If you don't know who Conan Gray is, let me put you on something. The following lyrics will fit your Instagram game like a glove, with suggested scenarios in which these captions make the most sense.
1. "Curfews at midnight, we watch the sunrise."
i’m hoping my sleep schedule gets so messed up that it comes back around to the right time— charlotte (@charlotte) 1587570531.0
- 'Idle Town'
This lyric exists as an apt and useful option for late-night photoshoots with pals or even to capture the grogginess of your early morning hike pictures.
2. "You may think you’re winning, but checkmate."
- 'Checkmate'
Perfect for a thirst trap or a photo that shows off your post-relationship-glow-up.
3. "Cause at this rate of earth decayOur world's ending at noonCould we all just move to the moon?"

I feel like this line is just (unfortunately) relevant for any young person drawing breaths in 2020.

I can see this line complementing senior year or graduation photos.
6. "This hurt that I'm holding's getting heavyBut I'mma keep a smile on my shoulders 'til I'm sweaty."

An artistic replacement for "smiling away the pain" captions.

For the Class of 2020.

14. "Could I get a rewind? Get another chance, take it back in time."
- 'Little League'
15. "I can't be your lover on a leash."
