​intro (end of the world)

Uh
How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?
Aren't you really supposed to know that shit?
Feel it in your bones and own that shit
I don't know
Then I had this interaction I've been thinking 'bout for like five weeks
Wonder if he's thinking 'bout it too and smiling
Wonder if he knows that that's been what's inspiring me
Wonder if he's judging me like I am right now
I don't care
I'd rather tell the truth (truth)
Than make it worse for you, mmm (you)

If the sun refused to shine
Baby, would I still be your lover?
Would you want me there?
If the moon went dark tonight
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would I be the one on your mind, your mind, your mind?

And if it all ended tomorrow
Would you be the one on mine?

bye

Bye-bye
Boy, bye, hmm
Hmm
Bye-bye
And boy, bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah

This ain't the first time I've been hostage to these tears
I can't believe I'm finally movin' through my fears
At least, I know how hard we tried, both you and me
Didn't we? Didn't we?

So I grab my stuff
Courtney just pulled up in the driveway
It's time

Bye-bye
Boy, bye
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye
I'm takin' what's mine, yeah
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah

You know, I'm stronger than I think
Usually, I'd join you on the floor, but this dance ain't for me
Boy, just turn the music up
Maybe, someday we'll look back with love
Didn't think you'd lose me
Now it's just too late to choose me

So I grab my stuff
Courtney just pulled up in the driveway
It's time (it's time)

Bye-bye
Boy, bye (boy, bye)
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye
I'm takin' what's mine, yeah (takin' what's mine)
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah

Now it's certainly bittersweet
This hook feels too hard to sing
But it's better than repeat (than repeat, than repeat, than repeat)

Bye-bye (bye-bye)
Boy, bye (boy, bye)
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah (bye)
Bye-bye (bye-bye)
I'm takin' what's mine, yeah (takin' what's mine, ooh)
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah (ooh)
Bye-bye (bye-bye)
Boy, bye
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah (bye)
Bye-bye (bye-bye)
I'm takin' what's mine, yeah (I'm takin' what's mine)
Bye-bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah

dont wanna break up again

Mm

I fall asleep cryin'
You turn up the TV
You don't wanna hear me
One more sleepless night
Big day in the morning
So, I take my time to self-soothe

I'm too much for you
So I really gotta do
The thing I don't wanna do
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't

I don't wanna f*ck with your head
It's breakin' my heart
To keep breakin' yours again (yours again, yours again, yours again)
This situationship has to end
But I just can't refuse
I don't wanna break up again (up again, up again, up again), baby

I made it so easy
Spent so much on therapy
Blamed my own codependency
But you didn't even try
When you finally did, it was at the wrong time
Won't abandon me again for you and I

I'm too much for you (I)
So I really gotta do
The thing I don't wanna do
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't

I don't wanna f*ck with your head
It's breakin' my heart (breakin' my heart)
To keep breakin' yours again (yours again, yours again, yours again)
This situationship has to end
But I just can't refuse
I don't wanna break up again (up again, up again, up again)

We both know it's time
So we say goodbye
Just one kiss goodbye
With tears in our eyes
Hope you won't, won't regret me
Hope you'll still think fondly of our little life

I don't wanna f*ck with your head
It's breakin' my heart (breakin' my heart)
To keep breakin' yours again (yours again, yours again, yours again)
This situationship has to end
But I just can't refuse
I don't wanna break up again (up again, up again, up again), baby

(Hah, hah, hah)
(Hah, hah, hah) don't wanna break up again (breakin' my heart)
I don't wanna, baby
Situationship has to end (know it has to end)
Just can't refuse

Saturn Returns Interlude

When we're all born, Saturn's somewhere
And the Saturn cycle takes around about twenty-nine years
That's when we gotta wake up and smell the coffee
Because if we've just been sort of relying on our cleverness
Or relying, you know, just kind of floating along
Saturn comes along and hits you over the head
Hits you over the head, hits you over the head, and says, "Wake up"
It's time for you to get real about life and sort out who you really are

Wake up
Get real

eternal sunshine

I

I don't care what people say
We both know I couldn't change you
I guess you could say the same
Can't rearrange truth
I've never seen someone lie like you do
So much, even you start to think it's true
Ooh
Get me out of this loop, yeah, yeah

So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now she's in my bed, mm-mm, layin' on your chest
Now I'm in my head, wonderin' how it ends

I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feelin' sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine, sunshine

So I try to wipe my mind
Just so I feel less insane
Rather feel painless
I'd rather forget than know, know for sure
What we could've fought through behind this door, mm
So I close it and move, yeah, yeah

So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now he's in your bed, and layin' on my chest
Now I'm in my head, and wonderin' how it ends, ends, ends

I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feelin' sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine, sunshine

Won't break, can't shake
This fate, rewrite
Deep breaths, tight chest
Life, death, rewind
Won't (won't) break (won't), can't (can't) shake (shake)
This (this) fate (fate), rewrite
Deep (deep) breaths (breaths), tight (tight) chest (chest)

true story

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized (fantasized) 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games
I know you play

No, this is not what I need (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Not what I want (gimme love, love, gimme love)
Ain't gonna happen to me
Gimme love, love, gimme love, love, lo-love
Gimme love, gimme love, love
Love, love, lo-love

I'll play the villain if you need me to
I know how this goes, yeah
I'll be the one you pay to see play the scene
Roll the cameras, please

Turnin' like a dime (dime), wastin' all their time
Sneakin' like a creep in the night
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
Mm

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized (fantasized) 'bout you and I

Love, love, lo-love

I'll play the bad girl if you need me to
If it makes you feel better
I'll be the one you love to hate, can't relate
Too much on my plate

See it in your eyes (eyes), you got too much time
For fun, you like to pray for my demise, mm
But I'll play whatever part you need me to
And I'll be good in it, too

This is a true story about all the lies
You fantasized (fantasized) 'bout you and I
This is a true story about all the games

the boy is mine

How can it be? You and me
Might be meant to be, can't unsee it
But I don't wanna 'cause no scene
I'm usually so unproblematic
So independent
Tell me why
'Cause the boy is mine, mine

Somethin' about him is made for somebody like me
Baby, come over, come over (oh my)
And God knows I'm tryin', but there's just no use in denying

The boy is mine
I can't wait to try him
Le-let's get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time
I can't believe my mind
The boy is divine
Boy is mine

Please know this ain't what I planned for
Probably wouldn't bet a dime or my life on
There's gotta be a reason why
My girls, they always come through in a sticky situation
Say, "It's fine" (it's fine)
Happens all the time

Somethin' about him is made for somebody like me
Baby, come over, come over (oh my)
And God knows I'm tryin', but there's just no use in denying

The boy is mine
I can't wait to try him
Le-let's get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time
I can't believe my mind
The boy is divine
Boy is

And I know it's simply meant to be
And I, I take full accountability for all these years
Promise you I'm not usually
Like this, shit, it's like news to me, to me
But I can't ignore my heart, boy (the boy is mine)

I can't wait to try him (oh)
Le-let's get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time
I can't believe my mind
The boy is divine
Boy is mine

yes and?

In case you haven't noticed
Well, everybody's tired
And healin' from somebody
Or somethin' we don't see just right

Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

"Yes, and?"
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own f*ckin' best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?"

Now, I'm so done with caring
What you think, no, I won't hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life

Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

"Yes, and?"
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own f*ckin' best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It's mine, it's mine)
What's mine is mine
My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise)
Don't comment on my body, do not reply
Your business is yours and mine is mine
Why do you care so much whose **** I ride?
Why?

"Yes, and?" (Yes, and?)
Say that shit with your chest, and (Say that shit with your chest)
Be your own f*ckin' best friend (Oh, be your own, be your own)
Say that shit with your chest (Say that shit with your chest, baby)
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?"
"Yes (Ooh) , and?"
Say that shit with your chest (Ooh) , and
Be your own f*ckin' best (Be your own) friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

​we can't be friends (wait for your love)

I didn't think you'd understand me
How could you ever even try?
I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide
But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire
Just wanna let this story die
And I'll be alright

We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pre-etend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again
Wait for your love
My love, I'll wait for your love

Me and my truth, we sit in silence
Mmm, baby girl, it's just me and you
'Cause I don't wanna argue, but I don't wanna bite
My tongue, yeah, I think I'd rather die
You got me misunderstood
But at least I look this good

We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pre-etend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again
Wait for your love
My love, I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love
My love, I'll wait for your love

Know that you made me
I don't like how you paint me, yet I'm still here hanging
Not what you made me
It's something like a daydream
But I feel so seen in the night
So for now, it's only me
And maybe that's all I need

We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pre-etend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again
Wait for your love
My love, I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love
My love, I'll wait for your love

I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love
I'll wait for your love

i wish i hated you

Hung all my clothes in the closet you made
Your shoes still in boxes, I send them your way
Hoping life brings you no new pain

I rearrange my memories
I try to rewrite our life

But no matter how I try to (mm)
And no matter how I want to (mm)
And no matter how easy things could be if I did
And no matter how guilty, I still feel saying it
I wish I hated you
I wish that weren't true
Wish there was worse to you
I wish you were worse to me
Yeah, I wish I hated you

Our shadows dance in a parallel plane
Just two different endings, you learn to repair
And I learn to keep me in one place

So close (so close) and yet so far (so far)
If only we had known from the start

But no matter how I try to (mm)
And no matter how I want to (mm)
And no matter how easy things could be if I did
And no matter how guilty, I still feel saying it
I wish I hated you
I wish that weren't true
Wish there was worse to you
I wish you were worse to me
Yeah, I wish I hated you

imperfect for you

My boy, come take my hand
Throw your guitar and your clothes in the back seat
My love, they don't understand
But I'll hold your hurt in the box here beside me

How could we know
We'd rearrange all the cosmos? Mm
We crashed, and we burned
Now I just can't go where you don't go
And usually, I'm

F*cked up, anxious, too much
But I'll love you like you need me to
Imperfect for you
Messy, completely distressed
But I'm not like that since I met you
Imperfect for you

Let's go tonight
'Cause there's just a few seconds left 'til tomorrow
We have all that we need
Let's leave our baggage and wine at the table (mm), mm

How could we know
That this was a happy disaster? (Happy disaster) mm (mm)
I'm glad we crashed and burned (we crashed and burned)
I'll never forget when you told me
You said, usually, I'm

(F*cked) f*cked up (up), anxious (anxious), too much
But I'll love you like you need me to
Imperfect for you
(Messy) messy, completely (distressed) distressed
But I'm not like that since I met you

Mm, how could we know
We'd make the bad stuff delightful? Mm
I'm glad we crashed and burned
I know we'll be there for each other
When we're feeling

(F*cked) f*cked up (up), anxious (anxious), too much
But I'll love you like you need me to
Imperfect for you
(Messy) messy, completely (distressed) distressed
But I'm not like that since I met you
Imperfect for you

(F*cked) f*cked up (up), anxious (anxious), too much

ordinary things

Hmm

We could go pop all the champagne in California
We could have omakase in Tokyo if you wanna
Hypothetically, we (we) could do (do)
Anything that we'd like
We could hit up all the slopes in matching snowsuits
We could hang out at the Louvre all night if you want to
We could spend every dime
But I don't want (want) anything ('thing)
But more time

No matter what we do
There's never gonna be an ordinary thing
No ordinary things with you
It's funny, but it's true
There's never gonna be an ordinary thing
As long as I'm with you

You hit just like the first sip of wine after a long day
You hit like my biggest fan when I hear what the critiques say
You hit just like a green light when I'm stuck runnin' real late
I don't need no diamonds, just your time

No matter what we do
There's never gonna be an ordinary thing
No ordinary things with you
It's funny, but it's true
There's never gonna be an ordinary thing
As long as I'm with you

Ordinary thing, ordinary things with you
Ordinary thing, as long as I'm with you

And when he'd come home and I'd see him, when he first gets off that train
It was like God almighty arrived
It was like seein' daylight
I mean, I could've packed up and left a million times
You know? It's not that we never fought
You can overcome that
You know? It-it's very easy
And as I told her, never go to bed without kissin' goodnight
That's the worst thing to do, don't ever, ever do that
And if you can't, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it
You're in the wrong place, get out

Grande derived the album title from the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. She conceived the album as a record of both vulnerability and entertainment, inspired by her personal life experiences. Upon release, a number of critics praised Eternal Sunshine for its restrained vocals and music, and the emotional vulnerability of the subject matter, while some critiqued the songwriting as unrefined.

Grande described Eternal Sunshine as "kind of a concept album" comprising "different heightened pieces of the same story, of the same experience". She explained that the record spans from "really vulnerable" songs to playful tracks which see her emulating "what people kind of expect me to be sometimes and having fun with it."

Wendy Goldstein, co-president of Republic Records, described the record as an "elevated version" of Grande's previous albums, calling it an embodiment of "Sweetener meets Thank U, Next".
