When a flirtatious game has become all too serious for you. Dan and I wanted to re-create a sort of drunken falling over feeling in this track that my demo had baked into it because it was me playing the drums on it (and I don’t really play the drums.) I love how Dan embraces weirdness in music instead of trying to “fix” it. I think the tripping feeling is appropriate for this song in which you’re kind of exposed as caring about something more than you had let on. It captures the embarrassment and the desperation

Lyrics:
A.J., if you wanna talk
I’m not doing anything
I’m not doing anything at all
Lately, I’ve been wanting to call you
But I don’t know if you would look kindly on it because
Last time I saw you I may have been too obvious
May have been too obvious
And last time I saw you I gave up on the game a bit
Gave up on the game a bit
But you know it’s not a game to me
A.J., are you sorry at all
That we didn’t do anything
We didn’t do anything at all
Lately, I’ve been wanting to call you
But I know you won’t even pick up your phone because of
Last time I saw you I may have been too obvious
May have been too obvious
And last time I saw you I gave up on the game a bit
Gave up on the game a bit
But you know it’s not a game to me
