Theme[]

These are my favourite lyrics out of the whole record, because I talk about the crows that live on top of my room and the bugs that live in my room and just going fucking insane. I had written it in the studio, but I was thinking about the time I was isolating for COVID where I literally went crazy. But it was also one of the best times in my life, because I felt like I needed that. I wanted something very playful, and PinkPantheress really suited itā€”she encapsulated the melody really well. Sheā€™s a good friend of mine. I didnā€™t realise it at the time, but listening back to this album, itā€™s very friendship-related. Itā€™s about people around me and appreciating everything. It made sense that the only collab Iā€™d have would be with a friend.

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
I paint a picture on my wall the other night again
I have a feeling that I'm losing all my oldest friends
Spend a week inside I'm tired and I think they know
Way to go
Saw a spider living in my room the other day
I asked politely if I didn't mind, I thought he'd stayed
A crow is on the roof, he peers inside, I think he knows
Then he goes

[Chorus]
I can't pretend when I'm with my closest friends
'Cause tinkerbell is super overrated

[Verse 2]
I started smoking in the mornings and stay in bed
I'm not a woman in my room Iā€™m just a girl instead
I think the bug I saw that bit you he had always known
Way to go

[Pre-Chorus]
By the way I came to tell you
My hairs turned grey and I think I grew
I'm afraid of lying in my room
I stay awake and this is the truth

[Chorus]
I can't pretend when I'm with my closest friends
'Cause tinkerbell is super overrated

[Verse 3]
I was around on Sunday night
I wish I was at home where I feel nice
Now that I lay here in my bed
I wish that I went to meet you out instead
The sky looks all red, it's fine
The rose that I had planted yesterday died, it's fine
I lost the book that I read, it's fine
And when I leave my house I will regret it 'cause I

[Pre-Chorus]
By the way I came to tell you
My hairs turned grey and I think I grew
I'm afraid of lying in my room
I stay awake and this is the truth

[Chorus]
I can't pretend when I'm with my closest friends
'Cause tinkerbell is super overrated

[Instrumental Outro]
