Dear Julien Lyrics

[Intro]
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

[Chorus]
Dear Julien, don't make it hard
I wonder, did you read the letter that I sent you?
Oh, oh oh
Why do we have to go
Living in a cave of snow?
I didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart at all

[Verse 1]
Smells like daffodils, feels like winter
It feels like winter
You got through to me delicately, yeah
Just a splinter
But why do we have to go, why do we have to go?
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Dear Julien, don't make it hard
I wonder, did you read the letter that I sent you?
Oh, oh oh
Why do we have to go
Living in a cave of snow?
I didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart at all

[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
Looks like love but it feels like lying
Feels like lying
You've got through to me, definitely
No denying
But why do we have to go, why do we have to go?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Why do we have to go
Living in a cave of snow?

[Chorus]
Dear Julien, don't make it hard
I wonder, did you read the letter that I sent you?
Oh, oh oh
Why do we have to go?
Living in a cave of snow
I didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart at all

[Post-Chorus]
Oh no, I'll be sorry
[Bridge]
One more day and I'll be sorry
Two more days and you'll be sorry
Three more days and we'll be sorry
Really, really sorry
One more day and I'll be sorry
Two more days and you'll be sorry
Three more days and we'll be sorry
Really, really sorry
One more day and I'll be sorry
Two more days and you'll be sorry
Three more days and we'll be sorry
Really, really sorry
One more day and I'll be sorry
Two more days and you'll be sorry
Three more days and we'll be sorry
Really, really sorry

[Chorus]
Dear Julien, don't make it hard
I wonder, did you read the letter that I sent you?
Oh, oh oh
Why do we have to go?
Living in a cave of snow
I didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart
Didn't have the heart at all
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

[Outro]
I'm really, really sorry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Dear Julien is an unreleased song by Carly Rae Jepsen. It was intended to appear on her original planned second studio album, Curiosity.

The Curiosity album was scrapped and reformatted into an EP instead, with Dear Julien being one of five cut tracks.

The similarity in title between Dear Julien and Carly’s 2019 song Julien is not a coincidence – both songs are about the same person.

The song was performed live in late 2011, and a snippet of the studio version surfaced in 2014.
