[Em] You said you're 11 minutes away.
It's been 45.
Where are you?
Have you stood me up?"
And that's so sad because I wanted people to see that image so directly of this kid
waiting in a coffee shop or a bar or a restaurant or a park bench or outside of newsagents or
a cinema or just on his phone.
Heartbroken because it feels like she stood him up when it's not her fault she got into an accident.
[E]
[Em] [N] Me and Halsey met and I had this idea about this tragic accident and it reminded her of
a brand new song.
She was like, I've loved this song all my life and I would love to do something like
this with you.
As soon as she got on the mic and sung the hook, I was just like, that just sounds mental.
We're in the studio and I was like, because we did programmed drums on it, I was like,
man, it just doesn't sound right.
It just sounds too ordinary.
I was just like, it needs to sound like a Blink-182 record.
And everyone just kind of looked up at me.
And my producer was like, yeah man, it does.
And Ash was like, well, I can just text Ash Halsey.
I was like, I can just text Travis Barker.
I was like, what?
Of course you can.
And she just did it.
And 10 minutes later, Travis Barker was in the studio and I was just like
And I have missed you all day.
I'm 11 minutes away.
So why aren't you here?
It tells a story of them breaking up because of the way modern society teaches us that
being successful or powerful is kind of more important than loving someone else.
So they break up and they spend years apart and they're kind of going to uni, doing whatever.
A couple years later, they're like, I can't do this, man.
I can't live without this person in my life.
So they agree to kind of come back together and meet and talk things over.
And hopefully he'll swish her up like an old fucking romantic movie and kiss her in the rain.
From her perspective, it's almost like, why have you not been here all this time?
Why have you not been in my life?
From his perspective, it's a lot more direct.
I want it to be so direct, like I'm just having a conversation with a lyric that's so self-explanatory.
But I wanted to put in little kind of Easter eggs and little kind of details of an accident.
I think I missed your call, I'm on the other line.
I see there's a parallel universe, like I've flatlined or I'm on the other side.
I'm moving towards the other side.
Right now, as people, we're so focused on what's next.
We never take a minute to think or to live in the moment because we've got too much to
think about because we have so much in front of us.
That is so hard because in the instance of this song, you don't realize what you've lost
until it's been taken away from you.
And when you've been taken away from you, all you want is to get the time back.
It's that fingerprint across the heart that's never going to go away.
You spill red wine on a white t-shirt, you're fucked.
You're the fucking acid to my alkaline.
You need that.
That's what you need.
We're totally polar opposites as people, but for the sake of fucking science, they need
to be together or just everything goes to shit.
When something is confronting you, you confront it back at all angles.
If something's coming from the left, you put your shield up to surround you 360.
And if your partner's on the right, you've got your wall up.
You're battling constantly.
And that's what the middle finger represents.
It represents that angst in the relationship that I loved you, but there was something wrong.
It's me going into my head seeing those last days when we broke up that I've been reliving
for these years when she's not been there.
And this is kind of me reliving this before I'm going to speak to her about it.
Something wasn't adding up.
The lipstick arithmetic didn't stick and now I'm sick throwing fits.
It didn't add up.
But all I realized it was the best equation in my fucking life.
And it didn't add up because I didn't want it to add up at that time because I had something
else going on in my life that I thought was more important or that I thought was going
to make me a better human.
But you know what?
It just fucking didn't.
When I was writing it, I was thinking about the scene in the notebook.
Do you know when she hits him for that one second and he says,
all right, fuck it, I'm leaving and gets in the car.
And then she's like, wait, we're not really doing it.
We're not really doing it.
It's just rubbish because as humans, we get angry for one second and we come back.
And it fucking chokes me up, man, because I felt it.
It's like that pride of, fuck you, this is over.
And then you go, oh, fuck, no, no, it's not really over, is it?
And then he sees it every day and he wishes he could take it back.
And finally, he's going to get this moment to calm his head and to calm everything down.
But so cruelly, it gets ripped away from him and they never get to see each other
and say that we were wrong.
We were just stupid kids, man.
And we belong together, you know?
With the bridge, this is her talking from the other side.
And that's why in the video, the five stages of grief, at the end, it goes to acceptance
because he realizes, yeah, she's not here in person, but she's here in here.
She's kind of almost begging him, just like, don't forget about me.
I just want to freeze.
I can make you more than what you are.
And now I see you standing all alone.
I never thought the world would turn to stone.
She's almost watching him in the cafe waiting for her and she can't do anything about it.
She's kind of banging on the cafe window, but she's just a ghost.
And it's dark, but I just, with this song, man, I want to make people feel things through my words.
That isn't a negative thing.
I don't want it to be like, oh my God, you're so cruel.
Why did you do that?
It's like, no, it just represents this thing where these two kids were just perfect for each other.
And I hate it.
I'm like, why, man?
Why did they get taken away from each other?
And it just represents that I wanted the audience to know how close they were and how perfect
they were for each other.
[Em] I love this because it kind of gives me
It's been 45.
Where are you?
Have you stood me up?"
