[Verse 1]
Went to the forest to be alone
And figure out why I felt so lonely
They say the best company's the one you hold
I guess I never really loved me

[Pre-chorus 1]
Maybe it's within the stars
Maybe it was a random
Loneliness within us both
Seemed to work in tandem
Stumble upon your embrace
Same signal, different face
Squishing into the panicked brains
Do you feel the same?

[Chorus 1]
Jinx, you owe me a soda
'Cause we got the same palm lines
And the same soft eyes
Yeah, you owe me a soda
Leaning to kiss me at the same time
Say you'll always be mine
You owe me a fucking soda
'Cause you way too fine
It's illegal, it's a crime
Jinx, you owe me a soda (Was it here?)

[Verse 2]
Laid all my burdens down
And you did the same with me
Two celestial lovers bound to the city
Never been loved so good
And fucked so good
I know you’re with me

[Pre-chorus 2]
Walked around the cemetery
Said, "Do you wanna lay here with me?"
(That's impressive)
[Gibberish]

[Chorus 2]
Jinx, you owe me a soda
When you touch my thighs
I spread them wide
Yeah, you owe me a soda
When you pull my waist
And you have a taste
You owe me a fucking soda
When we're loving at the same time
And cumming at the same time, mmm-mmm
Jinx, you owe me a

[Intro]
[Laughs]
(What?)
(He's a real boy)
(I would love to do, that's my dream)
(Ah, one day)
Jinx

[Verse 1]
Went to the forest to be alone
And figure out why I felt so lonely
They say the best company's the one you hold
I guess I never really loved me

[Pre-chorus 1]
Maybe it's within the stars
Maybe it was a random
Loneliness within us both
Seemed to work in tandem
Stumble upon your embrace
Same signal, different face
Squishing into the panicked brains
Do you feel the same?

[Chorus 1]
Jinx, you owe me a soda
'Cause we get the same palm lines
And the same soft eyes
Yeah, you owe me a soda
Leaning to kiss me at the same time
Say you'll always be mine
You owe me a fucking soda
'Cause you way too fine
It's illegal, it's a crime
Jinx, you owe me a soda
Mmmh

[Verse 2]
I laid all my burdens down
And you did the same with me
Two celestial lovers bound to the city
Never been loved so good
And fucked so good
I know you're with me
(I know you're with me)

[Pre-chorus 2]
Walked around the cemetery
Said, "Do you wanna lay here with me?"
A sad tombstone under a willow tree, yeah
Just like the one where we-
Mmhh-mmh
(Eh, I did the melody differently when I wrote it)
Yee-oooh

[Chorus 2]
Jinx, you owe me a soda
When you touch my thighs
I spread them wide
Yeah, you owe me a soda
When you pull my waist
And you have a taste
(Ah, I was supposed to write another thing)
You owe me a fucking soda
When we're loving at the same time
And cumming at the same time
Jinx

[Outro]
(Yeah, there's a lot to freestyle)
(Everything should be different, I feel)

Trivia

• The whole song seems to play as a freestyle as Melanie forms gibberish words in some parts, and attempts to create a concrete melody over the loop instrumental playing along.
• It's believed that there may be another demo self produced by Melanie, "Eh, I did the melody differently when I wrote it". It has not officially been confirmed to exist.
