This song is about a guy who’s getting anxious because a girl won’t message him back. The word “gumshoe” is an old-timey term for a detective, and I named the song after this because they main character is saying he’s gonna find out where this girl is and what she’s up to.
I feel like this song is...
Bro she hasn't hit me back yet what do I do?
Dude, calm down, it’s been like, an hour
Where you at?
You been gone for like 6 days
Was it something i said?
Are you just throwin shade?
I'm confused
Don't know what this girl wants
Opened up my snapchat, no response
And I’m going kinda crazy
Wonder what happened
Did you get kidnapped or are you just passive?
I'm just askin
I don't wanna come on too strong
But girl i've been on read for way too long
And you know i'm no
Sherlock, no Doctor Who
Not James Bond, no Nancy Drew but
You know I'm gonna find you (find you, find you)
Need you to be mine
You a straight dime
Wonderin know if i'm wasting my time so
I don't know what else to do
Ooo got
No time to lose
I’ll be there quick
Got gum on my shoes yah
Girl i know just what you need
Runnin round town
Can’t catch a clue
Doesn't matter I’m still gonna find you I
Blame my anxiety
Ok imma take it back to the start
I was on a roll but you weren't playin your part (yea)
I remember on the second date
When you told me i'm the best
No stress
Now I'm feelin like it’s chess (what)
I don't wanna
Mess around for a few weeks then quit (uh)
All of my friends keep giving me shit (uh huh)
I'm just tryna tell you how i feel
Baby this the real deal
Take a chance
Spin the wheel
We can hit the jackpot
Think she love me not
Flower with these petals i've been pickin start to rot
I keep strikin out
When i'm tryna hit the long ball
You ain't gotta worry know i'm here for the long haul
Girl i'm insecure
Need that validation
Got nothin but time
But you know that i've been patient
I'm that kinda guy you can take home to mom
But girl i've been on read for way too long
And you know i'm no
Sherlock, no Doctor Who
Not James Bond, no Nancy Drew but
You know I'm gonna find you (find you, find you)
Need you to be mine
You a straight dime
Wonderin know if i'm wasting my time so
I don't know what else to do
Ooo got
No time to lose
I'll be there quick
Got gum on my shoes yah
Girl i know just what you need
Runnin round town
Can't catch a clue
Doesn't matter I'm still gonna find you I
Blame my anxiety
(Break it down now)
(Girl you know i'm on the case yah)
Ooo got no time to lose
Got gum, got gum on my shoes
Gumshoes, Gumshoes, yeah
Gumshoes, Gumshoes
