“Out Of It” was written during a writing camp in Joshua Tree in 2020 (with Alex Venegas & Alex Koste). Sleeping Lion brought the song to Ariza to do final production.

[Verse 1]
I think I got over you
In under a month
It didn’t take much
Just had to get drunk, yeah
Go out with my friends while we fell out of touch
Got good at ignoring you
It didn’t take long
Now I don’t respond
When you call me up, yeah
It’s 2 in the morning and you’re all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can’t be the one you always wanted
If you wanna be the one that got away
I’ve been feeling awful since we started
So I won’t be broken hearted
If you’re not gonna stay
Cause
[Chorus]
Babe this didn’t hit me like I thought it did
Sure I fell in love but I fell out of it
And I don’t wanna be the one who’s lost in it
Somehow I fell in love but now I’m out of it
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Now I’m out of it
Now I’m out of it
Yeah
Now I’m out of it
Now I’m out of it
[Verse 2]
I hate looking back at this
We were a mess
You made me depressed
But after we ended I gathered my shit and I went to a therapist
She said:
I’m lost in the narrative
(“You’re lost in the narrative”)
So I’m not the villain in this
I’m happy to run from the guilt than admit there was something that I might’ve missed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can’t be the one you always wanted
If you wanna be the one that got away
I’ve been feeling awful since we started
So I won’t be broken hearted
If you’re not gonna stay
Cause
[Chorus]
Babe this didn’t hit me like I thought it did
Sure I fell in love but I fell out of it
And I don’t wanna be the one who’s lost in it
Somehow I fell in love but now I’m out of it
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Now I’m out of it
Now I’m out of it
Yeah
Now I’m out of it
Now I’m out of it
