Notes

At the first live performances of the song for a live audience, at the Purgatory in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June 7th, 2023,, Grace gave some background to the song:

This song I actually started writing about a subway sandwich. So, I tried to run away, because I was a very, very edgy pre-teen. … I’m still really … So, I tried to run away and had like a knife – like a steak knife from your kitchen drawer, and I was like – ohh God, I am never going home, my life sucks. And I went like three hours, and I went to Subway, and I spent all the money that I had there. I didn’t make it 24 hours. But I was reminiscing about that memory, and I was thinking about Subway, and somehow it became this very vulnerable song. I really hope you like it. A lot of people don’t like it . It’s been a little controversial behind the scenes. But it’s close to my heart.
