In this dreamy, psychedelic pop-rock track, Mallrat kisses her lover goodbye after recognizing she’s been taken for granted. She lets her now-ex know that she’s onto bigger and better things, whether that’s a future rockstar partner, a sweep of the Grammys, and a happy family. It’s too late for her...
[Verse 1]
You're my darling, I'm on standby
Doesn't make sense, don't understand why
Keep me guessing, make me crazy
Who's been messing with my baby?
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck you for playing games with my heart
And keeping me in the dark, I loved you right from the start
[Chorus]
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rock star, we'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rock star, we'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day
[Verse 2]
I get you high, you roll me up in your Backwoods
I'm moving forward while you're slipping on backwards
It breaks my heart, oh baby, baby, you're tragic
Don't think you're slick for cashing in on my magic
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a movie scene standing in the rain
When you call my name, it'll be too late
[Chorus]
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rock star, we'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe I'll fall in love with a rock star, we'll be married forever
I'll forget all about you one day
Maybe when I've won all the Grammys and I've got my own family
I'll forget all about you one day
[Outro]
(One day) It breaks my heart, oh baby, baby, you're tragic
Don't think you're slick for cashing in on my magic

All through my teens (and obviously still) I loved the early Violent Soho albums self-titled and Hungry Ghost – those two albums I’ve listened to a lot and I think that’s seeped its way into the track. A lot of the songs I’ve been writing lately have been...
