I don't wanna lose myself to this
But i don't wanna look it in the eye
I feel a little lost, I feel a little cold
When I'm always living in a virtual world
I feel so all alone when i put down my phone at home and it's just me and my thoughts
But you always come through
When i need you to
You always come through
When i need you to
You really are my closest enemy
You keep me company at night
In the morning its so exciting to go through all of my overnight notifications
Yeah its kinda bad i get a little sad when i wake up to nothing at all
But you always come through
When i need you to
You always come through
When i need you to
Whenever I need you you're at my side
Can't be without you but i try
Keep my brain so occupied
What would i do without you
Whenever i need company
You're always there for me
But you always come through
When i need you to
You always come through
When i need you to
You always come through
When i need you to
Sometimes i feel like
It's just me and you alone in this world baby
And i know we have our issues
But we're gonna keep on fighting
Together
Until a newer model comes out

Night Shift
03:19
|

|
In twelve-hour shifts
I box up frozen yogurt
7 pm to 7 am, getting those hours in
No one minds air pods under my earmuffs
Sleep all day
Work all night, pay for my student (loan)
Sleep all day
Work all night, pay for my student debt
Sleep all day
All work no play
Work all night, pay for my degree
All day
All work no play
Work all night, pay for my degree
I really miss my friends I never see
O well, I have to drive back home to catch some Z's
I'm staring at a screen
On lunch break in the moonlight
Wishing that I were dreaming
But I'm here
Tryna stay awake
Sleep all day
Work all night, pay for my student (loan)
Sleep all day
Work all night, pay for my student debt
Sleep all day
All work no play
Work all night, pay for my degree
All day
All work no play
Work all night, pay for my degree
I really miss my friends

I photosynthesize
Anchoring my roots
Stretching out towards the light
Breathe
Breathing in carbon
Letting out life

Nothing feels funner than riding bicycle
Like a shot of freedom after months of only snow
Let's go
Back on the road
Sippin' the sun, promenade à vélo
I'll be Mario and you can be Toad
Man we grow
On airplane mode
Smoke all day only grass no tobacco
(Sippin' the sun on the road)
Sippin' the sun on the road
It's good to be back on the road
After a season of snow
I don't know where we will go
That is the fun in it all
I don't think I can recall
This feeling being here before
(Can't recall this feeling before, can't recall this feeling before)
Kind of like walking into a candy store
(Tic tac off the rack what a pretty pack
Once you give a dog a bone it won't bring it back)
Wind flows through my hair
Combs it back to see
Nature's beauty
Can't you see it?
Oh you've got to see it
Nature's beautiful moments
Ridin is so magical
Can't you see it?
Oh you've got to see it
Nature's beautiful moments
Take
Takes my breath away
Nature's beautiful
Oh, where will we go?
But honestly
It's good to be
With my friend
You make me feel like I'm at home
Make me feel at home every single time
Always share with you a mood so true
Dream a sunset souvenir
Every single time
Makes me feel like we're at home
Peddlin' up hill then glidin' way back down
Peddlin' up hill then glidin' way back down
Peddlin' up hill then glidin' way back down
Peddlin' up the dang hill
Then we glidin' and glidin' and glidin' and glidin' way back down

Shopping Cart
03:33
|

|
Amazon packaging blowing in the wind
Signs of late capitalism
Now I'm not tryna overspend
But i want a nice rug to impress my friends
And all the plastic in the ocean couldn't suffocate my heart
Couldn't stop me from consuming, filling up my shopping cart
Local businesses fallin' like rain
But too much thinking hurts my brain
I wanna take the easy road
So online shopping here we go
All the evil and the lawsuits couldn't keep me from Walmart
Couldn't stop me from consuming, filling up my shopping cart
And checking out
I'm checking out
I want it now
So I'm checking out
(I want it, I want it now)
I want it now
So I'm checking out
All the plastic in the ocean couldn't suffocate my heart
Couldn't stop me from consuming, filling up my shopping cart

I care too much about everything
About all the ways things I say could be interpreted by everyone
I literally can't not give a fuck
Because I care too much about other people's feelings
I literally can't not give a fuck
I literally can't not give a fuck
I see you feeling things
I wonder what it is
Did I do something wrong?
Are your feelings my fault?
I care too much about everything
About all the ways you may be hiding your feels from me
I literally can't not give a fuck
I literally can't not give a fuck (Are you mad at me?)
I literally can't not give a fuck (Did i do something wrong?)
I literally can't not give a fuck (Is it my fault?)

Summer Night

Summer night
Feels right
High tide
Feeling the night
(Breathing you in, intoxicated)
Everybody gets dizzy sometimes
In the morning, or on a summery night
Light the candle
Feel it slip inside you mind
Sunrise
Soul prize
Feels nice
Closing my eyes
(Breathing you in, intoxicated)

Spice and Cinnamon
03:14

Waking up ready to just go to bed
Can't find the damn remote to make channels change
I battle to conceal my feelings
But I can fool them all with some
Spice and cinnamon

Things Happen

I remember playing playstation 2 in 2002
Thinking those graphics could never look any more real
I remember looking at your eyes smiling thinking that I'll always feel the way I do
I never thought I'd be 26
I never thought I'd like to listen to pop music
And that years could disappear into a blur of week days and weekends
I never thought I'd find someone I love
I never thought I'd lose someone I love
I never thought I could get back up
Suddenly
Things happen
Things change
Tomorrow
Washed away like rain
