LYRICS:
I don’t wanna see any of your friends
I don’t
I know it’s hard for you to be alone
But thats where we’re different
I’d be emotionless all the way
If I could
I should take your advice, and find someone new
So I could have two
i don’t want to
fell asleep with your hand on my skull and my face on your lap
At the bowery hotel missing you
How did I fall so fast
Seems like everything I do takes me further from you
Three boys would work if I wasn’t so tethered to you
What should I do
I cant even choose
Tethered to you
You pray to god that it would leave
It won’t leave
All that you feel for me
It wont be light,
It wont feel right
My hand around your neck that your tortured by
Spend a lot of time with you I can’t let go
I know theres some things you can’t speak
but thoughts of a third make me weak, weak
I don’t want to
Fell asleep with your hand on my skull and my face on your lap
At the Bowery hotel missing you
How did I fall so fast
Seems like everything I do takes me further from you
Three boys would work if I wasn’t so tethered to you
What should I do
I can’t even choose
tethered to you

Wow! I've never heard a song about the subject matter of wanting to stay monogamous when your partner wants to be poly (or swing). This is beautiful and raw. Love it!

[@RM-lj8bv]

Is it about a gay relationship with a third boy?

[@hatifsyed7448]

Interesting! I thought it was about unsatisfactory results of hookup culture after a relationship

[@deaththekid5445]

@@RM-lj8bv idk u do the math

[@024rahmatalaminmaba6]

More like your partner says to you "i'm very busy, maybe we should start an open relationship so you can fuck someone else and stop being so needy". That's why it hurts the most :" ).

[@marveldc9997]

@@hatifsyed7448 it’s actually about how he wants one boy but he doesn’t feel the same way so he’s trying to get over him by hoeing around w three boys but it’s not working cuz he’s so attached, so he wishes 3 boys were enough to get over him

[@jaycaprio8514]

Came here from the movie red white and royal blue and now I'm absolutely in love. This song is just so freaking good, especially at 1:05

Not really but it's still a banger

Huh ??? Lol this is literally evergreen pt 2

This is right on par with his latest, and it's amazing

Nope. But it’s amazing for sure

[@B4shXp]

Is my music ok?

[@joshthomas5016]

Facts! My favorite

[@TehxHope]

A song that resonates with those who still prefer monogamy over open relationships. Honestly so refreshing to hear.

[@MrTubeeater]

it's quite based indeed.

[@_-__-____]

Really not an uncommon opinion

[@spence6195]

01:06 I'm gonna be singing "3 boys would work if I wasn't so tethered to you" all day like I did with "You didn't deserve me AT ALL!"

[@chancescott5770]

Had the chance to hear this awesome artist for the first time at The SZA concert In Columbus, this man is gifted ! I love the exposure he's getting from the tour, definitely blessed to have such an experience from both SZA and Omar. Hope he gets the recognition he deserves!

[@cypher31]

This song is so dreamy that you might forget what Omar is singing about. And I've never heard a song with the word tethered in it. But it works, it works i swear it does and once this song gets in your head it stays there and is on repeat. He's torn in his relationship, but still has great love for his partner, which tempts him to think about a third. But as much as he wants to give in to the temptation he finds he can't.

[@Jakeschwag]

Have a listen to Ryan Beatty - Evergreen, it has a similar vibe to Omar's music AND also uses the word "tethered"

[@oreochocolate_lavacake9960]

​@@Jakeschwagyoh so man similarities bro the fact Omar has a song called Evergreen

[@gagaforgloria]

his singing voice has improved so so much from when he first started 🥹❤

[@katsukishoto9227]

Anyone for Red White & Royal Blue?

[@itsmeeandrea]

Honestly finding Omar's music is one of the best things that has happened to me in a while!! His music and lyrics are just so relatable and listening to it all helps me process a lot of what I feel!

[@colletteotoole4337]

Just found him yesterday omg brilliant

I found this song in rwrb movie 😭 is so f good😭❤️

[@ratacoochie5546]

Omar is not a new music creator. He been slaying since before 2016. He’s just finally getting the recognition he’s always deserved. He created himself from nothing. I love this man so much.

[@wheredawifi]

Real soul / R&B hits so different with Omar’s Vocals

Love it!! (Random but does anyone else hear the guitar from Blue Jeans in the intro?)

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD 😮‍💨 IT WILL BE ON REPEAT

[@katyprarie]

Damn I wouldn't think there would be an artist making a song on this topic, this is why representation is so important is so so beautiful! edit: Also the very beginning notes reminds me so much of Blue Jeans by LDR

[@borebore]

Hi Katy, what topic is he referring too if I may ask? I don’t wanna to interpret it the wrong way. If that make sense lol

[@dirtnasty27]

@@boreborepretty sure it’s about omar being reluctant to bringing in a 3rd person to a relationship he’s in

[@katyprarie]

@@borebore so Omar said that it was his first time writing something non-monagamous and the intricacies of it and the complicated feelings. I interpret it like that as a queer man in the community it is very much how he describes, open relationship? Threesome? Throuple? It could be all of it I think, just the complicated way we love and feel attraction I feel. It just feels so special since it's spoken/sang about so earnest and raw here and that's rare so it's so important to explore.

[@movieclipcuts6279]

You’re right, the thought of a third makes me weak too 😐😐😐

[@anidem.]

Yes i agree about the Lana part!! Love them both sm

[@seidaquispeespinoza676]

Estoy aquí después de aver visto RWRB 🇬🇧🇺🇲❤️,🤍💙 está música es bellisimaaaa 🔥

[@chrismccall797]

Just when I thought “EverGreen” was a banger, this man turns around with yet another banger. That next Grammy belongs to Omar.

[@edgarorozco9515]

So much energy. Love is universal and very unique to each individual. Though I respect those who choose to be open, it’s often not reciprocated to those who choose 1. We fall so fast and lose ourselves into their desires. Only to destroy who we are and each other. In the end, it’s broken empty pieces for the next 💔

[@JayMoreLikeSlay]

Omar giving me another reason to love him

[@AYUnyc]

The absolute best

Nice to hear it played in the film red white royal blue. I was omg!!

[@louspi]

It's such a mystery how much the music opens people's hearts, be able to "fall so fast" and feel elation and love for an artist, when loving someone is so hard in this life I remember when my parents listened to Beatles I didn't understand how all people at that old time got crazy and hysterical about them I grew old and music became my best friend, best lover, finally feeling myself this passion I saw as a child, there's nothing like music in humans life, you can be touched by the grace everywere in the world, anytime of your life, and now you mister Omar touched me so strongly, so deeply, I thank God being allowed to hear and feel you. 💖🇨🇵

[@024rahmatalaminmaba6]

What makes it hurt the most is that the story really tells about your partner suggesting to start an open relationship because they are busy with their life, so in order for you to stop being needy they let you sleep with someone else even if you don't want to do so.

[@atech2011]

I interpreted it the other way. Omar wanted to sleep with a third guy, but his partner doesn’t. Then I looked at the lyrics again and I realized Omar in this song doesn’t want a third boy he is “tethered” to just the one boy 😭

So sorry to have discovered you just 4 days ago, but since, I've walked on the moon, I've felt so much high and musical love, look at almost everything you put on your chanel, didn't sleep a lot despite I work hard on daytime, feel elation, high, admiring you, smiling with you cause your smile is so entire, so sincere, you seem to be such a nice guy, and you are so talented, so gifted, and determined to work a lot to grow up, expressing your talents and gifts the life has offered you. Today my tears fall like in cascades, I am 50 I'm a girl but and it's like I am in love for the first time, oh I wish I was a pretty young boy and win your heart . Yes I've loved so much great artists before, now you are the one who's beauty hits me in my guts. My perfect ear reconised this genius in you, which can lean you to the highest levels, I wish you to last, to continue on this path where only pure great artists belong
