My forehead’s splitting, I can feel a separation.
And me, here, full of life, waiting for that magic conversation.
That’s why I thought you should see her.
She’ll tell our future.
Don’t believe her.

Did you ask about love and forever
or did you ask her for her number.
I didn’t go to the psychic myself
cause she didn’t even know that I was
out of town
when I called
out of town
when I called.

I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on the bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.

I used to win at cakewalks on a Sunday afternoon,
stop on Lucky 11.
We’d bring the cake home, in the back seat, in the station wagon.
Such a strange prize.
I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on the bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.

I smile, I show my teeth.
I smile, I show my teeth.
I make space.
I make space.
I lay back.
I lay back.

We were empty tonight.
We talked about the television.
Only I was talking, only I was talking.
Is this a future disaster? –Full of omens?
I don’t believe in fate.
We didn’t talk about a bad sign.
I think about a cut off date.
So I memorized your kiss
I memorized your lips
I memorized your kiss
I memorized your lips.

I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on the bedroom floor.
I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on the bedroom floor.
Are you my cake?
Is this my fate?
What a strange prize
I want to taste.

I did that.

An explanation of the song from an interview frontrowbaba did with Lisa: "She explained that "Did That" was more in terms of "Been there done that"... not actually a thing. The bedroom floor and carpeted hallways are somewhat referring to when she was younger and writing in her journal... she said it's a very imagery-oriented song and that the journals represented everything she had done, but even as an adult she could look back and see that she was still going through many things she had written about when she was younger, that no matter how much you grow and progress you go through the same things. Therefore she's been there and done that when she was a teenager writing in her journal."
