Maisie commented on this song on her pre-release posts
this song is one i absolutely could not have written as a teenager – there’s too much self respect in it quite frankly lol. it feels determined and empowered and like a foot down moment, a you really disappointed me and im really cut up about i...
[Verse 1]
I take in clowns like a one-woman circus
You're kinda awful, but you're not awful on purpose
Gave a two-word response when I was havin' a breakdown
Oh, Mr. Bruce Wayne, where is that cape now?
[Refrain]
Don't you know that you're losing this? (Is that what you want?)
Don't you know that you're losing this? (I'm 'bout to be gone)
Don't you see what I'm givin' up and you can't even text?
Don't be surprised, now I'm givin' up, God, what did you expect?
[Chorus]
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You coulda come, but your head's in the sand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you?
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
[Verse 2]
You were my best friend, my shoulder to lean on
But you pushed me out quicker than it took me to put my jeans on
And maybe you're lost and just can't see what you have
But I'm not gonna wait, now I know better than that
[Refrain]
Don't you know that you're losing this? (Is that what you want?)
Don't you know that you're losing this? (I'm 'bout to be gone)
Don't you see what you're givin' up? I'm not holdin' my breath
You won't see what you're givin' up till I've already left
[Chorus]
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You coulda come, but your head's in the sand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you?
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
[Bridge]
Goodbye from your biggest fan
Goodbye from the bigger man
Bye-bye from your girl, oh, damn
You're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
[Chorus]
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
And I thought you did, but you don't understand
What's a girl gonna do when she's in love with you?
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man (Man)
I'm on a one-way trip to take over the world
You could've come, babe, I held out my hand
Yeah, it's sad and it's true and I'm in love with you
But you're just a boy and I'm kinda the man
[Outro]
Goodbye from your biggest fan
Goodbye from the bigger man
Bye-bye from your girl, oh, damn
You're just a boy and I'm kinda the man

We wrote this song in between Ed Sheeran’s tour dates. I was back in London for a few days and it was my first time in the studio with Matias Tellez. I got in and was talking about Shania [Twain]’s song, “Man! I Feel like a Woman!”, which was our walk out song on tour for all of last year, and how u...
