And then the stalker kills himself." In an interview with HitQuarters, co-writer Sacha Skarbek said that Blunt brought the title, verses, and the approach of the chorus to a songwriting session. It’s about a guy (me) who’s high and stalking someone else’s girlfriend on the subway.
Blunt said of the song: "It's always been portrayed as romantic, but it’s actually a bit creepy. She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since." According to Blunt, he wrote the lyrics of the song at home in two minutes after meeting her, and then finished the song with Sacha Skarbek in Los Angeles, and with Amanda Ghost also credited as a co-writer. It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man, who I didn't know existed.
