[Verse 1]
Hit me 310
And I'll be home at some point
Past sundown, because traffic
You already know that, oh
I'll put on a show
If you just come over
I'm sorry your house is in Glendale
Or somewhere far
[Pre-Chorus]
I would drive all night to get to you
But my curfew is early and mom's up at home
I would run for miles to get to you
But you gotta understand I can't 'cause
[Chorus]
M-I-N-O-R
I'm minorly stuck
And it's not your fault
Just how things are
M-I-N-O-R
I'm all out of luck
I'm minorly stuck, oh
[Verse 2]
Hit me 310
We'll meet by the freeway
It's shady, but better than nothing
Oh, take my word
I grew up not far but never been down here
At this time your house is in Glendale
Or somewhere far
[Pre-Chorus]
I would drive all night to get to you
But my curfew is early and dad's at the door
I would run for miles to get to you
But you gotta understand I can't 'cause
[Chorus]
M-I-N-O-R
I'm minorly stuck
And it's not your fault
Just how things are
M-I-N-O-R
I'm all out of luck
I'm minorly stuck, oh
M-I-N-O-R
I'm minorly stuck
And it's not your fault
Just how things are
M-I-N-O-R
I'm all out of luck
I'm minorly stuck, oh

i wrote this when i was 17 and feeling stuck all the time, like my feet were locked in by cement. dramatic, sure, but entirely real also. this song was the spawn of feeling so overwhelmingly in love for the first time in my life. being even five miles apart felt like being separated by oceans and wh...
On a July 2021 interview with Cultured, Gracie explained took her the shortest amount of time to write. She said:
