“The Medic”, described by Stereogum as a “twinkly emo power ballad”, concerns a troubled relationship persisting in the absence of a viable alternative–or from deeper sentiments than expressed in the callous lyrics.
[Verse: 1]
She says, "You always smell like cigarettes
And there's always whiskey on your breath
But you're the best that I can do
And I, I think I love you."
[Chorus 1]
Now if you want me to slow down
Just tell me to slow down
Now if you want me to slow down
Just tell me to slow down
Because I want to be loved
Because I want to be loved
[Verse: 2]
She says, "You don't love me you just love sex
But I can't wait around for something better than this
Because you're the best that I can do
And I, I wish I could leave you."
[Chorus 2]
Now if you want me to slow down
Just tell me to slow down
Because I want to be loved
Because I want to be loved
Because I want to be loved
Because I want to be loved
