  • Something's in the

    Something's in the air right now
    Like I'm losin' track of time (time, time)
    Like I don't really care right now
    But maybe that's fine
    You weren't even there that day
    I was waitin' on you (you, you)
    I wondered if you were aware that day
    Was the last straw for me and I knew (knew)

    I sent you flowers
    Did you even care?
    You ran the shower
    And left them by the stairs
    Ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Thought you had your shit together

    But damn, I was wrong (wrong)
    You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (cause)
    And this ain't nothin' like it once was (was)
    I know you think you're such an outlaw, yeah
    But you got no job (job)
    You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (cause)
    And this ain't nothin' like it once was (was)
    I know you think you're such an outlaw
    But you got no job

    I used to think you were shy (shy)
    But maybe you just had nothin' on your mind
    Maybe you were thinkin' 'bout yourself all the time
    I used to wish you were mine (mine)
    But that was way before I realized
    Someone like you would always be so easy to find

    (So) so easy (easy)
    (So mm-mm) easy, mm-mm-mm, mm

    Gave me no flowers
    Wish I didn't care
    You'd be gone for hours
    Could be anywhere
    Ooh
    Ah-ah-ah-ah
    Thought you would've grown eventually

    But you proved me wrong (wrong)
    You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (cause)
    And this ain't nothin' like it once was (was)
    I know you think you're such an outlaw (yeah)
    But you got no job (no job)
    You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (cause)
    And this ain't nothin' like it once was (was)
    I know you think you're such an outlaw (think you're such a lost cause)
    But you got no job

    What did I tell you?
    Don't get complacent
    It's time to face it now, now, now, now, now, now
    What did I tell you?
    Don't get complacent
    It's time to face it now, now, now, now Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell
