The song was written and produced by Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, known for their collaborative work.
Inspiration and Meaning
The song draws inspiration from the Hayao Miyazaki Ghibli film “Spirited Away,” named after its protagonist.

Lyrics
To take my love away
When I come back around, will I know what to say?
Said you won't forget my name
Not today
Not tomorrow
Kinda strange
Feeling sorrow
I got change (yeah)
You could borrow (borrow)
When I come back around, will I know what to say?
Not today
Maybe tomorrow
Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with any more
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?
Did you
Take
My love
Away
From me, me?
Me
Saw your seat at the counter when I looked away
Saw you turn around, but it wasn't your face
Said: I need to be alone now, I'm taking a break
How come when I returned you were gone away?
I don't
I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you
Not at all
I don't
I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you
Did you
Take
My love
Away
From me, me?
And that's when you found me
I was waiting in the garden
Contemplating, beg your pardon
But there's a part of me that recognizes you
Do you feel it too?
When you told me it was serious
Were you serious? Mmm
They told me they were only curious
Now it's serious, mmm
Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with any more
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?
Wringing my hands in my lap
And they tell me it's all been a trap
And you don't know if you'll make it back
I say: No, don't say that
(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(Tell me it's all been a trap)
(Don't know if you'll make it back)
(I say: No, don't say that)
(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(Tell me it's all been a trap)
(Don't know if you'll make it back)
(Don't say that)
