Mike wrote his verse from the perspective of his boyfriend talking to him. He feels sometimes he tends to shut people out and disappear into his own world, which he thinks must be frustrating to those around him. Weyes Blood wrote her verse, which is the other side of the relationship in the song.

The world we made break
And it's never too late to stay
Hold me right
Don't cut me down
[Outro: Perfume Genius and Weyes Blood]
