My friends call me a chooser
’cause I’m still hanging around.
I’ve heard so many rumors,
that I’m just a girl that will sit on your couch.
I thought you thought of me better,
someone you couldn’t lose.
You said, “We’re not together”
so now when we kiss, I have anger issues
You said, “Baby, it’s apparent”
But we’re
Sitting in the passenger seat, you’re eating in-n-out
Is it casual now?
Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house on Long Beach
Is it casual now?
I know what you tell your friends
It’s casual, if it’s casual now
Then, baby, don’t call me again
If it’s casual, it’s casual now
Young love, I love being cupid,
dream of us in a year.
Maybe we’d have an apartment
and you’d show me off to your friends at the pier
You said, “Baby, it’s apparent”
But we’re
Sitting in the passenger seat, you’re eating in-n-out
Is it casual now?
Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house on Long Beach
Is it casual now?
I know what you tell your friends
It’s casual, if it’s casual now
Then, baby, don’t call me again
If it’s casual
It’s hard being casual
when my favorite mouse lives in your dresser.
And it’s hard being casual
when I’m on the phone talking to your sister.
And I try to be the chill girl
that holds her tongue and gives you space.
I try to be the chill girl
but honestly, I’m not…
Sitting in the passenger seat, you’re eating in-n-out
Two weeks, and your mom invites me to her Long Beach house
I know what you tell your friends
Baby, don’t call me again
I called you in the bathroom when we went to dinner
Your parents at the table, you wonder why I’m bitter
Bragging to your friends, I brought food and you ate it
I hate to tell the truth, but I’m sorry, dude, you did it.
I hate that I let this drag on so long, ‘cause I wasn’t strong.
Hate that I let this drag on so long, don’t want to be wrong.
