While premiering this song on Triple J, Montaigne detailed the subject matter, a retrospective track about a past relationship:
[It’s] a look back at what you’d known to be a healthy and fulfilling relationship whilst experiencing it, but with a little perspective discovered was pretty bad. I wrote...
[Verse 1]
You say horrible things
I laugh because I love you
And when you touch my skin
I think, "This isn't boring"
I ate a salad today
I ate one yesterday too
You told me I was precious
Now I think that I am too
[Verse 2]
We slide into your bed
And then I slide into you
We are two moving skins
I think, "This isn't boring"
I drive you to the gym
And then I wait there for you
You say to me as we get home
There's no one like you
[Chorus]
My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away ‘cause
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I’m different around you
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you
[Verse 3]
You feel difficult things
It's 12AM, I hug you
You poured a bit of whiskey
Hey! This isn't boring
You know that I don’t drink it
It tastes like acetone
Now you don’t want to talk
And I feel quite alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I have been a snake
And I have been a dog
We've done this for a while
But now it's getting hard
[Chorus]
My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away ‘cause
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I’m different around you
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you
[Bridge]
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
[Chorus]
My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away ‘cause
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I’m different around you
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you
My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I'll tell them we're okay
I won’t admit that I am blind
My friends all feel that
I’m carrying us two
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you
[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you

During a concert at The Triffid on the Brisbane leg of her Glorious Heights tour, Montaigne regaled an anecdote of how in this first fully serious relationship of hers that she was pressured to convert to Judaism if she were to ever marry her partner. This direct clash against her sense of self was...
