  • Red-eye, last minute flight
    I get in early, I was roused by the light
    Back in the city, no longer my home
    Trying to let it go
    I take a walk in Hollywood
    My old apartment isn't looking too good
    Then there's a lyric that, in context, stings
    The immediate pain it brings
    That song that you used to sing

    And now I'm back on your couch, frozen peas to my head
    Driving up to your folks, cramming into your bed
    You picked me up every time, drove me back to our home
    It doesn't leave you alone

    Oh, God, I wish I could delete ya
    'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
    I replenish and repeat ya
    A heart excretes only one of us, only one

    Blue and gold Friday night
    Team up with Charlie, take these kids for a ride
    Why's my heart pounding, beating out of my chest?
    Remember to try and forget
    I'm locked, she's the key
    I'm a boat that's sinking, guess who's the sea?
    It's hard to shake it off and get back to me
    When anything is a memory
    And you repeat to the nth degree

    And now I'm back in my truck, I'm driving up to your place
    We're sitting dead on the ground, there's nothing more to be said
    You kept it tight to the chest at someone else's expense
    That doesn't sound like real love

    Oh, God, I wish I could delete ya
    'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
    I'd replenish and repeat ya
    I'd replenish and repeat ya

    I wanna know (just two weeks, how'd you cut it like that?)
    Maybe you show me how (I'm built different, I don't work like that, huh)
    I got to repeat, chew up, spit out
    The blame complex in me, me, me

    Oh, God, I wish I could delete ya
    'Cause nothin' can compete with ya
    I'd replenish and repeat ya
    One heart could beat for the two of us, two of us, two of us, oh-oh-oh
    Oh, God, I wish I could release ya
    Wind it back and never be with ya
    Then I'd be happy just to meet ya (oh, my God)
    One heart could bleed for the future us
    If we were young, but this is done Writer/s: Adam Thein, Joe Keery
