Songfacts®:

Phoebe Bridgers dated her touring drummer and frequent collaborator Marshall Vore for several years. Though the romantic side of their relationship has vanished, they remain close to each other.

But I feel something when I see you now
I feel something when I see you

Bridgers explained of the song: "We dated for a few years, made music every day, and were extremely codependent. We became like family to each other, so our breakup was extremely tough."
Bridgers actually wrote the song with Marshall Vore. "If this tells you anything about our relationship, we wrote this song together, just like everything else," she said.
Bridgers originally titled the song "ICU," but she changed the name because of the ongoing 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Furrresh"It's amazing to me how much you can say
When you don't know what you're talking about"

These lines aren't about Marshall, but Marshall's mom. It's pretty clear: "I hate your mom, I hate it when she opens her mouth, it's amazing to me how much you can say, when you don't know what you're talking about"
