Cover art for The Rent Is Due lyrics by You, Me, and Everyone We Know

Actually, I always thought it was about being in love with someone who lived in a different country. "Of the boy from which your accent comes" insinuates that maybe he taught her English, so of course she would speak it with his accent. And the way he sings the line, as in, the present tense, like "Oh, won't you hold it against me For knowing the words What to say to make your heartbeat stop" and "My bags have been packed for days" tell me that they're still in love, just seperated. But the way he sings doesn't really say past tense, which would mean they're broken up.

This is my favorite Y,M,AEWK song. It's so catchy and cute.
