[Refrain]
How can you miss someone you've never met?
'Cause I need you now but I don't know you yet
But can you find me soon because I'm in my head?
Yeah, I need you now but I don't know you yet
[Chorus]
'Cause lately it's been hard
They're selling me for parts
And I don't wanna be modern art
But I only got half a heart
To give to you
[Verse]
How can you miss someone you've never seen?
Oh, tell me are your eyes brown, blue, or green?
And do you like it with sugar and cream?
Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?
[Chorus]
Yeah, lately it's been hard
They're selling me for parts
And I don't wanna be modern art
But I only got half a heart
To give to you
[Bridge]
And I hope it's enough
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Refrain]
How can you miss someone you've never met?
'Cause I need you now but I don't know you yet
But can you find me soon because I'm in my head?
Yeah, I need you now but I don't know you yet
[Outro]
I need you now but I don't know you yet
I need you now but I don't know you yet
I need you now but I don't know you yet
I need you now but I don't know you yet

I had the first two lines and the guitar part and then just tried to let the rest of the song write itself. The guitar part is so circular so I tried to just support that melodically. Production wise, I wanted to keep it stripped, but add enough elements to keep it emotionally building the whole s...
The emotional headspace of being in quarantine reminded me of a difficult time in my life a few years ago.
Once I had the first two lines and the guitar part, I finished the rest of it in a couple hours. It felt so honest and vulnerable that I decided to not add too much to it after that.
On March 31, 2022, “IDK You Yet” was certified platinum by the RIAA.
