separation your back together and if

[Applause]

you thank you

hello NPR first and foremost I've been

watching this show everyone says this

whatever you guys are great you guys

know you're great um and this is this is

such an honor and I I feel like as

someone who I started writing songs when

I was probably 10 or 11 years old they

weren't very good but they got better

maybe later and when I first started it

was kind of in a room like this you're

you're in a a room with like very dry

walls and and there's no Reverb it

doesn't sound like as maybe as as nice

as when there's headphones and in in

studio but there's something so real

about it and so special and now when I

write these songs that you're hearing um

this is exactly how I wrote them in a

room with you know this energy and and

and people I love and producers I love

and um that songs really special to me

this next song is a very funny story of

how it came to be

um some people know me for I guess being

explicitly horny

it's actually not so simple as that um

it's something that really was a was a

beautiful and happy accident on my last

tour I started doing these these outros

um as part of a song that these were

lyrics that never made it to the end of

the song they were all like reject

lyrics and lyrics that should honestly

never be heard by the general public and

and as a joke I was like well Boston can

handle it you know so like let's just

throw one in for Boston and Boston

handled it so well that I was like what

about Chicago and then and then it kind

of kept going and and I think I had this

like Limitless uh feeling when I started

writing short and sweet and I have a

best friend her name's Paloma and we

were uh we were having like this weekend

in an Airbnb her and I had to split this

king bed and I'd never had a sleepover

with her before we were sharing a bed

we'd always be in like separate rooms so

it was like kind of a test for our

friendship and and I don't know if you

guys have ever slept with anybody in a

bed yeah show of hands

anyone very humble modest folks

here thank you for your bravery um yeah

no I I I had this sleepover with her and

we're like talking and it's like we fall

asleep at the exact same time like no

one had to say like okay I think we

should probably head to sleep now we

both just shut our eyes went to bed shut

up and then no one was kicking no one

was snoring and we both woke up but the

same like you know when you roll like

over and it's like very peaceful and

you're like good morning good morning

you don't have to like punch them to

wake them up she just woke up and I was

like we have really good bed

Cam and she was like we do have really

good bed Cam and so I I saved this as a

title and um then I met a guy and I was

like we'd have really good bed cam in a

different way than I have with

Paloma and I wrote this song she doesn't

make money on it so I give her a lot of

credit

my one g

I was in a she dress the day that we met

we were both in a rush we talked for a

sec you friended me up so we could

connect and what are the odds you sent

me a text and now the next thing I know

I'm like manifest that's your oversight

I digress got me scrolling like out of

breath got me going

like who's the cute boy with the white

jacket and the thck accent like maybe

it's all in my head but I bet we have

really good bed

can you talk so sweet when you're doing

things looking at me

know I bet we really good come right on

me I mean camaraderie said you're not in

my time Z but you want to be Where Art

Thou why not upon me see it in my mind

let's f the

prophecy who's the cute guy with the

wide blue eyes and the big

bad I know it's son a

bit but I bet we

good when you

do you looking I know reason

I'm I bet we yeah really

good and I bet we both arrive at the

same

time and I'll bet the therat at
