[Verse 1]

This has got to be a joke

The universe fuckin' hates my guts

Remindin’ me you and I don't spell us

We share different postal codes

Maybe that's why I never got the memo

She’s the real deal and I was just a pretty demo

[Pre-Chorus]

And yet my world remains the whole of you to this day

Doesn't matter what my location says

I'm always tryna get to you

But shit just happens all the time

[Chorus]

When I'm there, you're not

You're here, I'm caught up with my job

And your clingy ex comes back a lot

Then she leaves and you shoot your shot

But there's someone new I’ve got

And the cycle never stops, no, no

But there’s nobody else I want, oh, oh

Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break

I’m never giving up against all odds

No, no, no, no-oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

You're the mind-game mastermind, but

What I'd give to make that mind mine to lose, oh, yeah

'Cause I know you’ve got somebody

My friends say I could have anybody now that I'm somebody

But I don't care if I'm nobody to you, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I know it's pathetic, but I couldn't care less

I'd wait until the stars uncross and say yes

I'll always try to get you, ooh

[Chorus]

When I'm there, you're not

You're here, I'm caught up with my job

And your clingy ex comes back a lot

Then she leaves and you shoot your shot

But there's someone new I've got

And the cycle never stops, no, no

But there's nobody else I want, oh

Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break

I'm never giving up against all odds

[Bridge]

Never in my damn favor

I don't want you for later

Never was much of a waiter

But I'd wait on you to drink you in

Guess it serves me right for even thinkin'

When I'm there you should, I don't know

Like, call up your boss, probably take the day off

Maybe we could change the odds

[Chorus]

When I'm there, you're not

You're here, I'm caught up with my job

And your clingy ex comes back a lot

Then she leaves and you shoot your shot

But there's someone new I've got

And the cycle never stops, no, no (No, no)

But there's nobody else I want, oh

Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break

I'm never giving up against all odds
