Harper describes “Thrills” as a “tongue-and-cheek song about being young and free yet stupid and young”.
The song started with the riff, and the lyrics flowed naturally from there.
[Intro]
Wooo!
[Verse 1]
Five in the morning, I feel alright
Out in the open, it's cold, just two cigarettes
He says, "Now, now, ya bitch", you'd kill for a fight, ooh
But sometimes your will's better dead than alive
[Verse 2]
She said, "I'm no frills, all thrills, obsessed with the stars"
I said, "I hate hugs, do drugs, and drive a shitty car"
Yeah, but if you're up but down, I'll sweep you off your feet
It's still my only one, just don’t yack in the back seat
[Chorus]
Yeah, we're so wasteful and we've only got five years
No indication of where it all begins
[Verse 3]
L-L-L-Late in November, I'm not the same
It's easy to hide when no one's looking at you
Oh well, I wanna be seen, just not candidly
"Yeah, I'll pay to stream, but only come and watch if it's free"
Your friends are all 'goals', no soul, well-dressed, hell stressed
We’re all too happy, too sad to clean up the mess
So when there's nothing new but people faking orgasms here
Keep your real friends far and your fake friends near
[Chorus]
Well, we're so wasteful and we've only got five years
No indication of where it all begins
