LYRICS
Zach (Verse / Chorus):
“Well, oh, Madeline, how you been?
I've been waiting 'round to die again
Well, I saw all your friends and you weren't there
And here's a picture of us holding up a pitcher of our favorite beer…”

Gabriella (Verse):
“I ain't never felt this lonely as I do tonight in this nice hotel,
Twelve hundred miles from that shit motel you kissed me softly in…”

Zach (Final):
“And, oh, Madeline, how you been? …
If you see her, won't you tell her I need her like a sailor needs the ocean…
Are you back with that boy again that deserves a broken jaw?”


Background & Meaning:

Released on July 18, 2025, “Madeline” is the lead single from Zach’s upcoming With Heaven On Top EP .

It’s a heartfelt duet: Zach laments his longing and heartbreak after the breakup, while Gabriella (as Madeline) reflects on her own loneliness and questions whether to return .

The song uses clever wordplay (“pitcher” → “picture”) and intense emotions—Zach even imagines breaking up the new guy with a “broken jaw” if he’s mistreating her .

The unresolved ending leaves listeners wondering: will they reunite—or is this farewell?
