I don't wanna waste my time if I can't be by your side
You really shouldn't think about God if she can't see where you hide
We don't gotta talk about nothing nice if you wanna come down
But she don't gotta know 'bout nothing
But she don't gotta know...
[Chorus]
And if the stars collide, will she relieve my soul?
And when we feel alive I know she'll let me go
When you read my lips, I know you feel all cold
But I promise you my heart is made of gold
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna waste my time if I can't make you decide
You're only on my mind when I need you
I don't need to know about what you do when the Sun goes down
'Cause I don't gotta know about nothing
'Cause I don't gotta know...
[Chorus]
And if the stars collide, will she relieve my soul?
When we feel alive I know she'll let me go
When you read my lips, I know you feel my cold
But I promise you my heart is made of gold

A lot of the time a track just comes together really quickly, I personally love the texture of the track and I really try to make my instrumentals and vocals sound as organic as possible.
—Joji
I think my friend was talking to me. He was talking about cheating on his girl, and I was like, “I don’t know. You can do it if you want. Why are you talking to me?” And then I thought about that a little more. Just, my friend cheating on his girl. And I wrote a song about that. It’s not about him, but it was inspired by that.
