From her interview with Yours Truly:
This record is a lot about confronting insecurities. I don’t really consider myself sexy, actually I think I’m a bit awkward sometimes! I wanted to write a song out of my comfort zone. Someone told me once that I was pretty when I wake up so I wrote a song about...
[Verse 1]
Nothing comes between us
But a piece of latex
When you tear my clothes off
Like I was a paycheck
I don't have to fake it
Don't have to wear makeup
You say that I'm pretty
Pretty when I wake up
[Chorus]
Why don't we make up our own rules
And break them when we like?
Shake me off the branch
And take the biggest bite
[Verse 2]
I don't have a t-shirt
Better than you fit me
In my lowest moments
You know how to lift me
Somehow it's that easy
Easy when you please me
Kiss off all my lipstick
I don't have to fix it
[Chorus]
Why don't we make up our own rules
And break them when we like?
Shake me off the branch
And take the biggest bite
Make up our own rules
And break them when we like
Shake me off the branch
And take the biggest bite
[Bridge]
Can we make it up, can we make it up?
Can we make it up, can we make it up?
[Chorus]
Why don't we make up our own rules
And break them when we like?
Shake me off the branch
And take the biggest bite
