Lyrics.

Note: tryin’ in the chorus and tired in the outro should each be sung as 1 syllable.

My friends say I know better
but I’m still hanging around.
I’ve heard so many rumors,
that I’m just somebody that you joke about.
I thought you thought of me better,
someone you couldn’t lose.
You said, “We’re not together”
so now when we talk, I don’t know what is true.

You said, “Baby, it’s apparent”
But we’re

Curled up in the passenger seat, *tryin’ to figure you 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 playing 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

Curled up in the passenger seat, *tryin’ to figure you 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, oh oh oh

It’s hard being casual
when my favorite songs still play on your speaker.
And it’s hard being casual
when I still make plans with your little sister.
And I try to be a listener
that holds my tongue and gives you space.
I try to be the listener
but honestly, I’m not…

Curled up in the passenger seat, *tryin’ to figure you out
Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house on Long Beach
I know what you tell your friends
Baby, don’t call me again…

I broke down in the bathroom when we went to dinner,
your parents at the table – I held it all together.
Bragging to your friends, like you were proud about it,
I hate to tell the truth, but I’m sorry, dude you did it.

I’m *tired of letting this drag on so long, now I choose myself.
I’m done letting this drag on so long, go find someone else
