
my fav!
This song is like...a glass of water in the middle of the desert.
i love her... true story...
lovely as always
16 Laura's incredible
YESSS!!!! OMG!!!!! thankyou haha that was driving me insane for a while! :P
I think I have found my obsession for 2012
2019 how re u ?
2:36 that's her smoking a bong at the end, flicking the lighter and giggling
I think thats her opening her window.🤭
And she is a grown woman, your opinion doesn't matter. Do what thou wilt.
Lay lady lay.
the best folk
I don't think you understand how dangerous smoke can be. My mother died of cancer eight days ago, and you'd better be kinder to other people, because you never know what their feelings may be. Also, there are many pictures of Laura smoking cigarettes, so you don't need to teach me how to roll, I've seen enough of that. I would just be sorry if Laura got sick, is it so hard to understand? I hope you will never have to cry as many tears as I am crying in these days. Good night.
This is a major artist. The...sounds like Dylan critics....get lost! Dylan sounded like....many...& progressed,... brilliantly. It's Music!
dddhhhhoooohhhho Maccabees........Toothpaste Kisses ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Beautiful xxxxxxxx
@deadlymist666 oh my! her voice is in an entirely different league to Dido in terms of soul and tone, in my opinion.
@Elijah2x OMG i was listening to the intro repeatedly trying to figure it out, thinking, "i've never listened to this song before - why do i know it??"
hm...
The dylan reference is just being a singer/songwriter acoustic folkie....a little unfair on a young woman who channels her inspirations surprisingly well though.
UNCORE :D!
What a cool kid... She's just Mmmmmm
Yah it's Lay Lady Lay that was my first thought.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. SHE NEEDS TO STOP SMOKING. RIGHT NOW. RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT.
"Karl Culley, Silver Set of Bones"....aaall I'm saying!
is from 'alas i cannot swim' or 'i speak because i can'???
lay lady lay... at the begining
@Elijah2x wow i can't believe i never noticed the similarities before now.
@Alexse13 that's not true. it does fuck up your vocal chords (they become inflamed, dry and can form pollyps - not to mention the fact that it severely effects lung function which is directly related to voice) inhaling cigarette smoke through your nose paralyzes the hairs that filter the air you breath, for 24 hours), but it doesn't necessarily fuck up your "voice" depending on the sound you're looking for. personally i would love to have the "voice" of a smoker, but am too wary of the effects.
the background music reminds me of an older song by someone.... shit i duuno what one... anyone know what i mean? (especially in the begin)
Toothpaste kisses by the maccabees is what it reminds me a bit of they are both lovely songs xx
I don`t smoke ;-) but the picture is amazing (no need to discuss the song)
Lady lay lay
Isn't this Lay Lady Lay???
WHAT- this is amazing. Bet u like Justin Beiber.
does she smoke or is that just the picture? shes so fricking cool already
Lay lady lay intro?
@96marzie cannot swim, i think
Is similar to the Dido's voice :)
this song must have the biggest likes to dislike ratio on youtube
Sounds like a Bob Dylan song.
@JHDELIVERY22 that's doesn't matter, if she's 40 it would be good at the same way
@cirfia constant sing can fuck up a voice, smoke might, but i think that sideeffect of somking is the lest of any somkers concern ;)
@skipnie pun? haha
smoking is bad
The laugh at 2:42 is kind of creepy...
.Meerly a girlish giggle.
24* :]
She's 22
@cirfia Nat King Cole smoked - he believed it kept his voice dark, husky, smooth or the like... however, i think he died of lung cancer..
lay lady lay by bob dylan perhaps?
Maybe it's homage to Bob Dylan. If I put the idea of plagiarism out of my mind and think of it as a tribute then I can like it I guess. I like it, it's cool. Maybe. I don't know I'm conflicted.
So this is what luna lovegood looks like when she grows up
It is not stupid: smoking is stupid. I love Laura and what she does, belive me I adore her! But she smokes, and that makes me sad. I my heart I sometimes hope that she will give it up; so if I'm that concerned, I wouldn't describe ''stupid'' a person who wonders weather she smokes or not... besides, the picture doesn't help. The true disappontment is seeing so many people smoking and then crying and dying of cancer in 2012. Think about that, how stupid that is.
@fletchers4 I wouldn't be so harsh lol She is good though. I just wish she would stop all this self-indulgent boy girl emotional rambling and look out and not in...
In a way I wish she were more like Dylan lol
@SoIncrediblyHigh Yum, lung cancer
She smokes?? :-(
she smokes?? wont that fuck up her voice??
ugg shes much too pretty to be smoking..
