“This song has been on the back burner for so long, and I think has had the most iterations of any song on the album. It’s gone through a reggae-influenced version, a slower-paced, lorde-pure-heroine-esque, version, a minimalist Joji version, and many others until I landed on this one. I wrote this...
[Verse 1]
Look what I've done, I've made a mess again
Summer was fun, but now I’m done pretendin’
Feet off the ground, I’ll leave town and hope that the vultures will take me
My head’s been gone lately
3 little words, 2 bodies, 1 bedroom
To different worlds, on gloomy afternoons
I’d fly to you, escape through these sounds, cause we live, then we drown cause
Been lost, can’t be found cause
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oo-oo-oo-oo), I’m back on my bullshit, but I won’t admit it
Cause (oo-oo-oo-oo), been broken-hearted, even when we started
[Chorus]
Sexy and sad, that's what I am
Cry ‘til the morning, my heart’s in your hands
And I feel like I'm sinking cause I keep on drinking
When I overthink things…
I’m sexy and sad
I’m sexy and sad
[Verse 2]
Why do I lie like a corpse on my sweat-covered pillow?
Diffuse through the sky like some smoke through a broke stained-glass window
“Cause I'm just a monster, I'm under your covers, your cameo lover, then gone like the others
Not here for the long ride, but love for a lifetime, just here for the night, yeah, just live till we die”
(Oo-oo-oo-oo), I’m back on my bullshit, but I won’t admit it
Cause (oo-oo-oo-oo), been broken-hearted, even when we started
[Chorus]
Sexy and sad, that's what I am
Cry ‘til the morning, my heart’s in your hands
And I feel like I'm sinking cause I keep on drinking
When I overthink things…
I’m sexy and sad
I’m sexy and sad
Not sexy, just sad
Not sexy, just sad
