  • Wasting time, driving through the Eastside
    Doing my thing 'cause I can't decide if we're through
    Well, are we?
    And if we are, what we gonna do?

    Relationships, oh
    What's all this talk about relationships?
    It feels like everyone's caught up in it
    Oh, just you wait, you must be new to this
    (Goes like, goes like, goes like)

    You got a look on your face
    Like you're caught in a lie, lie, lie (goes, goes like, goes like)
    I got you all to myself
    But I keep asking why, why why in this relationship

    Baby, how can I explain
    When an innocent mistake turns into seventeen days?
    Fuckin' relationships
    Don't they end up all the same when there's no one left to blame?
    I think I'm in love but I can't stand fuckin' relationships
    (Goes, goes like, goes like)

    Why do I have a guilty conscience?
    I've always been averse to conflict
    But you really fucked with my confidence
    (Goes like, goes like, goes like)

    You gotta tell me the truth
    If you don't want to try (goes, goes like, goes like)
    I hear a voice in my head and it keeps asking
    "Why am I in this relationship?"

    Baby, how can I explain
    When an innocent mistake turns into seventeen days?
    Fuckin' relationships
    Don't they end up all the same when there's no one left to blame?
    I think I'm in love but I can't stand fuckin' relationships
    (Goes, goes like, goes like)

    (Relationships) how did we get ourselves into this?
    (Relationships) oh, this can't just be the way it is
    (Relationships) or is it just the shit our parents did
    And had to live with it in their relationship?
    (Relationships)
    (Relationships)
    Fuckin' relationships

    Baby, how can I explain
    When an innocent mistake turns into seventeen days?
    Fuckin' relationships
    Don't they end up all the same when there's no one left to blame?
    I think I'm in love,but I can't stand communicating it

    Let me tell you how it ends when we can't even pretend
    Feels like we're not even friends in this relationship
    But I would do it all again
    If you put down your defenses
    I think I'm in love, so why am I trying to escape from it?
    Maybe that's just how it goes when you're not fully grown
    But, baby, when you know, you know, fuckin' relationships
    So don't let it bring you down 'cause it all comes back around
    I think I'm in love but I can't stand fuckin' relationships Writer/s: Alana Mychal Haim, Ariel Zvi Rechtshaid, Buddy Ross, Danielle Sari Haim, Este Arielle Haim, Rostam Batmanglij, Tobias Macdonald Jesso
