Lyrics of
Norman Fucking Rockwell

Mariners Apartment Complex was written by Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff. It serves as the opening track and the first single of the album Norman Fucking Rockwell!. Lana shared that the inspiration for the song came from her personal experiences and conversations with friends, reflecting on the complex nature of relationships and self-image.

Goddamn, man-child
You fucked me so good that I almost said, "I love you"
You're fun and you're wild
But you don't know the half of the shit that you put me through

Your poetry's bad and you blame the news
But I can't change that, and I can't change your mood
Ahh ah-ah ah-ah-ah

'Cause you're just a man, it's just what you do
Your head in your hands as you color me blue
Yeah, you're just a man, all through and through
Your head in your hands as you color me blue
Goddamn, man-child
You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two
Self-loathing poet, resident Laurel Canyon know-it-all
You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you

But I don't get bored, I just see you through
Why wait for the best when I could have you?
You ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

'Cause you're just a man, it's just what you do
Your head in your hands as you color me blue
Yeah, you're just a man, all through and through
Your head in your hands as you color me blue
Blue, blue

You make me blue---, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Blue, blue, blue
