about

Man, I just wanna live a day as a blonde
I’ll look like Jessica Chastain

Get mistaken for a man with a job

Taking sessions on my lunch break

You won’t believe what an apartment will cost
Been living right by the freeway

Watching TV in my dollar store socks

I don’t get out much these days

Convince myself that I’ve been talking too much
Picture hours of replay

It’s pretty lonely just writing a song

When you know your friends are all moving away

And I just wanna see a picture of mom

From when she was my age

Was she as hard to get as everyone thought?
Was she happier in those days?

Sleeping, getting paid

Subways running late

Leaving the rest up to question

Just to find that you ain’t got it made

Weather ain’t been bad

Floss and take a bath

Leave all the rest up to question
Just to find you hardly ever laugh

Man, I just wanna be the type to forget
Oh, the embarrassing montage

Seeing pictures from when I was a kid
Down at the beach with my brother

And I don’t wanna be a ghost when I’m dead
I think I’d tire of jump scares

Sitting quiet at the foot of your bed

Watch you crying from the top of the stairs

Work out, pay the rent

Thinking bout your ex

Leaving the rest up to question
Just to find that you got nothing left

Fall back out of love

Take too many drugs

Leave all the rest up to question

Just to find that you ain’t young enough

And when I’m feeling sad
Just remember that
I’ve got songs to hide behind until the feelings pass
It ain’t much of a life
But maybe once or twice
I’ve felt magic touching pen to paper in my time
