Song Lyrics

Here are the full lyrics to “Margaret” by Lana Del Rey, featuring Bleachers, from her 2023 album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd:

[Verse 1: Lana Del Rey]
This is a simple song, gonna write it for a friend
My shirt is inside out, I’m messy with the pen
He met Margaret on a rooftop, she was wearin’ white
And he was like, “I might be in trouble”

[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey]
He had flashes of the good life, he was like
“Should I jump off this building now or do it on the double?”
‘Cause baby, if your love is in trouble

[Chorus: Lana Del Rey & Bleachers]
Baby, if your love is in trouble
Baby, if your love is in trouble
If your love is in trouble
If your love is in trouble
Go on, I dare you
One, two, three

[Verse 3: Lana Del Rey]
When you know, you know
When you know, you know
It’s time, it’s time to go
When you know, you know
When you know, you know

[Bridge: Lana Del Rey & Bleachers]
I mean, that’s what they say
When you know, you know
When you know, you know

[Outro: Lana Del Rey & Bleachers]
You’re there
You’re there

Review:

“Margaret” showcases Lana Del Rey’s poetic lyricism and hauntingly beautiful vocals. The collaboration with Bleachers adds depth to the song’s narrative, paying homage to Jack Antonoff’s wife, Margaret Qualley. It’s a heartfelt melody that intertwines love and artistic expression. The lines”When you know, you know” give a sense of security of love and capture the feeling one gets when someone finds “the one.” The song comes in a rom-com narrative form, making it resonating. But if you are someone who likes upbeat songs, then the song might not be for you.

Video Expectations:

A visual video could depict Margaret Qualley dancing in a serene, open meadow, under a golden-hour sky, mirroring the song’s ethereal mood. Although there is no video out yet, this is how fans envision it to be.

Any Views by Singer-Actor-Songwriter:

Lana Del Rey described “Margaret” as a deeply personal and celebratory piece, crafted with admiration for the love story between Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. Antonoff’s Bleachers adds an intimate touch, making the track unique among Lana’s discography.
