Lyrics

Spent all summer missing you
When I was home waiting to move
Laughing for hours on our phone calls
Then I'd hang up and feel the downfall
Spent all summer missing you

But you want to visit me soon
Oh God, I know I'm doomed

Setback
When I pick you up
Time's gonna reset
All my feelings
I'm just gonna relapse
I'm gonna relapse into you
Temptation
When you'll be laying on the beach half naked
When you'll be sleeping next to me
I'll hate it
I'll hate it
'Cause when we do
You're a setback
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're a setback

I've been going on some dates
There's lots of hot guys in LA
It's a good city for attraction
Don't feel the need for your distraction, no
But I'm scared that it'll change

I'll setback
When I pick you up
Time's gonna reset
All my feelings
I'm just gonna relapse
I'm gonna relapse into you
Temptation
When you'll be laying on the beach half naked
When you'll be sleeping next to me
I'll hate it
I'll hate it
'Cause when we do
You're a setback
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're a setback

All of the feelings
They're gonna flood back
Simmons in Soho
Smoking in Amsterdam
What am I thinking
You have to go back
Your home is London
I know that we won't last

I'll setback
When I pick you up
Time's gonna reset
All my feelings
I'm just gonna relapse
I'm gonna relapse into you
Temptation
When you'll be laying on the beach half naked
When you'll be sleeping next to me
I'll hate it
I'll hate it
'Cause when we do
You're a setback
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're just a setback

All of the feelings
They're gonna flood back
Simmons in Soho
Smoking in Amsterdam
What am I thinking
You have to go back
Your home is London
I know that we won't last
