In “rubberband,“ Tate addresses her ex with a regretful tone, taking the blame for ruining their relationship. To cope with anxiety, people often use rubberbands to break the downward spiral and snap back into reality. Tate uses the same concept when it comes to remembering how she broke her relationship. The song utilizes a bass and synthetic piano to create a nostalgic atmosphere, one that portrays a hopeless Tate as she copes with the hardships of moving on. Tate employs a rhyme scheme us...

rubberband lyrics

Was it a wasted couple months?
Sneaking outta the window, spending nights in limbo
Was it all there was for us?
Midnight driving, running through highland
Does it make me the criminal?
That I let you go
That I broke us and left
I hate that I never know
Why you're still so caught up in my head
I know you wanted a promise
I wasn't ready, can I be honest?
Never knew what I had until I lost it
And I got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
And I snap it every time that I think about your lips
Got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
Almost break it every time when I'm tryin' to forget
I know that I have never been good at this
Love you in a second, next you know I'm checking out of moments I shouldn't miss
Now I'm looking through the photos
Wishing I was different
And I got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
And I snap it every time that I think about your lips
Got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
Almost break it every time when I'm tryin' to forget
Tryin' to forget (tryin' to forget)
Tryin' to forget (to forget, to forget, to forget)
Tryin' to forget
I know you wanted a promise
I wasn't ready, can I be honest?
Never knew what I had until I lost it
And I got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
And I snap it every time that I think about your lips
Got this rubber band on my wrist, on my wrist
Almost break it every time when I'm tryin to forget
Tryin' to forget (tryin' to forget)
Tryin' to forget
Tryin' to forget
Hmm-hmm
Tryin' to forget (tryna forget)
Tryin' to forget (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Tryin' to forget
