Hop Along - Waitress Lyrics






Realized I knew you from
His photo when you walked
Into the restaurant
And my heart just sunk
Your friend looked over from the bar
She must've known who I was
The worst possible version of what I'd done
As, seating couples, I tried to listen

By the time it's old
A face will have been seen
One and a half million times
One million times
I don't know why I worry
I mean, maybe she didn't recognize me

I call you enemy
'Cause I'm afraid of what you could call me
The world's gotten so small and embarrassing

By the time it's old
My face will have been seen
And I'll share a very common poverty
It's a very common kind
Common kind, common kind
It's a very common kind
It's not that I am worried
I just wish you and your friends would leave

We've long since closed now
Still, you and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
We've long closed now
Still, you and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
You and some others stick around

  6. A.... S....

    Oh my god, they are so great. I just discovered them a week or so ago and haven’t stopped listening.

  7. M.... ....

    She doesn't look like she'd have such a powerful voice

  8. M.... ....

    2:16 omfg

  9. N.... G....

    Everyone is talking about her voice (which is amazing) but her guitar skills are incredible too!

  10. A.... T....

    All I can say is F*CK! What an amazing song and flawless performance. This band deserves much more recognition than they're getting right now...

  11. D.... ....

    Damn that was good

  12. D.... A....

    God I'm gay

    D.... A....

    Des Alex lol

  13. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  14. M.... ....

    love it!!! i fell in love with you guys when i heard u on the college radio on "no dudes power hour" there's nothing like u! the vocals that seem at the edge of your limits but you never, ever miss a note, there's something so raw and amazing about it. this album and song in particular will always be special to me

  15. A.... K....

    Brilliant!

  16. r.... ....

    trop bon,la voix...juste parfait

  17. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  18. D.... 3....

    Why does dude at 0:50 look like The Hound from Game Of Thrones?

  19. s.... ....

    trying to recreate her voice and fuck me is it not going well lads she has a gift

  20. T.... S....

    Freakin´awesome!!!

  21. T.... a....

    this song is the perfect first person perspective. I didn't dig the lyrics at first but now i sort of think of the "voice" in the song along the lines of Catcher in the Rye. Getting all worked up inwardly over their own anxiety....
    i imagine her panicking at the so small and embarrasing(she kind of sounds like she's imitating someone violently bawling their eyes out and trying to sing through it) part and ending up in the bathroom for sanctuary where she screams that next part but also adjusts herself to appear normal and finish the job......
    I'm not a waitress, but that's literally me every other day..... sometimes i need a minute to rave and repeat myself, "still You and some others stick.....around. RAGE MODE."
    Chefs in the back like : the customer is al-- o nO
    "WE'VE LONG CLOSED NOW"
    And your boss is like.... i didn't realize she was insane


    Or maybe that's just me heh
    .. those last few lines could be figurative, even. But i like to think of the whole song as narrative rather than symbolic poetry.....That would make me feel like a hipster.

    Moral of the story... don't linger at fuckin restaurants waitresses and kitchen staff are people too .... You wouldn't be able to force your plumber to stay and fix the leaky roof and wire your sprinklers....

  22. T.... a....

    im really glad folk and grunge are starting a beautiful family 😗

  23. T.... a....

    my landlord is probably pretty sick of hearing this......

  24. T.... a....

    all​ grown up. The grudge years

  25. T.... a....

    she Bjorkd this one in the best possible way

  26. M.... ....

    Sometimes you come across music that's love at first listen. I just discovered this band like 30 minutes ago and I'm already in love

  27. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  28. J.... D....

    I'm in love with her

  29. A.... F....

  33. P.... ....

  34. A.... K....

    I cannot wait to see them next month in NYC, opening for Built To Spill. Hot damn!

    A.... K....

    Anna K what the fuck that sounds amazing

  35. K.... K....

    I heard this song for the first time about three months ago and I've made sure to listen to it on a daily basis and I have not got sick of it. It only gets better.

  36. S.... E....

    The way her voice switches so instantly from raw and raspy to beautifully soft is incredible. Gives me chills

  37. A.... T....

    her voice fucking sucks. had to shut it down at 28 seconds in.

    A.... T....

    +Scott Smith lmao you fucking homo. your making a big deal about a shitty band youll forget about in a year. i dont care. they suck, your gay, and you can not persuade me to think otherwise.

    A.... T....

    you'll* don't* you're*

    A.... T....

    @Austin Rice haha I bet your lesbian moms are proud of your spelling and punctuation skills. I dont wast apostrophes on little queer SJWs. Btw this band still sucks.

    A.... T....

    why are you so angry, my son?

    A.... T....

    Dearest Abe T.
    Pardon me even though I am not in appropriable acquaintance with your person/persons I have to regard the matter of you are quite a remarkable specimen, I happened to be still quite stunned by the fact that someone can fit their entire cranium up their ass. Now pardon my language but the term "ass" seemed fit for this purpose, I hope I did not hurt your feelings, I truly am quite a pacifist and now, I must take my leave and go and have the greatest love session of my life with my gay lover, Good day :)

  38. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  39. m.... ....

    Her voice is just so fucking amazing.

  40. D.... ....

    What a voice, i wanna hug it

  41. B.... J....

    Very much looking forward to seeing them with Dr. Dog in a week!

  42. s.... ....

    Weezer brought me here a while ago just thoughtd I mention it now I'm fan

  43. J.... m....

    awesome

  44. J.... T....

    her voice gives me fucking chills god damn

  45. B.... A....

    I love this song. You can hear the emotion in her voice. I love that it cracks, it gives it such a raw power. This band sounds a lot like Nirvana. Very similar voice to Kurt Cobain's, merely more feminine. Great sound. Hoping they come to Minneapolis or Chicago.

  46. D.... P....

    Love the song and in studio performance but looks like the video editor forgot there were other people in the band other than the signer and drummer. Lame.

  47. R.... /....

    this is out of this world. COngratulations guys...

  48. T.... ....

    How do they manage to sound better live than on the album? Seriously the most underrated band right now.

    T.... ....

    they dont. lol.

    T.... ....

    they do. lol.

    T.... ....

    @Alexander Salle Eklund good one

    T.... ....

    They definitely sound better live. The studio versions lack some of the rust.

  49. M.... C....

    I just want to listen to this all day. Enormous song

  50. B.... C....

    These cats are fantastic musicians and Painted Shut is a fucking masterpiece. Can't wait til they come to San Diego.

  51. T.... p....

    ahhmazingly" devastating in a good way vocals" if I want tears of joy, Frances voice brings that in an instant

  52. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  53. Q.... ....

    just found out im seeing them monday with modest mouse....HYPE!

    Q.... ....

    +Clay Black How was the show?

  54. T.... p....

    hop along is opening for modest mouse oct 22nd!!!!! and add on date, I love modest mouse and gonna bring my seasons of tv show THE OC for chaNCE that they'll sign it yet, to be honest ill be there mainly to see Hop Along, <3

  55. O.... ....

    Crazy how much this sounded like the album. It's sort of like that "simplicity is the most complex thing to design" saying. To perfectly reproduce a sound that is so raw and crazy shows just how talented this band is. Seems like they also work very well together! Really, really great performance.

  56. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Alone <3

  57. S.... S....

    This woman is awesome. Fucking powerhouse.

    And the guitar player mustache?

    Great, great, great.

  58. r.... ....

    I feel as if a squirrel has just been tortured.

  59. P.... ....

    I love you Hop Along <3

  60. R.... F....

    been listening to this non stop for a week now. so good.

    R.... F....

    +Rodrigo Feijó ME TOO

  61. Z.... R....

    how does she control that strain in her voice ffs.

  62. b.... ....

    the female ted leo :)?

  63. r.... A....

    Restored my faith in music!

  64. O.... F....

    I want to put more likes here!!! :3

  65. Y.... T....

    Love her voice

  66. J.... O....

    It's like they decided to be Rainer Maria a few years after the band broke up. Thank you!

    J.... O....

    hmmm... I never considered that comparison. Interesting.
    I played a show recently-ish with a band that sounded exactly like Rainer Maria - I was really surprised to her a band still after that sound!

  67. J.... K....

    Hello. Watched your Video! Carry on the good job

  68. J.... P....

    hermosa voz ...hermosa

  69. T.... Y....

    <3 <3 <3 <3

    T.... Y....

    Tenzin Yangchen 10 10 10

  70. R.... P....

    That literally just blew my mind

  71. g.... ....

    Over and Over Again!

  72. N.... F....

    God, I feel like I've just watched something I wasn't supposed to. Wow.

  73. D.... K....

    Fred Armisen plays guitar too huh?

    D.... K....

    @Drake Karns He actually does! If you ever watch Late Night with Seth Meyers, he plays in their studio band. But yeah, this guy does share a pretty striking resemblance.

  74. s.... f....

    Fantano brought me here. Glad he did

    s.... f....

    no country for strong tens

  75. R.... B....

    reaks my heart everytime

  76. S.... S....

    holy fuck <3

  77. O.... G....

    I've watched this video more than 20 times! Her voice is.. just amazing!

  78. C.... B....

    I really wish they had scheduled coming to Montreal during their tour this year. I'm going to try to make it to Toronto, because goddamn do I have to see these guys play live. I am literally going to drive 8 hours by myself to go see this band and then turn around and drive back in time for work. That's how much I love this fucking music.

    C.... B....

    @Spider Jerusalem Ah, it's okay, it was a good show but there'll be another time. Maybe I'll see you there.

    C.... B....

    @Daniel Callahan Gaaahh I bet it was. I hope so. 

    C.... B....

    You are in luck! 1 year later, they are playing Montreal on Oct 1st 2016 @ Club Soda.

    And since they're not playing Toronto, I'm driving up to Montreal to see them =)

    C.... B....

    @Lawrence Yeh I'll be seeing you there bud :) Club Soda's a good venue, been there many many many times so obviously there are little things that bother me, but it's very intimate and I expect they'll fill the house so it should be good. I will have found my way to the front row like I always do, so if you see a skinny white dude with really long hair up front while you're there you can ask yourself "maybe that's the guy that replied to me on youtube"

    For the record I didn't make it to that show in Toronto, so this will be my first time seeing them live and I'm incredibly excited.

    have fun!

    C.... B....

    @Harry Flashman Hey! See? You get to see them after all :) Unfortunately I can't make it all the way to Montreal, but I'll be there when they're back in Toronto. Have a good time!

  79. G.... M....

    She breaks me on the "call me kind" part. So perfect.

    G.... M....

    @***** oh, thanks! That happens a lot, I'm not american/native english speaker.

    G.... M....

    '*common kind'

  80. B.... ....

    That was amazing, I love her voice, although it was a little harsher in places here than it is on the album version of this song.

  81. M.... C....

    Love her, such a great charisma!!

  82. D.... G....

    that voice. THAT VOICE.

    D.... G....

    +Danilo Guarniero Agreed o.o

    D.... G....

    yes aweful

  83. L.... W....

    first!
    god, joe is god.
