[G-Eazy:]
'Cause I'm in love with these Tumblr girls
With skinny waists and drug habits
Pretty faces, love status, she acts as if she's the baddest
Man, I swear she's just like tons of girls
She expects the free drinks
And I'm successful, she thinks
Always comes around when weed stinks
We fuck off and on, off and on
Only ever really fuck off and on
Never see her these days 'cause I'm often gone
When I'm home off tour, never stop for long
Back this week from across the pond
Noticed I was close to the block she's on
Elevator to the floor her loft is on
Drinking whiskey, she likes vodka strong
But after we fuck it's over, walked out the door
That's closure
No, I can't stay here and hold her
Tomorrow act like I don't know her
Wouldn't ever be here sober, can't tell which one is colder
My clothing's on, we both did wrong, I gotta go, that's what I told her, yeah
She said she can't feel her face
(She said she can't feel her face)
Yeah, right now I can't feel my heart
For your feelings, there's no place
But you knew that from the start
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last
Meant to die, we moved fast and then we crashed
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last
She's fine as fuck and she knows it
Sexy body, she shows it
Loves the drama, she chose it
She draws the line then she blows it
The most fun, I suppose it
Pops a bottle, won't close it
Feels a fit then she throws it
She pops a bar now she's dozing
She's hot and cold, hot and cold
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
Truly the bullshit has gotten old
Superficial with a rotten soul
Fucking off and on, always stop and go
Probably got someone, choose not to know
Head to her place then we lock the door
Making bad calls when I'm off the blow
'Cause she's a bitch, I'm selfish
Want every girl, can't help it
And it's tough for me to shelf it, it's you I see myself with
Right now I know you felt it
I touched her then she melted
We shouldn't chill but we do it still, gotta play the hand if you dealt it, yeah
[Christoph Andersson:]
Missing everything you say
It's not important what you stand for
You're asking will he be the one
I'll be gone before you're done tonight
Waiting for another day
You're not getting what you paid for
Trying to salvage what's undone and deny you got outrun tonight
Never knew her name, they're looking all the same to me
They only chase the fame, there's no one left to blame but me
Dari liriknya, bisa terlihat bahwa makna lagu Tumblr Girl menggambarkan hubungan yang tidak bertahan lama. Lirik "You and I were made of glass, we'd never last" menggambarkan hubungan yang rapuh, seolah-olah mereka berdua tahu bahwa hubungan ini tidak akan bertahan lama.
G-Eazy menyebutkan banyak karakteristik fisik dari "Tumblr girls" — perempuan dengan "skinny waists and drug habits" dan "pretty faces" yang terkesan mengejar status sosial. Ini juga menjadi kritik terhadap budaya yang fokus pada penampilan fisik dan validasi status di media sosial.
Ada juga bagian yang menggambarkan hubungan yang hanya terjadi saat mereka berdua hanya ingin bersenang-senang. Akan tetapi tidak ada kedalaman emosional atau komitmen jangka panjang.
Meski keduanya terlibat dalam hubungan yang fisikal dan emosional, ada perasaan kesepian yang mendalam. Di akhir lagu, G-Eazy mengisahkan betapa hubungan ini berakhir dengan "closure", tetapi tetap berlanjut karena dorongan fisik dan kebiasaan.
