#Carmy's lil' heart was singing “Now I know what loving you cost- Now we're up to talkin' divorce and we weren't even married!” 😭

The use of Last Train Home

Don't know if anyone pointed this out yet, but this "relationship on the rocks" ballad by John Mayer plays over this scene from S01E6 above. Carmy apologizes to Syd over being terse with her in the episode after she has him try her risotto and short ribs dish.

The opening lyrics are:

If you wanna roll me

Then you gotta roll me all night long

And if you wanna use me

Then you gotta use me 'til I'm gone

...then Syd ends up quitting the next episode after Carmy's explosive outbursts. The rest of the lyrics are relevant to their relationship's proverbial moment of truth and Carmy's (business 🥴) proposal in episode seven / eight respectively:

I'm not a fallen angel, I just fell behind

I'm out of luck and I'm out of time

If you don't wanna love me, let me go

I'm runnin' for the last train

I'm runnin' for the last train home

If you wanna know me

Then you gotta know me through and through

And if you're gonna hurt me

Then you gotta hold me next to you

No matter how you work it, things go wrong

I put my heart where it don't belong

So if you're comin' with me, let me know

Maybe you're the last train

Maybe you're the last train home

I'm on the last train runnin'

I'm on the last train runnin'

And I surrender

And I surrender

I'm on the last train runnin'

I'm on the last train runnin'

And I surrender

And I surrender

I'm on the last train runnin'

I'm on the last train runnin'

And I surrender

And I surrender

I'm on the last train runnin'

I'm on the last train runnin'

And I surrender

And I surrender

(Oh, yeah)

(Ooh)

If Syd and Carmy aren't endgame then what's all this then??? They might as well have played this:

-when Carmy was moping in episode 8 after Syd left. 🥴
