Song Description

When the world seems incapable of understanding your plutonic relationship and the heartbreak of losing your best friend.

Lyrics

[Intro]
"Marco..." / "Rubio" /
Our stupid game since seventh grade

[Verse 1]
Tuesday night, I brought Casey's to your Honda /
You're stealing all my fries while I count license plates /
Your mom thinks we're dating, mine thinks I'm gay /
We're just us, killing time / in the Walmart lot

I know your Sonic order, you know my panic face /
That's just seventeen years in the same place

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone says "when you two finally..." /
We just laugh 'cause they don't get it /
Some things are better than that

[Chorus]
You're my three AM "you up?" / my terrible movie marathon
My "get in loser" texts / my designated person
And I don't know how to be here / when you're already gone
When you're already gone

[Verse 2]
Remember the Crystal Bridges security guard? /
"Are you two on a date?" You said "No, we're on a heist" /
That gym meet where we started the wave? /
My dad still asks why we go to things we don't care about

You painted my nails to match my bruises /
Said "now you're coordinated" while I couldn't stop laughing

[Pre-Chorus]
Your Denver friends won't get why you say "Marco" /
Or why you call tornados "sky tantrums" /
But I can't explain it either

[Chorus]
You're my three AM "you up?" / my terrible movie marathon
My "get in loser" texts / my designated person
And I don't know how to be here / when you're already gone
When you're already gone

[Bridge]
Who's gonna know which stories are lies? /
Who's gonna text me "hydrate" when I'm stupid? /
Who else saves their Tuesday nights? /
Everyone says we'll stay close / but they don't know /
You can't FaceTime a whole language

[Final Chorus]
You're my emergency contact / my "yeah, they're with me" alibi
My person who's just my person /
And I already miss you / and you're not even gone
But you're already gone

[Outro]
*[Guitar fades]*
You do one last donut, shout "For the culture!" /
I throw my empty cup at your window /
"Marco" / ... /
"Just go"
"Just go"
