[Verse 1]
Let's catch up on Thursday, if it's not too soon to talk
'Cause, I've been bored of all the silent treatment ever since you walked
Now, all I do is wait for you
And all I do is wait for you, hmm
[Verse 2]
I threw a party for my twentieth, invited half the town
I know it's so unlike me, but on the off-chance, you'd come around?
All I do is root for you
Cause, all I do is root for you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was kinda hoping
You were kind of broken too
[Chorus]
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
Doesn't it mess you up a bit? Doesn't it hurt?
Let it burn, this is hell on earth and you're enjoying the weather
One for the team, I'll take the hit
Do your worst
[Post-Chorus]
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
[Verse 3]
Are you free this Thursday?
We've got so much left unsaid
Or just send more cryptic messages
Why would we waste our breath?
When all I do is yearn for you
And all I do is yearn for you, hmm
[Verse 4]
I thought, maybe if I dyed my hair I'd feel more independent
But it's nothing like the picture on the box, now I regret it
Tearing off the shower curtain
I've only made it worse
And now all I do is curse for you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was kinda hoping
You were kind of lonely too
[Chorus]
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
Doesn't it mess you up a bit? Doesn't it hurt?
Let it burn, this is hell on earth and you're enjoying the weather
One for the team, I'll take the hit
Do your worst
[Post-Chorus]
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
[Bridge]
How on earth–
And the band played that song you remember
It was Earth, Wind & Fire's “September”
Hm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm
Hm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm, hm-hmm
[Chorus]
How on earth– How on earth do you hold it together?
Doesn't it mess you up a bit? Doesn't it hurt?
Let it burn, this is hell on earth and you're enjoying the weather
One for the team, I'll take the hit
Do your worst
[Post-Chorus]
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
[Outro]
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die
La-da die, da-da die

I was thinking “I’m on Fire” by Bruce Springsteen with this, with that driving kind of rhythm. I was writing about my friend Scarlett, but also dwelling on my own experiences with having somebody break up with me and feeling completely rejected. This song was written a couple of months before “Scarl...
