Hazel, the fifth and final track on Hanson’s debut EP, Junk, details what’s it like having a friend who’s heading down the wrong path who’s keeping you in the dark while you’re worried sick about them. You care a lot for them and just want to know that they’re ok, while also needing for them to know...
[Verse 1]
Hazel, are you stable?
Please pick up the fucking phone, why you MIA?
I don't want you to be alone if you're feeling crazy
Tell me something I don't know, yeah, I don't know, yeah
Call me back
Hazel, you know I got you
Even when I'm at the top, I won't ever drop you
I will never hold you back, I could never stop you
But you're acting like you're somebody else
Like you're losing yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
Just call me back, just call me back, back, back
[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something's going on (Something's going on)
Something's feeling wrong (Something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won't be your enemy
You've gotta open up (You've gotta open up)
If something's going on (If something's going on)
[Verse 2]
Hazel, why you lying?
Hanging with those other people, you're not like them
We both know you've got your demons, don't try to hide them
Ain't no good can come from staying up all night, yeah
Fiending for that white
[Pre-Chorus]
You're drowning (Oh), it's eating me away (Oh no)
You found that, that pleasure in the pain (Oh, oh)
It's eating me away (Oh)
Finding pleasure in the pain
[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something's going on (Something's going on, yeah, yeah)
Something's feeling wrong (Something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won't be your enemy
Gotta open up (Gotta open up)
If something's going on (If something's going on, oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, whoa
Ah, whoa
Something's going on (Something's going on)
Something's feeling wrong (Something's feeling wrong)
[Bridge]
Hazel, are you stable?
Please pick up the fucking phone, why you MIA?
I don't want you to feel alone, and if you miss me
Tell me something so I know, yeah, just so I know
[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose you
Tell me what you're going through
Something's going on (Something's going on)
Something's feeling wrong (Something's feeling wrong)
You can tell me anything
I won't be your enemy
You've gotta open up (Gotta open, gotta open up)
If something's going on (Something's going on)
[Outro]
Ah, ah (Whoa)
Ah, ah (Whoa)
Something's going on (Ah, ah)
Something's feeling wrong
It's feeling, it's feeling, it's feeling wrong

I vividly remember writing my song “Hazel” because I was nervous to go to that session that day and I knew I wanted to talk about that—what was going on. It’s a song about one of my best friends going through a difficult time. It was weird at first because it was so hard for me to talk about that es...
