“Wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
And I'll pull them off for you”.
I also see lyrics implying Johnny being manipulative and toxic in ways that crybaby doesn’t even ignore, but admires in an obsessive way
“I love everything you do, when you call me f*cking dumb for the stupid shit I do”
“Letting go, letting go
Telling you things you already know
I explode, I explode“
The lyrics above could be interpreted in a number of ways. One way could be that due to Johnny’s manipulation he already knows how crybaby feels, he could even be leading her on.
Overall, I believe the song is about an obsessive and toxic relationship where one person with more experience “you’ve been riding two wheelers all your life”, Johnny, is taking advantage of crybaby’s naïveté and love/obsession for him. I am no Melanie Martinez expert but this is how I interpret the song! :)
