[Verse 1] She saw the world through a mason jar, it's foggy She had the kids with the vicious smiles, they got me Up on a hill with the trophy wives She's doing all right, all, all, right (yeah) They let her roam some tree or vine, no question She's got a home with some shit to climb, don't mention Been up and down like a hundred times
[Chorus] But I got to kill this conversation while There is still sense in my mind But I miss the way you feel No one will ever know
[Verse 2] She wrote a film 'bout a double life, she's livin' She had a weak co-star in mind, I give in Mix up the clear with the coffee grinds We're shootin' all night, all, all, night (yeah) I feel the shift of the fallen tide, I'm leavin' Nobody dares to take her side, still pleadin' She's breakin' down tell me one more time
[Bridge] Well we both know The green will fade to gold But it wasn't right, I should've called them off A face like stone The pain begins to show And it was not right, I should've called them off
[Outro] But I miss the way you feel (well we both know) No one will ever know (the green will fade to gold) I miss the way you feel It wasn't right I should've called them off (no one will ever know) But I miss the way you feel (a face like stone) No one will ever know (the pain begins to show) I miss the way you feel It was not right I should've called them off (no one will ever know)

According to an interview with Vibe, the album art “was a picture on Instagram from a girl [Sean] knew.” Lead singer Sean Scanlon said:
Yeah, it just seemed to fit the vibe since ‘Mason Jar’ has a more serious tone to the lyrics. There’s a lyric about trophy wives and daughters, so the picture kind of fit it.
It kind of started with a guitar lead over some chords in a room one day that we all thought was worth pursuing as a song. All our songs take a long journey to craft – we’ll take parts from different days of rehearsing and kind of mix them together and everything just works out alright.
