    Fun fact, the second time a more raspy and darker voice sings "keep a place for me", that's actually Yung Lean :)
  • "cause u see me like a UFO" its kinda goofy but in my interpretation of this line is not only are UFOs rare to see and are flying away but theyre always flying high, which circles back to frank and his addiction to drugs and weed in songs like solo and white Ferrari. So this could mean that she sees him sort of drifting away and always wanting a high.

    i also think that the reason why ‘keep a place for me, i’ll sleep between yall it’s nothing’ is so high pitched is because it also represents a baby asking his parents to sleep between them. Like it’s that kind of desperation to be near someone else, he needs to be near that person like a baby needs his parents to be near.
