“Come Be Me” is a mellifluous, synth-soaked track exploring the bittersweet and confusing territory of friendship in the wake of romantic love.
[Verse]
I care about all the things you read
I stare, waiting for something to change
And I want to pretend
That I won in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels right to be right
Feels right, it's all fine
Feels right to be right
Feels right, it's all fine
[Chorus]
You and me can make it forever
'Cause I can call you up
And you can say my name
'Cause I've been talking about you
To everyone so they know we're fine
You and me can make it forever
'Cause I can call you up
And you can say my name
'Cause I've been talking about you
To everyone so they know we're fine
[Verse]
I care about all the things you read
I stare, waiting for something to change
And I want to pretend
That I won (I won)
In the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels right (Feels right)
To be right (To be right)
Feels right (Feels right)
It's all fine
Feels right (Feels right)
To be right (To be right)
Feels right (Feels right)
It's all fine (Come be me)
Feels right (Feels right)
To be right (To be right)
Feels right (Feels right)
It's all fine (Come be me)
Feels right (Feels right)
To be right (To be right)
Feels right (Feels right)
It's all fine
[Chorus]
You and me can make it forever
'Cause I can call you up
And you can say my name
'Cause I've been talking about you
To everyone so they know we're fine
You and me can make it forever
'Cause I can call you up
And you can say my name
'Cause I've been talking about you
To everyone so they know we're fine
You and me can make it forever
'Cause I can call you up
And you can say my name
'Cause I've been talking about you
To everyone so they know we're fine
