At a pop-up show at The Mercury Lounge on December 11, 2024, Baker and TORRES mashed the song up with Farewell Transmission by Songs: Ohia by adding this outro:
Real truth about it is
No one gets it right
Real truth about it is
We’re all supposed to try
Oh, listen
Oh, listen
Oh, listen
Listen
Afte...
[Verse 1: Baker, Baker & TORRES]
Baby, can you fill me in on last night?
Somewhere after nine, the tape runs out
You say I made you cry, but that it's no big deal
Laughing as you kiss me on the mouth
Oh, I never met a sin I'm above trying
If you need convincing, I've got plenty proof
How come you can always tell when I am lying?
And I hardly ever ask you for the truth
[Verse 2: Baker, Baker & TORRES]
No one likes to hear that they ain't good enough
Least when they already know it's true
Oh, you bought low and figured you would fix it up
And now you think there's nothing you can do
[Verse 3: Baker, Baker & TORRES]
Now I'm mouth-breathing on the sofa in the pitch dark
While the credits scroll on the TV in the den
Oh, I think I remember all the good parts
But I need you to tell me how it ends
Ooh, baby, I need you to tell me how it ends
[Instrumental]
