So please, keep it in mind

Check on your friends

Every once in a while

Even if they say

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop

Don't have to drop by

Nothin' you can do this time

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

Drop, drop, drop anything for me

Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feelin' dumb, check in

It's not worth the risk of losin' a friend

Even if they say

"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

If I'm bein' real, man, don't know how I feel, man

'Bout you sleepin' so close to a weapon you conceal, man

Those night terrors are not somethin' to take lightly

I know that it's a risk sayin' this, don't fight me

(Stoppin' me, fight me)

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop me

Don't have to drop by

Nothin' you can do this time

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

(Drop me, drop, drop me) Anything for me (Drop me, drop me)

Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feelin' dumb, check in

It's not worth the risk of losin' a friend

Even if they say

"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

Drop, drop, drop anything

For me...

   «I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop

Don't have to drop by

Nothin' you can do this time

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

Drop, drop, drop anything for me

Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

Used to be you and me, matching Kawasaki Zs

Ride around 270 in Kawasaki tees

Two fighter jets matching energy

So please, keep it in mind

Check on your friends

Every once in a while

Even if they say

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop

Don't have to drop by

Nothin' you can do this time

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

Drop, drop, drop anything for me

Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feelin' dumb, check in

It's not worth the risk of losin' a friend

Even if they say

"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

If I'm bein' real, man, don't know how I feel, man

'Bout you sleepin' so close to a weapon you conceal, man

Those night terrors are not somethin' to take lightly

I know that it's a risk sayin' this, don't fight me

(Stoppin' me, fight me)

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop me

Don't have to drop by

Nothin' you can do this time

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

(Drop me, drop, drop me) Anything for me (Drop me, drop me)

Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feelin' dumb, check in

It's not worth the risk of losin' a friend

Even if they say

"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

I don't want anyone, know me or not

See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop

Drop, drop, drop anything

For me...»

 Drop, drop, drop anything for me
-Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop<span class="tooltip-text">The chorus repeated throughout the song is from the perspective from a friend insisting that they don’t need/want anyone to support them through their turbulent period of mental health. They appear to do so because they don’t want to be a burden, forcing their friends to drop their plans to look after them.<br>
+Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop</span></div>
-The chorus contrasts the rest of the song which is in the perspective of Tyler, urging listeners to check in with their friends “at the risk of feelin' dumb.”<br>
-In the history of twenty one pilots' music, the band is known for having songs that combat suicide such as “Guns for Hands.” It seems that the implication behind the lines is darker as if the narrator will potentially commit suicide if they are left on their own, refusing help from their friends. This message is explicit later in the song with the line “It’s not worth the risk of losin' a friend.”<br>
-In the final line of the chorus, “drop” has a double meaning. “Drop” in this case, means to drop dead, as in the speaker never wants their friends to die young or die by suicide. This is reaffirmed in the music video, in which Tyler jumps off of a hay bale. There is even a frame where he lies lifeless next to the hay bale and the shed. During the video, the drop increases from hay bale, to shed, to single story, to bridge to finally a skyscraper, increasing the stakes (the “drop”) similar to the increased use of the lyric in the song.</span></span></div>
