Tema[]
Esta canción trata sobre sentir algo por alguien que no está disponible. La letra expresa el anhelo del narrador, posiblemente Cry Baby, y la lucha por mantener ocultas sus emociones. El coro reflexiona sobre la tentación de correr riesgos y la incertidumbre de su relación. El tema explora las complejidades del amor no correspondido y la idea de que el momento oportuno juega un papel importante en los asuntos del corazón.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Damn, standing at your front door, wish I rang the bell
There's some crazy things with you in my dreams I won't tell
I'm a little too anxious for you
There's a little too much to know about me
[Pre-Coro]
Call you when I’m alone
Will you wait up 'till they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when?
[Coro]
I'm tryna get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
But I don’t wanna reach for your hand
Right under the table, fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison and fall into a bed
In another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed, I keep my fingers crossed
[Estrofa 2]
Help, why do I have to keep this to myself?
Wrote a letter to you in blood that I'll never mail
It's a little too honest for you
There's a picture of us that we'll never see, oh
[Pre-Coro]
Call you when I'm alone
Will you wait up 'till they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when?
[Coro]
I'm tryna get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
But I don’t wanna reach for your hand
Right under the table, fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison and fall into a bed
In another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed, I keep my fingers crossed
[Outro]
I bit my tongue
As they watched you run
Back from throwing rocks
Right outside my window
I'll continue keeping shut
With my foolish love
Timing's always rough
Waiting for the right turn takes a life time
[Estrofa]
Damn, standing at your front door, wish I rang the bell
There's some crazy things with you in my dreams I won't tell
I'm a little too anxious for you
There's a little too much to know about me
[Pre-Coro]
Call you when I’m alone
Will you wait up 'till they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call me when?
[Coro]
You're tryna get yourself into trouble
You know I came with someone else
Boy, you wanna reach for my hand
Right under the table, fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison and fall into a bed
In another life, would we make it?
Fingers crossed, I keep my fingers crossed

Curiosidades[]
- La introducción de esta pista muestra la canción "After Dark" de Mr. Kitty.[1]
- Un fragmento de una versión editada de la canción utilizando tomas vocales desechadas de archivos de sesión oficiales se filtró en enero de 2023 a través de una llamada de voz en Discord.
- El mismo día, un fragmento de un supuesto concepto instrumental de la canción también se filtró a través de la misma llamada de voz de Discord; lo más probable es que sea una versión editada utilizando temas de versiones anteriores.
- La primera demo tiene un cambio de perspectiva.
