[Intro]

I grew up, you grew down, we found out

Everything matters now (Everything)

We grew up while you let yourself down

I want out


[Verse 1]

She calmed me down that night I freaked out

We stayed up, I threw up in that house

She woke up face-to-face from the bed

Two in the en-suite, one in the early

She was like eight hours ahead

Two different countries, slept in a one-piece

Baby boy in full effect

And you couldn't see me, call back, repeat

That's all thanks to poor connection

Fun for me, no

Most time, it's a pain in the neck

I said it's not that fun, see

Everything makes me wanna quit while I'm ahead

Honestly


[Chorus]

She wakes, we face-to-face from the bed

I wish I could be with her instead

When we speak face-to-face from the head

Things go wayward and I end up upset, but


[Post-Chorus]

Never had done

No, I never had

Ooh


[Verse 2]

Maybe we grew outward (Yeah)

It's true, I kept the truth to myself

Now I'm nothing but a coward (Cow-)

And you were too busy making friends

You were occupied, I was in the shower

You were unaware, I was fully clothed

And you didn't know about this

But you wouldn't even really need to know

So continue picking flowers (Mm)

Remember why you're here, my friend

You can sit back and relax

And they'll always love you now and then

They'll always love you now and then

Always love you now and then

They'll always love you

It's true


[Chorus]

She wakes, we face-to-face from the bed

I wish I could be with her instead

When we speak face-to-face from the head

Things go wayward and I end up upset


[Post-Chorus]

Let me be over there again

I wish I could be with her instead

Let me return for the night shift

I miss her like she's my only friend


[Bridge]

My only friend, 100 percent

I unplugged, then I dipped on my friends

My world got so much smaller this year

Tell me 'bout it


[Chorus]

She wakes, we face-to-face from her bed

Instead, instead, yeah

When we speak face-to-face from the head

From the head, yeah, yeah

She wakes, we face-to-face from the bed

I wish I could be with her instead

When we speak face-to-face from the head

Things go wayward and I end up upset


[Post-Chorus]

Let me be over there again

I wish I could be with her instead

Let me return for the night shift

I miss her like she's my only friend


[Outro]

I grew up, you grew down, we found out

Everything matters now

We grew up while you let yourself down

I want out
