It only takes one week to fall out of love
With a woman like me, for a man like you
It only takes one look to catch a stranger's eye
And imagine a life, flashing colours while I'm blue
[Chorus: Holly Macve]
I'll sit back in my suburban house
While the nights close in and the leaves turn brown
I'm not waiting for what you think I am
I know love comes and goes, love comes and goes
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey]
It only takes one turn to see a clear open road
Pretty white mountaintops, so many places to call home
I'm only just behind, but I'm already out of view
You always said snow looked so perfect whеn it's untouched and new
[Chorus: Holly Macve & Lana Del Rey]
I'll sit back in my suburban house
No whitе picket fence is gonna save me now
I'm not waiting, I know you've made your mind
And love comes and goes, love comes and goes
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Holly Macve:
I sometimes feel my intuition wrote this song for me. I was temporarily living in a suburban house from the ‘50s, on the outskirts of west London. It was like a time capsule and hadn’t been changed since the '70s. There was a beautiful old piano there and one day I sat down and the song came to me unexpectedly all at once. The song made perfect sense to me only a week later.
Lana Del Rey:
Ever since I heard Holly’s music I knew she had one of the most beautiful singing voices in the world. Her flawless, emotional vocals have inspired me over the last six years and I love her songs and I’m especially proud of featuring on this one.

A few months later I visited Lana whilst in LA and we shared new songs with each other. I played this to her live and that was the start of it becoming a duet. When I first heard her sing the second verse, it was like a dream—her voice was just so perfect for the song and heavenly sounding. It goes without saying that I’m a huge fan of hers. She’s an inspiration to me in many different ways, so when she DM’d me I was pretty shook, to say the least.
