Call Us What We Are
(explicit)

I don’t think you want me at your party
‘Cause I can’t keep my thoughts inside my head 
I lost all ability to censor
And I’m a liability in bed

It’s not that I don’t want to come support you
I’ll just leave the present by the door
And celebrate your wonder by my lonesome
And try hard not to text you anymore
I will
Try hard not to text you anymore 

Some people make you feel better in the long run
Some people make your heart shine
I don’t think there’s any chance you’re lighting me up 
So I’m just gonna call us what we are 
I’m just gonna call us what we are 
Fucked 

Maybe I’ll just peek in through your window
'Cause someone’s burning popcorn on the stove 
Is that my scrunchy holding back her pony
I kinda wanna pull it but I won’t 
It’s not that I am jealous of your new flame
It’s just that she looks eerily like you
Do you keep your eyes open when you kiss her
Twinning is beginning to be cool
I guess
Twinning is beginning to be cool

Some people make you feel better in the long run
Some people make your heart shine
I don’t think there’s any chance you’re lighting me up 
So I’m just gonna call us what we are 
I’m just gonna call us what we are 
Fucked 

Done distant going off the rails
(You’re being a little dramatic)
Bored bitter biting off my nails
(Call your therapist) 
Losers and bruisers 
And doomed from the start
I’m just gonna call us what we are 
(It’s time for a restraining order)

I don’t think you want me at your party
'Cause I will put my finger in your cake
I’ll binge and purge and save the rest for later
And throw up all the memories we made
Make lemons out of fuckin’ lemonade

Some people make you feel better in the long run
Some people make your heart shine
I don’t think there’s any chance you’re lighting me up 
So I’m just gonna call us what we are 
I’m just gonna call us what we are 
I’m just gonna call us what we are 
Fucked
Fucked
Fucked
Fucked
