Seems like all the good daysAre behind you again(They're falling out)Can you switch it for meOr snooze it SZA friend

I can't cut you offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off, offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off

Controlling my handsControlling my friendsControlling I thinkEmotions my bankEmotions time wasteWe so damn wastedWe smoked and drained itYou made me age quickSorrow is painlessYou made me pain sickI hate to talk shitYou like it toxicAnd I struggle to let you go

All the good daysAre behind you againCan you switch it for meOr snooze it SZA friend

I can't cut you off, offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off, offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off

Snip my bihCan't do it allRelationshipsI dreamt it allYou and an eventWith a broken clockPlease exist in my heart of heart

Please exist baby(In my heart of heart)I've been thinking of you baby(In my heart of heart)I been wanting you lately(In my heart of heart)You will always be my baby(In my heart of heart)

All the good daysAre behind you againCan you switch it for meOr snooze it SZA friend

I can't cut you off, offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off, offI can't cut you offI can't cut you off

MusicLines 1 to 2

Good Days

SZA's 2020 single about holding on to hope after a love ends. The hook opens on its title and puts those days in the past.

MusicLine 5

Snooze

SZA's 2022 hit from SOS about never wanting to miss a minute with someone. He wishes he could press it on the breakup instead.

The storyLines 11 to 23

The verse runs through everything this relationship has a hold on, and nothing is left out, which suits a song named for the singer whose debut album is Ctrl. He knows they're bad for each other and still can't end it, which is all the hook says.

MusicLines 37 to 38

Broken Clocks

A 2017 single from SZA's Ctrl about time moving on while she looks back. Here it's a moment with her that stopped time.

The storyLine 57

From here to the end of the bridge, nearly every line is built from SZA song titles out of Ctrl (2017), its 2022 deluxe edition, and SOS (2022). He tells the story of this relationship in her words, the same way the song borrows her name.

MusicLine 57

2AM and Tread Carefully

Two songs from SZA's vault that she added to Ctrl's deluxe edition for its fifth anniversary in 2022. The bridge opens on both of them.

MusicLine 58

Love Galore

Ctrl's 2017 single with Travis Scott, about wanting more from someone who keeps it casual. Miles, in the same line, is another song from Ctrl's deluxe edition.

MusicLine 59

Wavy (Interlude)

A short Ctrl track featuring James Fauntleroy. Its title is half his name, so he slips himself into her album.

MusicLine 60

Prom

A Ctrl song about not being ready to grow up, paired with the school night he says he never had. Anything, at the end of the line, is another Ctrl song.

MusicLine 61

Supermodel

The song that opens Ctrl, an open letter to someone who left her feeling like she wasn't enough.

MusicLine 62

Drew Barrymore

Ctrl's lead single, named for the actor, about feeling out of place and wanting to be wanted. Normal Girl, also on Ctrl, ends the line, flipped to say she isn't one.

MusicLine 63

Go Gina

A Ctrl song about letting loose and refusing to be held back, chanted here like a cheer.

MusicLine 64

Pretty Little Birds

A slow Ctrl track featuring Isaiah Rashad, and one more title in the run.

MusicLine 65

SOS

SZA's 2022 album, named for the distress signal. The line spells out the phrase those letters are often said to stand for.

MusicLine 66

Love Language

An SOS song about learning how to love someone the way they need. The line folds another SOS title in right before it.

MusicLine 67

Used

An SOS track featuring Don Toliver, tucked into the start of the line.

MusicLine 68

Gone Girl

An SOS song about needing space and still wanting to be held onto. The line pairs it with another SOS title and repeats it like a plea.

MusicLine 71

SZA

Solána Rowe, the St. Louis-born, New Jersey-raised R&B singer behind Ctrl and SOS. The song is named for her and built from her catalog, and the last line asks someone to be that kind of friend to him.
