Maine, The - Vanilla Lyrics
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
You said I'm plain and fickle
Looks like I don't know you and you don't know me
But your lips taste so simple
Like a spoonful of vanilla flavored ice cream
My love
I know I'm not made of lace and
Lace and potpourri
But there's nobody like me
You're boring, face it
At your best you're still basic
I'm lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
Don't ever, don't ever, don't you dare ever call me vanilla
I'm a mixture of water and bone
Not a clone or a stepping stone
See I am a lot of things
But I can assure you I'm not what it is they say i am
Not lace nor potpourri
(Nobody like me)
You're boring, face it
At your best you're still basic
You're everything I hate about our youth
I'm lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
Don't ever, don't ever, don't you dare ever call me
So what's the matter
Pretty, pretty
Really is a pity
Your flavor of choice
I know that this may be a whisper
But it's just our voice
And it says, and it says, oh it says, yeah it says
You're boring, so just face it
At your best, oh, you're still faceless
Yeah, you're everything I hate about our youth
(Oh, oh
Oh, oh)
I am lost and hysteric
Anything but generic
And I never, I never, I never want to be called vanilla
No, no
(Oh, oh
Oh, oh)
Don't you call me vanilla
No, no, no
(Oh, oh
Oh, oh)

Maine, The Vanilla Comments
put this back on spotify or i am calling the police
All I can hear in the intro is “FATE FELL SHORT THIS TIME, YOUR SMILE FADES IN THE SUMMER, PLACE YOUR HAND IN MINE I’LL LEAVE WHEN I WANNA”
LOVE IT!
how can someone dislike this song wth
vanilla is my favorite track!!
I would die listening to this live.
I love this song but everytime I hear it, it makes me so emotional. Like I love it and hate >.<
i wasnt too hooked on Forever Halloween until the deluxes came out holy cow so gooooood!!!
+thehayleysofar the deluxes really did improve upon the songs amazingly :)
@Aurang Shahzad for sure!
thats funny because from the first listen Forever Halloween was always my favourite xD
THIS SONG IS SOOOO UNDERRATED !!!!
Best song of The Maine*-*
I love this song but I don't really know the meaning, does anyone have an interpretation?
They don't want to be like everyone else and basically they're sick of how everyone tries to be "perfect" while pretending to be unique. Yet they're doing exactly what everyone else is.
A good interpretation would be my ex, which is why I like this song so much :)
i love the maine. every song means something special. they're so amazing!! i relate to the songs so much! no words to explain how beautiful their music is.
"Lost and hysteric, anything but generic"~
please come to hungary someday? :c
Come to Singapore again please :(
Can't believe I just missed out on seeing you guys live in Ireland!! Your music just hits all the right spots, come back soon!
you guys are better than the other bands

@The Maine See you next year then! Mexico loves you guys! <3
+The Maine So now there is a new record, but there is not México dates yet. C'mon guys, it's been a long :-(
Definitely has a Kings of Leon feel to it, don't crucify me, that's meant as a compliment.
Don't be afraid of people. I agree. Vanilla is way powerful. Truly love it.
Where has this band been all my life! :-D
Vanilla is such a sweet song aw
ice cave's my favorite. when I first heard you guys play it without it being an official song, I knew I'd love it the moment it came out and I do.
Words will never be able to explain how awesome this band is to me.
Simply beautiful well done The Maine
My favorite :)
Man what a great song!!! The Maine are fucking awesome

One of the best albums of 2014 imo.
This song provokes so many good feelings. Definitely one of their best!
I love you guys so much❤️
Please never stop making music <3
I love you guys so much. I get so touched every time by your lyrics .
awesome song!
Dude, I can't even contain myself when I listen to The Maine. Whether the songs are old or new like this one, every single song has a meaning to it. I've listened to them since they first became a band and.. every album is so meaningful, they were literally the soundtrack to my life. Every album--every new chapter in my life. They mean so soo much to me, sometimes words can not even begin to describe their significance. Too Beautiful.
I agree. So glad there is others like yourself who give this band true beauty. Much love, homie.
This.Is.Music!!!! Feelsss
same. I discovered them before CSWS came out and ive been growing with them this whole time
You sound like the most interesting, wonderfully beautiful girl I've ever had the pleasure of hearing the thoughts of ❤️🌸
I don't understand how a band can get better with every new music production, you guys blow me away, see you in October!
If only you could have sex with songs omg
it would be vanilla
I love this song so much! I'm so glad they put all of them on youtube <3
This song is amazing.
This song is so amazing! It's the first song I've really related to on a personal level in a while. This is probably my favorite chorus The Maine has ever released!
I love all the songs. I don't think I can choose a favourite
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
This is my favorite<3
Love it <3
GREAT SONG
