K.Flay has written this song about her girlfriend Miya Folick.
The song is about falling in love fast and intensely. On the track, K.Flay sings about being scared that her girlfriend won’t feel the same and will recoil from the relationship because of it. She said:
I was worried I’d freak her the...
[Verse 1]
I was fine on my own, every night I slept alone
The distance kept me safe
It's easier to fake the feel than dance around with somethin' real
Promises might break
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you came along and said that I was different
You were missin' somethin' and it felt like we should see
Normally, I'd file away your face as a distraction
But I like the way that you're distracting me
[Chorus]
Get in the plane, runnin' your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feelin' a type, feelin' a way, it's different and it's workin'
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous (Hey)
Oh, you make me nervous (Hey)
[Verse 2]
I went home before my friends so I could hear your voice again
But it feels strange to care
I hesitate to say out loud that when I'm drunk and in a crowd
I pretend you're there (You're there)
[Pre-Chorus]
We watched the helicopters from the top of your apartment
And all I could think was, "I don't want to leave"
Normally, I'd file away your face as a distraction
But I like the way that you're distracting me
[Chorus]
Get in the plane, runnin' your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feelin' a type, feelin' a way, it's different and it's workin'
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous (Hey)
Oh, you make me nervous (Hey)
[Bridge]
I'm writing this from your bed
While you're in the other room
I like what you do to me, and I wanna tell you soon
Maybe you'll shy away, maybe we'll fall apart
It's hard bein' honest, but I'm being honest
[Chorus]
Get in the plane, runnin' your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feelin' a type, feelin' a way, it's different and it's workin'
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous
Oh, you make me nervous

The song is about Miya, K.Flay’s girlfriend.
The line that gives it away is this one:
We watched the helicopters from the top of your apartment
This really happened one night.
Miya explained in an interview with GQ:
I knew it was about me the minute I heard the first chord. I don’t know why. I was listening to it alone in my apartment at 2 a.m., holding my laptop, walking around my apartment like, ‘Oh, my God. I think this song is about me.’ Nobody had ever written a son...
