Continuing with the suburban coming-of-age aethestic encapsulated in their other releases Stars & Moons, Swim and Pretty Thing, Joshua is a “broken-hearted croon” to a past relationship. Lead singer Katie Munshaw stated in an interview to Stereogum

[Verse 1]
Joshua's a Gemini
He broke my heart, wish
I was too preoccupied to fall apart
Certain he was God sent
The sweetest sentences
Funny how my world could end in silence
[Chorus 1]
Too naive to believe
His glow was all but fire
Too cold to get close to
So I loved him through the wires
He calloused my sweet dreams
Into sleepless nights
That was all until he vanished in time
[Verse 2]
Had to tell my mother when
She found my cold heart
Lying in a trash bin on our yard
All my friends are pessimists
But I find solace
Riding in your front seat till morning
[Chorus 2]
It's late night at stoplights
You ask what's in my head
And I heard what you told me
But I change the subject
We ride past my address
The night a medicine
By the time it's the morning
My mind is quiet
It's late night at stoplights
You ask what's going wrong
But I'm a tired old liar
And I hum that Bonnie song
We ride on in silence
But I see you're catching on
By the time it's the chorus
You nod and sing along
[Bridge]
There's a bitterness and a mellow sting
It was always in vain
Yeah, it was always in vain
And all the blood that we shed was only red
Never mind all of the romanticizing
[Outro]
Joshua's a Gemini
He broke my heart, wish
I was too preoccupied to fall apart
