Inspired by the sounds of early 2000s pop-punk bands like Sum 41 and blink-182, Hotmail is a song about falling in love while struggling with your finances and battling depression as a young adult – “Why are you blushing, honey? You’re better running from me.” The darker story told through the lyric...
[Verse 1]
Tell me when you’re free and I’ll sneak on the bus
‘Cause I can’t fill the jeep with insufficient funds
My credit card is tied up in the backseat
I wish that I could buy some stupid shit that I don’t need
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m hoping for a break
Okay, it’s cool, I’m fine
I’ve got nothing to my name
Okay, don’t worry, I’m alright
And I’m leaving in a day
[Chorus]
Why are you blushing, honey
You’re better running from me
But I need you more than money now
Oh, why do you love me, honey
You’re better– something, something
You could probably find somebody else
[Verse 2]
Are you free tonight, I wanna see my friend
If I leave in fivе, I’ll be there in tеn
You’re the only one who can make me laugh
When everything is numb, you don’t seem to think I’m such a drag
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m motionless today
Okay, it’s cool, you’re fine
I’ve got something in my brain
Okay, don’t worry, you’re alright
And I’m being such a pain
[Chorus]
Why are you blushing, honey
You’re better running from me
But I need you more than money now
Oh, why do you love me, honey
You’re better– something, something
You could probably find somebody else
[Bridge]
You make everything alright, this will never be your fault
You answer every call
You could break my heart, I’d still come crawling back to you
Oh, no
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m fading with the day
Okay, it’s cool, we’re fine
I’m so ugly and ashamed
Okay, don’t worry, we’re alright
I’m the reason I complain
[Outro]
I'm heading to work– I'm late
Uh– it's payday for me tomorrow
That's it, so, see you later
