Zeke goes on to show the girl he cares and that the door is still open even though she has caused him pain, singing “this coulda been easy / But you had to have me come over for the evening / ‘Cause I want somebody, but there’s nobody but you.” The lyrics only highlight Finn’s romantic obsession while the song’s smooth soundscapes, kick back rhythms and yearning vocals are seductive and enticing just like the romantic interest Finn is still trying to capture. NoMBe adds his distinctive touch to the track with his soul-drenched vocals and innovative guitar riffs.
