Lyrics of Hampstead — Ariana Grande
Album: eternal sunshine (deluxe)
The text is a conversation between two characters who are both trying to find their place in a pub in Hampstead. The first character, who left their heart at the pub, misplaced their mind and saved them more heartache. The second character, who is still the same but entirely different, is unsure of their identity and wonders why they are constantly on their partner's mind. The text ends with the protagonist expressing their desire to be seen and alive, rather than drowning in a crowded room. The characters' feelings and thoughts are intertwined and evoke strong emotions.
Hampstead Lyrics
Hampstead by Ariana Grande
And I misplaced my mind in a good way
Threw away my reputation, but saved us more heartache
Yes, I know it seems fucked up and you're right
But quite frankly, you’re still wrong about everything
So far off, your seat's nowhere near the table
But I find something sweet in your peculiar behavior
'Cause I think to be so dumb must be nice
I do, I do, I do, I do
[Pre-Chorus]
What makes you think you’re even invited?
The doors are closed with lights off inside, and all the while
Therе's no one home, you're still outsidе
I wonder why
[Chorus]
What's wrong with a little bit of poison? Tell me
I would rather feel everything than nothing every time
Uh-uh, fear me, stranger
A little bit of sugar, danger
I'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
I do, I do, I do, I do
[Verse 2]
I don't remember too much of the last year
But I knew who I was when I got here
'Cause I'm still the same but only entirely different
And my lover’s just some lines in some songs
(Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm)
[Pre-Chorus]
You think you’ve read the book I'm still writing
I can’t imagine wanting so badly to be right
Guess I'm forever on your mind
I wonder why
[Chorus]
What's wrong with a little bit of poison? Tell me (Tell me)
I would rather feel everything than nothing every time (Every, every time)
Uh-uh, fear me, stranger (Stranger)
A little bit of sugar (Sugar), danger (Danger)
I'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
[Outro]
Rather be swimming with you than drowning in a crowded room
I do, I do, I do, I do
