Sims Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish that you and I lived in The Sims
We could build a house and plant some flowers and have kids

But we're both at some trashy Halloween party downtown
And I'll probably never see you again
I wish that we lived on a VHS
I'd erase the things I said and that I'll probably say again
Hit rewind on all the times I got lost in my head

But I guess I'll never see you again
I'll probably never see you again

[Chorus]
Ooh, goddamn
I wish we would've met on another night, baby
Maybe then I wouldn't have let you leave me
Yeah, ooh, goddamn
I wish we would've met on another night, baby
In another life, baby
In another

[Post-Chorus]
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have
[Verse 2]
I wish that we met walkin' round the MoMA
Yeah, I'd say "Nice to meet you"
Instead of saying "Nice to know you"
I'd try to impress you with some bullshit 'bout Monet
At least I wouldn't be too drunk to stay
And I wouldn't have let you slip away

[Chorus]
Ooh, goddamn
I wish we would've met on another night, baby
Maybe then I wouldn't have let you leave me
Yeah, ooh, goddamn
I wish we would've met on another night, baby
In another life, baby
In another (Uh)

[Post-Chorus]
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have
[Outro]
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you
I wouldn't have let you leave me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

What did Lauv say about "Sims"?
Genius Answer

‘Sims’ for me was an important one, especially as we made a short film around that one. That was one of the ways we broke down the concept of the different characters in The One Man Boyband. Funny thing about the song—I actually don’t even know that much about the game Sims, but the whole thing about the song is wondering how you can do a situation differently. Whether it’s a romantic situation, you meet somebody at a party and choke up and you don’t say the right thing, and then they leave and you’re like, I wonder if they could have been my wife, or whatever, any situation.”
