[Spoken intro - rock girl, dry] Okay so… she's late. again. because the eyeliner wasn't symmetrical. …both eyes have lids. this is not surgery. ...hahahaha! [Verse 1 - rock girl, flat and annoyed] She takes forty minutes just to leave the house Perfume so strong it's knocking out the mouse Parks the car diagonally across three spots Then checks her lipstick while the traffic rots I said "we're late" she said "I look amazing" I said "the restaurant closed" she said "still slaying" [Verse 1b - girly girl, sweet and unbothered] She showed up in boots and a band tee again No blush, no highlight, not even a blend I offered her bronzer, she looked at me like I'd handed her homework on a Friday night I said "you'd look cute" she said "I look fine" I said "just try it" she said "draw the line" [Chorus - both together, chaos] We are different species Living in the same zip code She thinks dry shampoo is self care I think dry shampoo is a cry for help Different species Don't know how we're still friends She'd die without her skincare routine I'd die before I started one Send help. [Verse 2 - rock girl] She colour-codes her closet by the season Has seventeen lip glosses "for a reason" Cries at commercials, cries at puppy videos Cries because the font on the menu was "too close" I handed her a coffee she said "is this oat?" I said "it's hot and brown" she said "I'll take a note" [Verse 2b - girly girl] She owns one pair of jeans she's worn since 2014 I asked her "don't you want a change?" She said "they still fit, what do you mean" Her idea of a spa day is a long shower Her idea of perfume is …I don't think she has one [Pre-Chorus - both, overlapping] Rock girl: I don't understand you Girly girl: I don't understand you either Rock girl: and yet— Both: here we are [Chorus - both] We are different species Living in the same zip code She thinks dry shampoo is self care I think dry shampoo is a cry for help Different species Don't know how we're still friends She'd die without her skincare routine I'd die before I started one Send help. [Bridge - rock girl, suddenly sincere] But okay fine she talked me through the worst night of my life at 3am with a face mask on looking insane and somehow it helped [Bridge - girly girl, quietly honest] And she showed up to my thing in those same jeans no makeup and nobody cared because she was just… there [Final Chorus - both, warm chaos] We are different species Somehow the same soul She drives me absolutely crazy I think I'd be lost without her though Different species Still in the same zip code She's got seventeen lip glosses I've got three band tees and a dog …works out. [Outro - spoken, both talking at once] Rock girl: next time you park like that I'm leaving you there Girly girl: next time wear something that isn't black Rock girl: this IS colour, it's very dark grey— Girly girl: that's black. Rock girl: …it's charcoal. Both: [laughing] oh my god.
