[Verse 1]

Told you not to worry

But maybe that's a lie

Honey, what's your hurry?

Won't you stay inside?

Remember not to get too close to stars

They're never gonna give you love like ours

[Chorus]

Where did you go?

I should know, but it's cold

And I don't wanna be lonely

So show me the way home

I can't lose another life

[Refrain]

Hurry, I'm worried

[Verse 2]

The world's a little blurry

Or maybe it's my eyes

The friends I've had to bury

They keep me up at night

Said I couldn't love someone

'Cause I might break

If you're gonna die, not by mistake

[Chorus]

So, where did you go?

I should know, but it's cold

And I don't wanna be lonely

So tell me you'll come home

Even if it's just a lie

[Bridge]

I tried not to upset you

Let you rescue me the day I met you

I just wanted to protect you

But now I'll never get to

[Refrain]

Hurry, I'm worried

[Outro]

Where did you go?

I should know, but it's cold

And I don't wanna be lonely

Was hoping you'd come home

I don't care if it's a lie

Interview about the meaning of the song:

Billie said: "I used to play ilomilo a lot. I loved ilomilo, that was like my favourite game in the world. It's this game where it's these two little creatures – one is named ilo and the other's named milo. It's this sort of anti-gravity world where there's all these little blocks and they start apart from each other. The idea is you just get to each other and when they get to each other they just hug, there's no prize."

Billie then added: "So the whole idea of the game is just losing the person you love and then finding them again."

In other words, the meaning of 'ilomilo' the song is literally the concept of 'ilomilo' the game and it's just two names put together.1
