Somebody's drivin' you home, but they don't know who you are
You're in the back of the car
Somebody's tryin' to help and makin' everything worse
Somebody, please call the nurse
Somebody's rippin' you off, tryin' to sell you good news
You know we're still gonna lose
But I need to be where you are, for no reason at all
Or else I'll suffer withdrawals
[Chorus]
Nobody's comin' to save me
Nobody knows any better, anyway
I think we're thinkin' the same thing
If this is how it ends, I wasn't listening
[Verse 2]
Somebody's scrеamin' again, another sunburn with hair
It's too much fun not to stare
Somebody's callin' you out for somеthin' you never said
Kinda can't wait to be dead
Somebody's wasting my time, fuck your Confederate flag
You've got no reason to brag
[Chorus]
Nobody's comin' to save me
Nobody knows any better, anyway
I think we're thinkin' the same thing
If this is how it ends, I wasn't listening
(To you)
(To you)
I wasn't listening yet
Not even gone, but you'll be missing me yet
I wasn't listening yet
I wasn't listening
I wasn't listening yet

In a statement, Finneas revealed:
I’m happy for this song to mean anything to anyone who listens to it but to me, it’s a song about my relationship with the internet. Especially in an election year. Especially during a pandemic. Sometimes, the internet makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry, sometimes it makes me hopeful. But sometimes, it really makes me wanna be dead.
