About Tennis Court
"Tennis Court" is a coming of age anthem, exploring the idea of a young person leaving home and coming into adulthood. Lorde reflects on the "smart" yet "boring" way people talk about the world and encourages the listener to focus on thrilling, positive pursuits and seek out adventures. She encourages them to be carefree and join her in her new art form — showing people "how little we care". The tennis court is a symbol of this newfound freedom and escapism .
Tennis Court Lyrics
[00:00.95] Don't you think that it's borin' how people talk?
[00:06.55]
[00:10.91] Makin' smart with their words again, well, I'm bored
[00:20.27] Because I'm doin' this for the thrill of it, killin' it
[00:23.62] Never not chasin' the million things I want
[00:27.87]
[00:30.99] And I am only as young as the minute is, full of it
[00:34.24] Gettin' pumped up from the little bright things I bought
[00:39.32] But I know they'll never own me (yeah)
[00:42.67] Baby, be the class clown
[00:45.59] I'll be the beauty queen in tears
[00:48.70] It's a new art form, showin' people how little we care (yeah)
[00:53.41] We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
[00:59.22] Let's go down to the tennis court
[01:01.42] And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
[01:04.30] Pretty soon I'll be gettin' on my first plane
[01:10.80]
[01:14.49] I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
[01:21.57]
[01:24.46] But my head's fillin' up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
[01:27.76] How can I fuck with the fun again when I'm known?
[01:32.80]
[01:35.14] And my boys trip me up with their heads again, lovin' them
[01:38.21] Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne
[01:43.57] But I know it's not forever (yeah)
[01:46.81] Baby, be the class clown
[01:49.62] I'll be the beauty queen in tears
[01:52.74] It's a new art form, showin' people how little we care (yeah)
[01:57.64] We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
[02:03.61] Let's go down to the tennis court
[02:05.65] And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
[02:10.58] It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)
[02:15.73] Gettin' caught's half of the trip though, isn't it? (yeah)
[02:21.36] I fall apart with all my heart (yeah)
[02:26.25] And you can watch from your window (yeah)
[02:32.20] And you can watch from your window
[02:35.02] Baby, be the class clown
[02:37.87] I'll be the beauty queen in tears
[02:40.87] It's a new art form, showin' people how little we care (yeah)
[02:45.65] We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
