Love the flow of this track. The message rivals “Irreplaceable”' but from the man’s perspective. It’s pop-punk but this also rises to the level of boy band-style anthem. The lyrics of this track are excellent and the story is great. I love that she’s making him crazy- then she cheats and he’s like “I won't miss ya, At least not as much as I missed her” (oof) is right! It’s also really awesome how this band's vocals and harmonies as if this band was chosen by vocal compatibility- they sound great together!


 
And I personally felt the gaslight joke. My GF always says “what does that even mean??” whenever I reference it (not towards her just like someone else she’s not crazy) and I actually think I have no idea myself and can’t bother Google it again. One note. Guys at this age- we are insufferably annoying. We have nonstop bromances. Video games. We don’t listen. Sorry for breaking bro code but…. Ya - 3 sides to every story: Yours, Mine, and the truth. Also, occasionally when I hear a song and I like it I test myself. I stop. Check out like 900 other songs and come back. Still, like it? Yup. Then it’s settled. I enjoyed this over and over again. Good job!

P.S. check out the music video. 3 stories all happening simultaneously then go straight up garage band was awesome production!!

Buggin out about an ex of mine
 
Livin' in Anaheim ("the other side of the country!")
 
Turnin' nothin' into somethin'
 
Every month and then apologize ("lemme see your phone!")
 
Call me selfish
 
Then you'll call me back
 
Then I'll slip a wrong word
 
We're back off track (GOD!)
 
You're turnin' nothin' into somethin'
 
Every month and then apologize
 
And say we need that
 
Right time and right place
 
See what good that would make
 
When we aren't on the same page
 
Aren't you sick of fighting?
 
Are you finished talking?
 
Don't you interrupt me
 
We're shouting again
 
Foolin' round with that old ex of your's
 
Look how the tables turn ("well, well, how the turntables")
 
The bigger picture's I won't miss ya
 
At least not as much as I missed her ("oof")
 
Just admit it, love, I know you did it, love
 
So pack your bags and take your shit and call it quits, love

Aren't you sick of fighting? (aren't you sick of fighting?)
 
Are you finished talking? (are you finished talking?)
 
Don't you interrupt me
 
We're shouting again
 
"Gaslight, did one of your stupid friends teach you that word?"
