[Intro: "Solo" by Jay Park]
(You got me like)
(You got me like)
[Verse 1: No Rome]
Take a picture of all my flaws or
You can take a video on your phone
And you know that I would talk
But I'm too afraid to pick you up and go home
I'm feeling Dazed like a magazine
Finding my insanity
Wishing it'll all go away
Now we're smoking up the balcony
You telling me profanities
“Maybe it was never okay”
[Pre-Chorus: No Rome]
345's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist for doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "Not again"
Now I gotta tell her that I love one of her friends
345's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist for doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "Not again"
Now I gotta tell her that I love one of her friends
[Chorus: Matty Healy]
And I've been seeing somebody
But I've not found a way to tell you
That I'm seeing somebody
There's not a nice way for me to say that
I've been seeing somebody
You know I want you to be happy
So start seeing somebody
And then maybe we can get on with it
[Verse 2: No Rome]
Stayin' late, I just wanna get stoned
Telling all your friends that I'm never at home
And my face filling up with blood
But you're still the same living like a bourgeois
Coughing up the promethazine
Living like an evergreen
Sorry for the things that I've done
Now Selena won't be friends with me
I was kissing Emily
I love you, it was never your fault
[Bridge: No Rome]
345's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist for doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "Not again"
Now I gotta tell her that I love one of her friends
[Chorus: Matty Healy]
And I've been seeing somebody
But I've not found a way to tell you
That I'm seeing somebody
There's not a nice way for me to say that
I've been seeing somebody
You know I want you to be happy
So start seeing somebody
And then maybe we can get on with it
(Seeing somebody)
[Outro: No Rome]
345's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist for doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "Not again"
Now I'm boutta tell her that I love one of her friends

I made a demo then I sent it over to Matty cause we were listening to the stuff that I’d been working on recently. I sent him over that track and he also fell in love with it the same way I did, and he was like, “Oh, do you wanna do something with it?” so I was like “Yeah.”
The “explicit” label isn’t just for profanity. It can be used for extensive references to drug use, violence, or sex. In this case, the label is used for the song’s extensive drug references.
