Though the full story is unclear, this whole album is focusing on Katy Kirby’s queer awakening. This song tells a story about an affair that Katy had that lead her to her discovery.
[Verse 1]
Crushed up like a Coke can
Carpet bomb of estrogen
You're gonna take that back
You're gonna take that back
"Party's wearing red," she said
Naked, I look just like a Rembrandt
I hope you're into that
I hope you're into that
Protecting and attacking
You're still hanging on to that
Perverse sense of obligation
[Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait
Wait, listen
You can't say I didn't warn you
[Verse 2]
Good neighbors make good fences
If you pile them end to end
Stack 'em high now, heel to head
They're keeping off the wind
She callеd me a feast when
Wе kissed up in her bedroom, then
She apologized for biting in
I hope you're into that
So I turned off my location
Let her fuck me like you thought you did
I remember every minute
[Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait
Wait, listen
You can't say I didn't warn you
Wait, wait, wait
Wait, listen
You can't say I didn't warn you
[Outro]
Healing over, still embedded
Names were changed to protect the participants
Perverse sense of obligation
