L next to me one degree of
separation your back together and if
that's true you'll just have to taste me

feel his lips you're feeling mine every
time you Brea his air just know I was

[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
69 and I'll bet it's even
