Lyrics
I'm sorry I bailed on your show and cried in the car instead
I apologize for not attending your performance and instead cried in the car.
I know the dangers of living in this place are all in my head
I am aware that the perceived dangers of living in this place are all in my mind.
I've been sleeping in the backs of cars
I have been sleeping in the back seats of cars.
Cockeyed and awkward arms
My posture is awkward and off-kilter in the back seat.
Fuck, baby, I got your flowers
Expressing frustration, acknowledging receiving flowers from a partner.
Now will you let me stay, just for an hour?
Requesting permission to stay for a short duration after receiving flowers.
Did you know you're such a tease?
Acknowledging the partner's teasing nature.
Booze beige bruises on my knees
Describing bruises on knees, possibly from physical activities or encounters.
Could've told you to set the house on fire
Suggesting a hypothetical scenario where setting the house on fire wouldn't bother the speaker.
And I wouldn't have minded
Expressing a lack of concern or objection to a drastic action.
A moment like that could've set the house on fire
Reflecting on a moment that could have ignited passion or chaos.
And I wouldn't have minded
Reiterating the lack of objection to a potentially fiery scenario.
I've been sleeping in the backs of cars
Repeating the experience of sleeping in car back seats.
Cockeyed and awkward arms
Reiterating the awkward and crooked posture in the back seat.
Fuck, baby, I got your flowers

Since when did we all start talking like adults?
Reflecting on when conversations took on a more mature tone.
Made a thousand wishes, but when I opened my eyes, it was 11:12
Expressing disappointment as wishes remain unfulfilled at 11:12.
If I say no now, I'll ache the whole way home
Choosing not to refuse, as it would cause emotional pain throughout the journey home.
Just want someone to tell me that what I'm doing isn't wrong
Desiring reassurance that current actions are not morally wrong.
I've been dreaming about the back of your car
Dreaming about the back of a car, possibly a place of emotional significance.
Ignoring what it was like in your arms
Ignoring the memory of being in the partner's arms.
Fuck, baby, don't send me flowers
Rejecting the idea of receiving flowers from the partner.
I'm coming round, I'll be there in an hour
Committing to coming over in an hour despite rejecting the flowers.
I've been sleeping in the backs of cars
