Then I guess I wish I wish I wish you loved me less. I wake up to the silence in the hallway. Keys are on the counter by the phone. We used to talk about the future all day. Now I’m just learning how to be alone. And it kills me that you’re being so damn good to me when a part of me just wants a man to (inaudible) but you’re just sorry. Yeah you’re so sorry. If loving me means packing up the boxes in the hall, then I guess I wish we never damned it all. If loving me means crying on the curb at LAX then I guess I wish I wish I wish you loved me less. Maybe then it wouldn’t hurt to see you walk away. Maybe then id find the right words to make you stay. But you love me way too much to let us text so I guess I wish I wish I wish you loved me less.

Tracks 1-7: Pink, the part where they fall in love (girl so in love).

​

Tracks 8-13: Blue, the part where they feel sad even though they love (you seem pretty sad).

​

Track 7, which lies on the boundary between these two parts, is purple: the color

​

purple that results from mixing pink and blue. The lyrics mention that your red and my blue mix to form purple, but

towards the end of the track, they say they mixed so much that they turned black, leading into "The Cure," the starting track for the "you seem pretty sad" part.

​

I really love these kinds of details 🥹

1. cigarette smoke — 5:40

2. the cure — 4:57

3. scared of my guitar — 4:23

4. u + me = <3 — 4:07

"I was in love at the time I started writing this album, and I was really interested not only in the joy it brought, but also in the insecurities, the longing, and the fear that came along with it.

I always say that my favorite love songs are the ones that have a touch of melancholy-those are always the ones that tug at the heart the most. And that's what I was really trying to capture in the album. I hope I managed to do it."

OR: This album is about my first time being in an adult relationship; it’s me discovering what romantic love looks like in real time. I’ve been in relationships before that were really exciting and tumultuous in a teenage way, but this was my first time being in a real, “big girl” relationship. And when you’re in an intimate relationship, it holds up a mirror and shows you parts of yourself that you would never normally see. That was an endless source of inspiration – something that I’m still mining.
