Rendezvous Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blue, blue, blue
Bluer than the night
You can change the colour of your pretty eyes
But I, I, I
I have seen the clues
Leaving something dirty on me, like tattoos

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do I have to keep you safe and warm tonight?
Didn't no one ever teach you wrong from right?
I don't wanna be something objectified

[Chorus]
Listen, baby, it's you
(How you gonna keep afloat?)
Baby, it's true
(Water's rising, gonna choke)
Now I think you're losing something critical
Maybe our love is just a physical rendezvous

[Verse 2]
Shade, shade, shade
Shading in the lines
I'm just staying steady whilst you're in disguise
Buy, buy, buy
Buy some extra time
You can fool the world before they realise

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't wanna be something objectified

[Chorus]
Listen, baby, it's you
(How you gonna keep afloat?)
Baby, it's true
(Water's rising, gonna choke)
Now I think you're losing something critical
Maybe our love is just a physical rendezvous

[Bridge]
Ooh
So be a man, and take my sympathy for granted
Just take it, just take it, oh
Ooh
Now wash your hands of all the little lies you planted
Just take it, just take it, oh

[Interlude]
As I remember, you told me the first time
I was just your rendezvous
Oh, no

[Chorus]
Listen, baby, it's you
(How you gonna keep afloat?)
Baby, it's true
(Water's rising, gonna choke)
Now I think you're losing something critical
Maybe our love is just a physical rendezvous
(How you gonna keep afloat?)
Baby, it's true
(Water's rising, gonna choke)
Now I think you're losing something critical
Maybe our love is just a physical rendezvous

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“Rendezvous” is the sixth track from the album and one of two songs collectively written by all three members of Years & Years, including Olly Alexander. The song shouts out to a guy who Olly had a physical relationship with rather than an emotional one and wonders how he is ever going to move on from what they had, when Olly knows that what he is doing is the right thing. He elaborates on the person, saying how he may look fun and innocent on the outside, but behind closed doors, he is a completely different person. Olly also cries out to this person hoping that he can change and see that hopefully what he did was the right thing for him too.
