The lyrics for this song are infamously hard to decipher – there’s a reason it had 1.7m streams on Spotify before someone finally transcribed it – often due to the higher falsetto portions seemingly and reportedly sung by three different members of the quartet that make up Hoops.

[Verse 1]
Can you keep your arms close to mine, together
I never know, run around
Where are you?
Keep you
From becoming it, together
And blow one last dance with you
[Chorus]
And even in my time I'm sure that I'm back living on my own
On my own
[Verse 2]
Keep secrets hidden far from me
Stay in my hand
Sinking into my mouth
(???)Give me comfort when I'm unwell(???)
(???)When it's all mellow(???)
[Chorus]
And even in my time I'm sure that I'm back living on my own
On my own
[Verse 3]
I go over to you
I go open to you
No, I never knew too
Cause, I'm emerging too
I go over to your mind
(Happens [or 'asking']) all of the time
What she does to her mind
It says she likes me unkind
And everything is a lie
Stumble, back over (exes [or 'Texas'])
And all the memories of me
She - in my arms - starts to bleed
I never wanted to be
What you cannot be
