about

The song spotlights common miscommunications of dating in the modern world: hyper analyzing every move and creating made-up scenarios in your mind. A story unfolds of two superficial individuals sharing a night out, however, one is just looking for a fun night while the other believes it’s something more. With elements of pop and rock, the song takes you on a sonic adventure while showing the versatility that rivals the likes of Walk the Moon, The Killers, and 5 Seconds of Summer.

Frontman Ryan Argast said, “This song was designed to be tongue in cheek”. The unlikely pairing of the driving drums and dreamy synths echo the contrast of the characters in the song. As a listener, it sounds so obvious that this relationship would never work. The narrator starts the date off over-confident and is even judging the woman by her appearance, yet the entire chorus bluntly reveals she’s not that into him. By the bridge, our narrator believes he is head over heels in love.

lyrics

She was a trust fund baby
And fell for my pockets
I fall for those who fall for me
Guess it's a bad habit

She said she knows me
I'm lonely
She saw through my Pisces soul 
Said I'm funny
She's hungry
Asked for a place we could go

Baby, you're fine
but you won't get stuck in my mind
Maybe you're right
We could go just one more time
don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
No, Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine

Thought the hotel room was cute
She liked the blue accents
She wore a red lace jumpsuit 
I might have got attached 

She asked for a drink
I don't drink
So she drank enough for two
She said undress me
And quickly
I can't wake up next to you

Baby, you're fine
but you won't get stuck in my mind
Maybe you're right
We could go just one more time
don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
No, Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine

I don't wanna lie
I don't get lost in your eyes
I don't wanna fight
We could go just one more time
Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
No, Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine 

I’d give her the universe 
I’d give her everything
Wrap it in a Gucci purse 
Sealed with a diamond ring

Baby, you're fine
but you won't get stuck in my mind
Maybe you're right
We could go just one more time
don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
No, Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine

I don't wanna lie
I don't get lost in your eyes
I don't wanna fight
We could go just one more time
Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
No, Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine 
Don't take this the wrong way but I can't call you mine
