On a Monday, can I see you?
Can I check my numbers? 'Cause I want to
I know it's annoyin' how much I do
Spendin' you the day that I want, the day that I want
Another day then, maybe Tuesday?
Can I spend a fortune? 'Cause I want to
I know it's appallin' how I lose you
Spendin' every day that I want, the day that I want
What happened to me?
[Chorus]
'Cause I just had a dream I was dead
And I only cared 'cause I was taken from you
You're the only thing that I own
I hear my bell ring, I'd only answer for you
[Post-Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la)
I'd only answer for you
[Verse]
I had prayed out loud and, Lord, you answered me too early
I was too young startin' out, now I'm too scared that you might leave me
I feel like I'm still a child because I always cross my fingers
Now you're sittin' in accounts 'cause I'm too scared to take you out
Now save me
'Cause I just had a dream I was dead
And I only cared 'cause I was taken from you
You're the only thing that I own
I hear my bell ring, I'd only answer for you
[Refrain]
On a Monday, can I see you?
Can I check my— 'Cause I want to
I know it's annoyin' how much I do
Spendin' you the day that I want, the day that I want
Another day then, maybe Tuesday?
Can I spend a fortune? 'Cause I want to
I know it's appallin'
Spendin' every day that I want, the day that I want
What happened to me?
[Chorus]
'Cause I just had a dream I was dead
And I only cared 'cause I was taken from you
You're the only thing that I own
I hear my bell ring, I'd only answer for you
[Post-Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la)

I really wanted to make a song that sounded a bit like a Lily Allen song, a bit slower than I’m usually used to when it comes to drums
I wanted it to just be a bit more calm and stuff. It was a really sad song at first. It’s not too much anymore-I changed the subject matter.

the song is about money spending – i spend money like a mosquito takes blood. (the real reason is because in the session in which i made the song, i had many mosquito bites)

“Mosquito” debuted and peaked at #74 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart.
