Theme[]

This is the last song on the album, and it’s 100% meant to be when the credits come on the screen. I wanted this whole album to feel like a movie or like a movie soundtrack, because that’s something I really, really want to do. It’s almost reminiscent to “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story, like something super sweet and cheeky and cute. I co-wrote this one with Matty Healy, too. I wrote the verses, and he showed me his chorus idea. I was like, ‘What do you mean by it?’ He said, ‘You know what? I don’t know, but it’s really fun.’ It was like, ‘Okay, go with it. It doesn’t really matter what’s illegal in California. It could be anything.’

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Catch the rain even on a sunny day
I swear I'm not excusing, I'll cross my heart to prove it
But she seems tired 'cause we've been through this

[Chorus]
And I know you said that we're not a thing
But you're here that's the thing
And I'm not trying to give you a ring
Well maybe on the phone if you let it sing
You're overcomplicating everything
When the lights go down don't say I didn't warn ya
I don’t think that's legal in the state of California

[Verse 2]
I've got you wrapped around my finger like a piece of ribbon
You just won't admit it that you're smitten
Hold on a minute, please, won't you listen
'Cause I'm not sure if you're into me like I'm into you
I said a lot of stupid things in the winter once the ice got thinner
But somehow we managed through the fall
So I guess it's not that bad at all

[Chorus]
That we're not a thing
But you're here that's the thing
And I'm not trying to give you a ring
Well maybe on the phone if you let it sing
You're overcomplicating everything
When the lights go down don't say I didn't warn ya
I don’t think that's legal in the state of California

[Bridge]
I'm going away
Did I forget to mention how long I'd stay?
Is that a question for another day?
But while we're away

[Chorus]
And I know you said that we're not a thing
But you're here that's the thing
And I'm not trying to give you a ring
Well maybe on the phone if you let it sing
You're overcomplicating everything
When the lights go down don't say I didn't warn ya
I don’t think that's legal in the state of California
