Lyrics Billie Eilish and FINNEAS on LUNCH - Billie Eilish

I remember like one of the verses was written
After like a conversation I had with a friend
And they were telling me about this like
Just complete animal magnetism they were feeling
And I was like I just was like
"Oh I'm gonna pretend to be them for a second and just write"

But they buy so much stuff
Was such a funny, like actually a feeling, right?
Like I could, uh

I could buy her so much stuff
I'm like oh my God, think about all the things I could buy

Yeah, and that line has very little to do with money
And a lot to do with just like wanting to (wanting to) give somebody stuff, you know
Not to compare art or to besmirch stuff that we're proud of
But I think one of our big goals on this record
When we were looking back at everything we'd ever made was like
I think if you can be funny, you can be so much more serious
I think you shouldn't listen to "Lunch" and think about who Billy wants to eat for lunch
You should think about who you want to eat for lunch (wow)
That's the whole deal
Like that's, but that's the whole deal

Also that's a metaphor, y'all

I don't listen to like a song about love and think about being in love
I don't listen to "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds and think about his wife
I think about who I'm in love with
That's the deal
