Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(what she doing, what she doing)
24 hours don't feel right
(what she doing, what she doing)
you normally reply instantly
(what she doing, what she doing)
don't know why you're ghosting me
Anyway i hope you're doing good
If you get a minute to text me back
It'd be nice if you could
You know i'll fall asleep glued to my phone
And leave my notifications on
No I don't know why I can't delete her
I think I'm coming down with a fever
Why am I so quick to blow this shit up
I fear a thunderstorm is brewing
(in my head, in my head)
And my brain is in ruins
(just go to bed, just go to bed)
Why you have to go assume the worse
(what she doing)
I'll end up texting you first
And i'm like
Anyway i hope you're doing good
If you get a minute to text me back
I really wish she could (why won't she text me)
You know i'll fall asleep glued to my phone
And leave my notifications on
No I don't know why I can't delete her
I think I'm coming down with a fever
Tell my mind, tell my mind to stop (stop)
I don't like, I don't like my thoughts
I don't know why i can't cope
I'm a go, I'm a go, I'm a go spiral
Tell my mind, tell my mind that the less I know the better
So then maybe I'll act, yeah maybe i'll act delusional
Why am i so quick to blow this shit up
You know i'll fall asleep glued to my phone
and leave my notifications on
No I don't know why I can't delete her
I think I'm coming down with a fever
