The fifth track off their debut album, Just Like That sees The Aces finally deciding to cut ties with a person who is not good enough for them. NPR described the track as a “slow-burning pop jam in muted pastels.” Said the band of the song in the same piece, “Hopefully you’ll scream it in your room...
[Verse 1]
I took a car to your place
I wanted to see your face
And you're calling me names
I slept, I slept in too late
Burned my tongue, missed the train
All because of that look you gave
[Pre-Chorus 1]
My sister says I should give up
My friends say you're not good enough
And now I'm seeing right through you
I'm seeing what they never saw in you
[Chorus]
Tell me, are you even in it?
'Cause I'm done trying in a minute
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of
You can come get all your t-shirts
'Cause I don't like the way I look in them
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of you
Nothing left of you
[Verse 2]
I think you love when we fight
So you feel something inside
What a depressing sight
Maybe you'd love me if I
Had more money to buy
All the shit that you think you'd like
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Your sister says I should give up
Your friends say you're not good enough
And now I'm seeing right through you
I'm seeing what they never saw in you
[Chorus]
Tell me, are you even in it?
'Cause I'm done trying in a minute
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of
You can come get all your t-shirts
'Cause I don't like the way I look in them
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of you
Nothing left of you
[Bridge]
I don't know what you're thinking
I don't know what you want from me
You keep it all in, I can disappear
(Just like that, just like that)
I don't know what you're thinking
I don't know what you want from me
You keep it up, I'm gonna disappear
(Just like that, just like that)
[Chorus]
Tell me, are you even in it?
'Cause I'm done trying in a minute
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of
You can come get all your t-shirts
'Cause I don't like the way I look in them
And just like that, just like that
There's nothing left of you
[Outro]
I'm gonna disappear
Keep it up and I can disappear
There's nothing left of you (Nothing left of me)
I'm gonna disappear
No, there's nothing left of you
