"Upgraded (Reimagined)" 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 Street, 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
Book-ended 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
Picture me stick-thin, sitting in a restaurant
With a coward who couldn't call it
Sushi on Smith Street, 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
Book-ended 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

Turn up your go-to radio station
Your ex lover, honey-blonde Australian
Has upgraded, she's upgraded
She's upgraded
Upgraded
