I Want a Girl in Hotpants
Cello quartet
Lyrics
i want a girl in hotpants
crop top, thick thighs, no plans
i want a girl who’s reckless
sucks my vape, forgets her necklace
i want a girl with two phones
one for memes and one for thrones
i want a girl who’s moody
swears in bed but prays like Judy
i want a girl who’s grounded
not like you, who left me hounded
i want a girl who’s toxic
but like… sexy, not neurotic
i want a girl who smells like weed
but quotes love poems when i bleed
i want a girl who’d break my lease
then pay it off in pearl-white fleece
i want a girl with big hair
witchy rings and zero care
i want a girl who calls me “doll”
and spits my name against the wall
not you
not almost you
not wish.com you
i want the version you post through
i want a girl in hotpants
trust fund, sharp tongue, no plans
i want a girl who’s perfect
not you—just better, and with better hands
i want a girl with chill eyes
not one who begs then gaslights
i want a girl who shows up
not one who cancels ‘cause she froze up
i want a girl who’s stable
not you crying on my table
i want a girl who likes girls
not one who ghosted me, then kissed Pearl
i want a girl who’s honest
not one who broke the bro-code promise
i want a girl who fights fair
not one who shagged my roomie’s heir
i want a girl who stays late
not one who lied about a soulmate
i want a girl with taste
not one who sent me that thirst trap waste
i want a girl in hotpants
heart cold, glass nails, slow dance
i want a girl who’s god-tier
not you—you’re mid, and you cried all year
i matched a girl named tiffany
she said “u up?” and called me queen
i faked a moan in soft pink light
then cried alone all through the night
i kissed a girl in a backroom bar
she laughed and said i read too far
i tried a rebound just to cope
but ended up alone with smoke
i texted you “u miss me?”
you left me on read til 3:53
so i deleted all our pics
then re-uploaded just to twist the fix
"um... hey. just wanted to say you really fucked me up. but like... in a character development way? anyway. i met someone. she's not you. thank god."
she walked in wearing hotpants
green mesh, thigh chain, pure trance
she said, “you’re Cassi, right?”
and my whole ribcage caught on fire that night
she rolled a blunt and kissed my chin
said, “you write songs? put me in”
i said, “babe, i already did—
you're everything i manifested when i flipped that lid”
i want a girl in hotpants
jawline sharp enough to cut plans
i want a girl who wrecks me
breaks my back and says she gets me
i want her hands in my hair
i want her words in my mouth
i want to die in that stare
let the whole campus find out
she took my top off slow
and said, “no lies, no ghosts”
i whispered, “you’re not her”
she said, “i know. i’m worse.”
i want a girl in hotpants
no more mirrors, no more backhands
i want a girl who’s real
not you
not them
just something i can feel
