What Was That

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough, oh
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?

Great new song by Lorde, talking about a time long long ago, feelings from way back then. Feelings that are long gone, can't be attained anymore. As Pitchfork says it:

“What Was That” is the sound of a decade passing in the blink of an eye, a first gasp for air after coming up from a dive in the pool. Lorde’s always had a knack for sifting through the fleeting passions of youth, even in their midst, and her writing is as evocative and rich as ever. But with so much of the action necessarily taking place in the past tense—we kissed for hours, I remember saying, I gave you everything— (https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/lorde-what-was-that/)
