Lyrics
CHORUS
Waking up at 19 has got me so confused and I hate it
Can't help but question everything I watch on the new so I'll fake it
There's more to life than we thought ya
I thought we figured it out yeah
Because the only thing I know is
I don't want to live without yaV1
Hey
When did the world turn upside down
Somehow my head keeps spinning around
And I don't know how to come back down
For a minute, give me a second
(and)Hey
It's been a while since I've talked to my friends
Do they miss me like I miss them
I'm overthinking everything
Again, again
(wait)CHORUS
V2
Hey
I'm just a little uncomfortable
Feels like I'm in the same place I was
A year ago, did I waste my time
Feels like I'm dying
And I'm just being honest I don't know what I'm doing
Trying to figure myself out because I'm afraid of losing
I have so many questions I guess that makes me human
It will all work out, it will all work out
It will all work, I'll make it all workCHORUS
God if you're listening to me
Please tell me all I need to know
Because I just want to tell my dad "hey look, I made it" before I go
There's more to life than we thought yeah
I thought we figured it out yeah
Because the only thing I know is
I don't want to live without ya -

Indie pop ballad with 808 kit and swimming synths underneath. Lyrically about the struggle of wanting someone so badly but knowing that they're a fleeting relationship or feeling. Hypotheticals and overthinking getting in the way. BPM - 127

V1
I could help myself from staring at my phone
Hoping your name lights up even though it won'tI keep convincing myself all along
There is something something
I'm fucked so why am I holding on
To nothing, nothingCHORUS
Kiss my lips yeah we'll take it slow
Cuz everyone around us is out of control
I won't want to wake up I just want to know
Last night you're fine
But you're gone in the morningFeels like I'm somehow stuck in a dream
If all this was real then you wouldn't leave
God I hate the way my mind is lost in between
Last night you're fine
But you're gone in the morning
Gone in the morningV2
The way your eyes light up when you smile
Our little conversations I can't get enough so would you stay for a whileI keep convincing myself all along
There is something something
I'm fucked so why am I holding on
To nothing, nothingCHORUS
OUTRO
You'll think I'm out of my mind
So I'll hold it deep inside
You'll think I'm out of my mind
So I'll hold it deep inside -

Lyrics
V1
You're always staring out the window
I'm always wondering what you see
I hope it doesn't come off shallow
Wondering if it has to do with meYou never know just how you're feeling
But I'll fill those spaces in between
I never know just what I'm thinking
But I'll let you think those things with mePRE
Anything you need, baby imma be right there for, I'm there for you
Tell me what you see, baby imma be right there for you, I'm thereCHORUS
For you
For youV2
I wanna dive into your ocean
Only if you can help me breath
And honestly I wouldn't mind drowning
As long as you're right next to mePRE
CHORUS
BRIDGE
For you
Imma imma imma be
There for you
For you
Imma imma imma be
There for you
For you
Imma imma imma be
There for you
For you
Imma imma imma be -

Lyrics
V1
Sometimes I wonder if I'm living right
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
And I don't know why
Wish I knew whyI always feel like I'm not doing enough
Asking myself stupid questions a lot
And I don't know why
Wish I knew whyPRE
And every once in a while
I wonder what my life would be like from inside the screen
Like what we seen on TVCHORUS
I wish I could dry these tears and see it clean
But it's just so pixelated
When did it all burn down now I'm filled with doubt
Guess our program is outdated
Wish we lived in an 80s movie
But in a modern world it can't be the same
I wish we lived in a retro video game
oh oh
In a retro video game
Where we just hit save
Where we just hit saveV2
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
If I could fly or I had 3 lives yeah
Is that alright yeah
Up down and sideways on a remote
Constantly switching like a Nintendo
Can you hear the crescendo
(oh oh)PRE
