about

Jo initially brought the main hook and instrumental to Dia, who then came up with the melody and the party scenes described in the verses. The song tells the story of a girl who is desperately trying to figure out if she should stay in her relationship, despite knowing she'll end up leaving. She wakes up at parties she regrets, and views her love life as a party that will also be “ending next.” This song is a tongue-in-cheek anthem for wandering romantics with fragile egos.

lyrics

Db-fm-Bbm-Gb
[Verse1]
Bodies all across the floor
Dancing at the troubadour
My shoes are off
While the hands play golf.
I am bones within the crowd
And I dont know how it got this loud
But I love it here
I bought stock this year

[Pre-Chorus]
And I dont want to hold you
I don’t wanna cry
So I count to ten like I did last night
And through the tears,
It's finally clear
i love you dear

[Chorus]
I
Really wanted to be friends
But I know when all this ends
Gonna leave you for myself x2

[Verse2]
All alone by 8 am
There’s champagne in the rug again
And I hate myself
I dont need your help
Nothing’s ever been my fault
You and liquor made the call
And we’re all that’s left
But we're ending next.

[Chorus]
