[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Tell me how to drive with the windows down
Now that you're not in the passenger seat
Tell me how to dance with my best friends
Guess that my best friends know that you're not with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
[Chorus]
Summer days are lonely
When it's only me in my room
Wondering if you know that I'm
Still singing about you, ooh
Found your dirty Nikes, they remind me
Of what I've been through
You should know it makes me sick
That I'm still singing 'bout you,ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh-oh, oh)
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh-oh, oh)
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
[Verse 2]
Remember when we talked through the the whole damn night
'Bout the things we'd never say out loud?
Remember when you said that you found the one?
We were driving home with the windows down
I'd love to unlove you
I want to unwant you
I need to, I need you
I need to be free too
[Chorus]
Summer days are lonely
When it's only me in my room
Wondering if you know that I'm
Still singing about you, ooh
Found your dirty Nikes, they remind me
Of what I've been through
You should know it makes me sick
That I'm still singing 'bout you, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh-oh, oh)
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh-oh, oh)
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
[Outro]
Drive with the windows down
Now that you're not in the passenger seat
Dance with my best friend's
Guess that my best friend's know that you're not with me
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to
Oh-oh, oh
I don't hate you, I just gotta learn to

I was listening a lot to Frank Ocean’s Channel ORANGE, and a lot of those songs inspired the sound and vibe for “Dirty Nikes.” Most of my music is pretty reflective and honest to my life, but I wrote this one with Patrick, which is cool—it’s interesting to meld your life with someone else’s and have...
