I'm what you need
I saw you on the screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starring in my dreams
In magazines
You're looking right at me
I'm here around the clock
I'm waiting on your block
But please don't call the cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna talk
Bet I could change your life
You could be my wife
Could get into a fight
I'll say, "You're right,"
And you'll kiss me goodnight
I waited on the corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the kitchen looking for something to eat
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me
I tried to save you but I failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail
While I'm away, don't read my mail
Just bring a veil
And come visit me in jail
I'll go back to the diner
I'll write another letter
I hope you'll read it this time
You better
The cops around the corner stopped me when I tried to leave
They told me I was crazy and they knocked me off my feet
They came in through the kitchen looking for something discrete
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me
It was me
I memorized your number, now I call you when I please
I tried to end it all, but now I'm back up on my feet
I saw you in the car with someone else and couldn't sleep
If something happens to him, you can bet that it was me

Hey, say what you will but she's the success of her generation. She's been racking 'em up hasn't she? So all us old farts can go pound some salt. That's probably how she'd express it if she even bothered. That's if you bother to complain, which I don't.
Each generation pursues their life, their art, their muse, as they see fit. Just like mine, ours if there are other old farts here, did. I won't harrumph. I can't, won't, be critical since it harms nobody, and certainly seems a lot of fun for what it is. Music set to her generations beat. They're just doing it their way. Wait....somewhere....I think there's a song in that one? Heh!

Well said. Personally, I’m a fan of Ms Eilish.
Just my opinion.
Calling her a musician is a crime to actual musicians. This is just laptop shite with beats. That's it. Lyrics are meaningless mumble reverb. Compare her to any random Joni Mitchell ditty.
Comments like this have been made about great musicians for hundreds of years. Have a read about how some of the greatest ever classical composers were first received and it'll make you think twice about how you respond to music. You may not like something/understand it/get it straight away - but the chances are your ears and taste are just taking time to catch up. For the rest of us, your comments are just an illuminating window on your personality.
Garbage is garbage . Just because it is popular doesn’t add any merit . It sucks
Well if we are just going to throw around mean words with no logic or intelligence behind them then I would just like to say that you, good sir, suck. Popularity may not add merit to a song necessarily, but it depends on who it is popular with. If a song is popular among musicians then the chances are that it is not just catchy but also well written. Using a colloquialism like "garbage is garbage" as your main argument is why you did poorly in English class.

This is so wrong it's almost funny. There's no such thing as "garbage" - there's just music you like, or music you respond to, and music you don't like or don't respond to.

And for those of you questioning their musicality: check out that documentary The World's a Little Blury --- yes a laptop is used, but their musical background/education/experience, imagination and perfectionism are right up there with all other "real" musicians, make no mistake about that

I respectfully disagree. I studied classical piano as a child, and was a professional pianist and keyboard player through my 20s. I'm now studing composition for a masters, and I do almost all of my writing and recording on a laptop (well, it's actually a desktop but that's not really the point). While I find her delivery a bit indistinct, in purely musical terms this is no better nor worse than any number of songs from the era when Joni Mitchell was in her pomp. Comparing any songwriter to JM is always going to be a losing strategy, since (for my money) she's the Greatest Of All Time.
Thanks for keeping me hip!
