"Upgraded" lyrics
Three years this August
Since the day our love was discarded
Picture me stick-thin
Sitting in a restaurant with a coward who couldn't call it
Sushi on Smith St
Was debuting a new pair of flare jeans
When I spoke the words that you wouldn't say aloud
But you were clearly thinking in each given moment
"There's no way to know if I need to let you go
'Til we try being alone and embrace it"
So we shared a bottle of red
Bookended us in your bed
I didn't know it then, but let's face it
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex lover's indie pop song's playing
She's upgrading, she's upgrading
You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex-lover, honey-blonde Australian
Is upgrading
I was in Paris
Solo and no longer in hysterics
Picture me at peace
Colour back in my cheeks
I was processing all of the trauma
Travelled into Spain and then
When at a bar with old and new friends
I sought out a man that would later on take me home
It's too bad he practically was your clone
"There's no way to know if I need to let you go
'Til we try out moving on like we mean it"
So he kissed me on his couch
Reminded me there are other mouths
Didn't know it then 'til I leaned in
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex lover's indie pop song's playing
She's upgrading, she's upgrading
You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex-lover, honey-blonde Australian
Is upgrading
She's upgrading
"There's no way to know if I need to let you go
'Til we try being alone and embrace it"
Though I hated it when it was said
I'm forever in your debt
'Cause I didn't know it then, but let's face it
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex lover's indie pop song's playing
She's upgrading, she's upgrading
You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex-lover, honey-blonde Australian
Has upgraded
She's upgraded
She's upgraded
Upgraded
Since the day our love was discarded
Picture me stick-thin
Sitting in a restaurant with a coward who couldn't call it
Sushi on Smith St
Was debuting a new pair of flare jeans
When I spoke the words that you wouldn't say aloud
But you were clearly thinking in each given moment
"There's no way to know if I need to let you go
'Til we try being alone and embrace it"
So we shared a bottle of red
Bookended us in your bed
I didn't know it then, but let's face it
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex lover's indie pop song's playing
She's upgrading, she's upgrading
You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then
