[Verse 1]
I got your back no matter what, even if you fuck up
I know you're just lookin' for love in the last place you left it
I promise I get it
I just don't wanna see you gettin' hurt again
Goin' against the best advice of all your friends
[Refrain]
So let's pick up the conversation
'Bout how you deserve better
I was happy when you left her
And I really fuckin' hate her
But I swear I'd make an effort
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
She's hot and she's familiar
So you let her treat you badly
I rеally can't stress this enough
[Chorus]
It takes somе time, it hurts 'til it doesn't
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens
Someone better than you can imagine
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
[Verse 2]
I got your back no matter what
Everybody's got their blind spots
But you've been looking through 'em a lot
You're distorting the memories, and I can see you forgetting
Why we wrote down "eleven reasons not to fuck with her"
She texts you once and now you're waitin' up for her
[Chorus]
It takes some time, it hurts 'til it doesn't (It takes some time, it hurts)
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen (It takes some time, it hurts)
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens (Wait 'til it happens)
Someone better than you can imagine (Someone better than you can imagine)
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
[Post-Chorus]
Better than this, better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better
[Refrain]
I'm not tryna pressure
But I was happy when you left her
And I really fuckin' hate her
But I swear I'd make an effort
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
She's hot and she's familiar
So you let her treat you badly
I really can't stress this enough
[Chorus]
It takes some time, it hurts 'til it doesn't (It hurts 'til it doesn't)
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen (They come by the dozen)
Everyone loves you, that's just it (That's just it)
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better)
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens (Wait 'til it happens)
Someone better than you can imagine (You can imagine)
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better)
[Post-Chorus]
Better than this, better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
Better than this, better than this (I promise that)
I promise that it's gonna get better

“What Keeps Me From It” is me figuring out a little bit of my own situation, and then ‘For Emilee’ is me seeing a friend going through something similar and then providing whatever semblance of clarity that I have on the situation to her. It’s always easier to see the shit clearly when it’s not you....
On an interview with The Zach Sang Show, JP said:
Emilee is one of my best friends. That is the hype track for the heartbroken, the heartbroken being embodied in my friend, Emilee. She was actually driving me to the session that I wrote this song in, and she was talking about an unideal version of...
