Nicknames

(album: Meet You There - 2021)

We used to give each other nicknames
Now we can't even be out in the same place
I wasn't gonna stay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?
You used to be my end game
Now you can't even look at me the same way
I know we're not okay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?

Don't cause a scene
'Cause everyone's here and I don't wanna leave
Like last Halloween
Starting all the drama like we're seventeen

But that was then, this is now
Do you still think about all the things that we said?
I know you love to forget

We used to give each other nicknames
Now we can't even be out in the same place
I wasn't gonna stay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?
You used to be my end game
Now you can't even look at me the same way
I know we're not okay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?

Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

You get to me
Tryna win a war with jealousy
And you still believe
That we can just ignore our history

But that was then, this is now
Do you still think about all the things that we said?
I know you love to forget

We used to give each other nicknames
Now we can't even be out in the same place
I wasn't gonna stay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?
You used to be my end game
Now you can't even look at me the same way
I know we're not okay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?

Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right now

Can we, can we just pretend?
Can we, can we just forget?

We used to give each other nicknames
Now we can't even be out in the same place
I wasn't gonna stay
But can we just pretend to be friends right now?

Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Right now
(Can we just pretend to be friends right now?)
Right now
(Can we just pretend to be friends right now?)
Right now
Can we, can we just pretend?
Can we, can we just be friends?
