“This song was inspired by my best friend. Platonic love and intimacy are both so important to me. My friends and I have an unspoken understanding that if one of us isn’t okay, the other will be there in a flash, whether or not we want them to be.

[verse]
Can I come over?
I know you said no but
I wanna see ya
Can I come over?
Just for a sec, let me in
Just wanna check that you’re in
‘cos I’m your next of kin
[Chorus]
‘cos you’ve been sleeping on your own
Answering your phone
And we are proud of you
‘cos you’ve been jumping in the sea
Remembering to eat
And we are holding you
‘cos it’s not easy
To live when you’re always uneasy
A need for constant reassurance, can make you feel needy
But you can be needy, ‘cos we’ve got what you need
And you can never be greedy, ‘cos we'll love you for free
[verse]
I’m coming over
I know you said no
But I have something to tell ya
I’m coming over
You need to know that you’re strong
That you’re loved by someone
And we’ll hold all this shit together
[Chorus]
‘cos you’ve been sleeping on your own
Answering your phone
And we are proud of you
‘cos you’ve been jumping in the sea
Remembering to eat
And we are holding you
‘cos it’s not easy
To live when you’re always uneasy
A need for constant reassurance, can make you feel needy
But you can be needy, ‘cos we’ve got what you need
And you can never be greedy, ‘cos we'll love you for free
