lyrics
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl, noooo
And by straight, I mean in quotes
It's been a couple years now since I've been somebody's first
And so with her, I wanted to be really sure that she was sure
Because I cared about her (it's true, I did)
It wasn't just a fling
It was like unlike anything that I had felt in a quite a while
'Cause, well, she was was special (yup, yup)
And the fact that I happen to be a demisexual
Meaning that I need a connection on an emotional and intellectual level
And yeah she gave me both
Evoked a feeling
Felt like I was dreaming
We were standing in my kitchen
That's where we had our first kiss
When I went in for it I didn't expect that it would lead to this
Being such a mess (mess, mess)
Now I'm overanalyzing, agonizing over every single text (text, text)
I'm not able to handle this, I am ill-equipped
Because I overthink everything
And my mind is my enemy in the face of uncertainty
Well, this babe's the one hurting me
But she's a vegan and she's passionate about all the things that I believe in
And it was seeming that she was feeling the same way that I had been feeling
But maybe she was misleading or maybe I was misreading the meaning
When she was in my bed with me
Begging me and telling me that she liked me too
Yeah, guess I had that misconstrued
Except it's pretty obvious that she's confused
'Cause now she's saying she is only into dudes
I'm like okay maybe tell that to your vagina
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl, noooo
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (nope)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (don't)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl, noooo
(no, no no, no, don't)
I mean, well to be fair, she isn't straight
I mean, well to be fair now, every time that we would hang out late
She'd indicate that she was game
But to be safe I had to gauge the situation
And evaluate the way that this would play out (play, play, play, out)
It turned out I was wrong
It turned out her intention differed from mine all along
But come on, she really could've told me
That she only wanted to explore and nothing more
See, I would've been sold
She could've gotten shown the ropes
We slowly were getting to know each other
And I really started liking this girl wholly
Just everything about her
Wouldn't rethink our encounters
Because despite the heartache I faced when she claimed she isn't bi (I)
Still reaped the benefits of experimentation, my (my)
Desire was just to have known up front not wonder why
She switched her vibe up after I was hoping I could make her mine
She curbed her curiosity so we did not continue
I would've shown my Katniss side and volunteered as tribute
Because regardless I still wanted this hot younger babe
At least we had those nights that felt like I just won the hunger games
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (nope)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (don't)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl, noooo
(no, no, no, no, don't)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (nope)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl (don't)
Can't be falling, can't be falling for a "straight" girl, noooo
Noooooo
