Born out of a real nightmare, Bowers' new angsty single playfully examines the derailing power of Othello’s “green-eyed monster”- jealousy.
“The lyrics of ‘Jealous’ are quite literal… I had a dream that my partner at the time was into someone else. We were sitting on a curb and he kept staring at h...
Verse 1:
I had a dream last night I didn't leave
Ignoring social cues, casually I
Wrapped you into another conversation
I saw you looking kind of anxiously
Side to side, didn't look at me
We were sitting on the curb
Saying deep things to the pavement
Pre-Chorus 1:
Then a girl walked up in a short-sleeved dress
And I pretended not to notice when you
Stared at her chest and I'm
Chorus:
Jealous
But only in my mind, only when I have time
Can't help it
It's kind of like goodbye, but a little less final
Holding on until it's gone
Is something I do best when I'm
Jealous
Verse 2:
Subconscious me is kind of mean
She paints a picture I can't really unsee
Where I'm insecure and you're with her
And I think I deserved it
When I get up I think I'll get you back
By asking out a guy to get dinner next Friday
That's a sad way to cope with how I'm hurting
Pre-Chorus 2:
I hate it when I'm feeling right, but I'm thinking left
And I'm pretending not to notice that it's
All in my head when I'm
Chorus:
Jealous
But only in my mind, only when I have time
Can't help it
It's kind of like goodbye, but a little less final
Holding on until it's gone
Is something I do best when I'm
Jealous

I get in my own way and get a little insane
Just picturing her hands all over your face
I don't want to be afraid, but
I'm so afraid of losing what I can't save
When I'm jealous
It's only in my mind, it's a waste of time
Chorus:
I'm jealous
But only in my mind, only when I have time
Can't help it
It's kind of like goodbye, but a little less final
Holding on until it's gone
Is something I do best when I'm
Jealous
