From The Start Lyrics

[Verse 1: Laufey]
Don't you notice how
I get quiet when there's no one else around?
Me and you and awkward silence
Don't you dare look at me that way
I don't need reminders of how you don't feel the same

[Verse 2: Laufey]
Oh the burning pain
Listening to you harp on about some new soulmate
She's so perfect, blah, blah
Oh how I wish you'll wake up one day
Run to me, confess your love
At least just let me say

[Chorus: Laufey]
That when I talk to you
Oh Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don't you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start

[Verse 3: Laufey]
What's a girl to do?
Lying on my bed staring into the bluе
Unrequited, terrifying
Lovе is driving me a bit insane
Have to get this off my chest
I'm telling you today

[Chorus: Laufey]
That when I talk to you
Oh Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don't you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start

[Outro: Laufey]
Confess I loved you
Just thinking of you
I know I've loved you from the start

From The Start Song Meaning

"From the Start" by Laufey is the 10th track from her 2023 album Bewitched, a mesmerizing blend of jazz and pop that showcases her signature velvety vocals and nostalgic charm. The Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter, known for reviving jazz for modern audiences, crafts a bittersweet tale of longing, wrapped in bossa nova rhythms and playful lyricism. In her own words, the song is "the ultimate friends-to-lovers anthem for all your delusional daydreams," capturing the ache of loving someone who doesn’t feel the same.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of unspoken affection and quiet desperation. Lines like "Listening to you harp on ’bout some new soulmate / 'She’s so perfect,' blah, blah, blah" blend humor with heartbreak, while the chorus—"Oh, Cupid walks right through / And shoots an arrow through my heart"—turns classic romance tropes into a relatable confession. Laufey’s delivery, swinging between wistful and whimsical, makes the pain of unrequited love feel both timeless and fresh. The song’s bossa nova groove and scatting interludes pay homage to jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald, yet its witty, modern lyrics keep it grounded in today’s dating dilemmas.

A standout in Bewitched, "From the Start" balances vulnerability with a lighthearted touch, proving Laufey’s knack for turning personal heartache into universal art. Whether you’ve pined in silence or daydreamed about a love confession, this track captures the dizzying highs and lows of one-sided romance—with a melody that lingers long after the last note fades.
