Favorite Missed Connection

about

Co-written with producer Adam Tilzer, "Favorite Missed Connection" is Jordan Popky's third single of the summer. Drawing on influences from Diet Cig to Lucy Dacus to Phil Spector, this song is a fun reflection on a secret college crush that she is able to look back on fondly years later. Sometimes missed connections are better left as good memories and wistful 'what ifs.'

lyrics

I wanted to kiss you

On New Year's Eve

But I had a boyfriend

He wasn't good to me

But I'm not one to cheat

Anyway I wouldn't have been what you needed

I hear you're married now

I'm still barely out

I've spent years running through 'what ifs' of that night

But some things are safer said in hindsight



'Cause we could have been fun for a week

Tried out long distance, then hardly speak

We would have gotten a little obsessed

Then ended up depressed

So, in the end, I'm glad it didn't work out



Fantasy visions

Ran through my head

But I couldn't catch them

Daydreams drenched in guilt

The self-destructive thrill

Lost in sweet thoughts with bitter ends

I hear you bought a house

I'm always moving out

I have never wanted the life that you made

I'd rather have a name you can still say



'Cause we could have been fun for a week

Tried out long distance, then hardly speak

We would have gotten a little obsessed

Then ended up depressed

So, in the end, I'm glad it didn't work out



You were my favorite missed connection

I'm still high off my own projection

You were my favorite missed connection

I'm still high off my own projection

You were my favorite missed connection

I'm still high off my own projection

You were my favorite missed connection

I'm still high off my own projection



We could have been fun for a week

Tried out long distance, then hardly speak

We would have gotten a little obsessed

Then ended up depressed

So, in the end, I'm glad it didn't work out
