Billie Eilish, Watch & Burn (live), San Francisco, May 29, 2019 (4K)

Billie Eilish plays "Watch / &Burn" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the Bill Graham Civic Center in San Francisco, California on May 29, 2019. She starts the song with a brief snippet from Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" from 1998, which sampled the song "It's The Hard Knock Life" from the movie Annie (1977). Joining her onstage tonight were her brother, Finneas O'Connell (bass and keyboard), and Andrew Marshall (drums). "Watch" was originally released on the Don't Smile At Me EP in 2017. It was later remixed as "&Burn" with Vince Staples joining on vocals.

In next month's issue, Rolling Stone magazine calls Billie Eilish "the first invader from the next generation of pop masterminds, rewriting the playbook for how it’s done. She’s the rebel who has bypassed songwriting camps and superproducers to make her own eccentric songs with her brother. . . . What makes her a truly great pop artist is that she’s too ambitious to stop there. This girl wants the world, and she wants it now."

Lyrics:

Lips meet teeth and tongue
My heart skips eight beats at once
If we were meant to be, we would have been by now
See what you wanna see, but all I see is him right now

I'll sit and watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Go ahead and watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out

Your love feels so fake
And my demands aren't high to make
If I could get to sleep, I would have slept by now
Your lies will never keep, I think you need to blow 'em out

I'll sit and watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Go ahead and watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out

When you call my name
Do you think I'll come runnin'?
You never did the same
So good at givin' me nothin'
When you close your eyes, do you picture me?
When you fantasize, am I your fantasy?
Now you know
Now I'm free

I'll sit and watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out

Never let you back
Let you back, let you back
Never gonna let you back
Let you back


Written by Finneas O'Connell
