"Telepath" by Conan Gray is a song about an ex-lover who is trying to come back into the singer's life, but the singer can see right through their predictable behavior and knows that they will only bring more pain and disappointment. The title "Telepath" refers to the singer's ability to see into the future and predict their ex's behavior.

The first verse speaks about how the singer already knows the end of the conversation before it even starts. The pre-chorus emphasizes the predictability of the ex's behavior and suggests that they should try to be original. The chorus further highlights the singer's ability to predict their ex's behavior, as they believe that their ex will repeat past mistakes by returning to them and sending them bad messages they should have left unspoken.

In the second verse, the singer is not surprised when their ex shows up at their doorstep, asking for a kiss, when they had just said they hated them the day before. The bridge highlights that the ex will keep trying to come back, but the singer won't stop them.

Overall, the song is about how the singer can see through the repetitive behavior of an ex who repeatedly tries to come back into their life with the same meaningless gestures, and how by doing so they show themselves to be nothing more than predictable.
