The album closes with the gently tragic “Bad For You,” a song steeped in intense longing and loneliness. Nolan finds herself at home, haunted by the specter of a man who lingers in her thoughts through long, solitary nights.

“I wonder sometimes if I pick people as partners because they’re going to deliver the loss and longing,” Nolan reflects. “This goes back to my childhood; it’s a consistent theme in my songs.”

Lyrics

I’ll do what I’m told, now just leave me be
Stop lurking behind and quit pressuring me
I’ll follow the rules, and I’ll make like I should
Won’t toe the line yeah, I’m gonna be good

Darkness falls first slow, then fast
I’m trying hard but I can’t see past
All that I want is still buried in you
I crossed the line that split us in two

You know I got it bad for you
I still wanna tell ya
Put you under my spell, yeah
How come you don’t come ‘round here no more?
I’m gonna ask you if you’ll come on back

I’ve locked you in and I’ve broken the key
I’ll climb the walls just to make you believe
This heart is on fire and it’s burning for you
This love doesn’t tire even when I’m begging it to

You know I got it bad for you
I still wanna tell ya
Put you under my spell, yeah
How come you don’t come ‘round here no more?
I’m gonna ask you if you’ll come on back

You know I got it bad for you
You know I got it bad; I got it so bad
You know I got it bad for you
I still wanna tell ya
Put you under my spell, yeah
