hookup scene Lyrics
This hookup scene
Ain't all that it's made out to be
You get your fill and leave empty
More lonely than before
And you lay beside
Somebody you know isn't right
I make-believe it's love, then I
Start lookin' for the door
[Chorus]
If you've got someone to love
And you've almost given up
Hold on tight despite the way they make you mad
'Cause you might not even know that you don't have it so bad
[Verse 2]
A pretty face
It might get you far, but still, it can't replace
The kind of real connection that I crave
The kind we don't have anymore
And I get in my head
Analyzing what I had
It's a chapter that ain't coming back
I coulda learned to love it more
So if you've got someone to love
And you've almost given up
Hold on tight despite the way they make you mad
'Cause you might not even know that you don't have it so bad
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh
[Chorus]
If you've got someone to love
And you've almost given up
Hold on tight despite the way they make you sad
'Cause I wish I would have known we didn't have it so bad
Hmm, I wish I would have known I didn't have it so bad
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh

So it was actually on Thanksgiving Day, and I had been let down by someone who was going to come visit me. And it was kind of my first few steps into exploring being a single 30-something-year-old person, after a marriage and after a huge point in my career, more notoriety. It was a really naked place. We live in this hookup culture; I’m for it. I’m for whatever makes you feel happy, as long as it’s safe, doesn’t hurt other people, fine. But I’ve just never experienced that, the dating app culture and all that. It was a little shocking. And it made me just think that we all have flaws.
