[2][3] In the opening verse, Zach Bryan laments the failure of a recent relationship, a drug-fueled imagination that he was in love with his partner and a past romantic encounter with her ("Adderall and white-lace bras that makes you fall in love / You left your blue jeans in my pickup truck"), before expressing frustration that his friends in New York City lack "self-control and empathy" and waste their time drinking in the bar but admitting he misses the city more than his home.
[3][5] In the chorus, Bryan addresses the death of his mother ("I'vе waited by the telеphone all fuckin' night / For someone that ain't ever gonna call"),[3][4][5] which he reflects upon with memories of spending time with her in the second verse.
