about

it's about choosing happiness even when the situation is a bit yikes x

lyrics

Push off the duvet and stretch your body
Shake off the scent of despair
If we’re all screwed, might as well just party
Instead of going nowhere, mm

Cause I spent like, a year, just waiting around
For life to start, get my dreams off the ground
But you see, it’s not as easy as it might seem
Feeling kind of lied to by the silver screen
I’m so done waiting to take action
Life’s no fun living by reaction

I, I kind of wish
I kind of wish you were here with me
Find a little time
I’ll pick you up, let’s take it easy

So we’re down on luck
We’re out of time
No money in these pockets
And the pub has served its last pint
I wish my brain worked
I wish I wasn’t so sad
But with you by my side
Well, it’s not that bad

Mm, it’s not that bad
Not that bad

I reframe it
Rephrase it
Sure it’s not perfect, doesn’t mean I gotta hate it
We’ve got enough to get it started every night
Don’t need much more when you get tipsy on these eyes

I, I kind of wish
I kind of wish you were here with me
Keep your gaze on mine, and hold me tight, let’s take it easy

So we’re down on luck
We’re out of time
No money in these pockets
And the pub has served its last pint
I wish my brain worked,
I wish I wasn’t so sad
But with you by my side
Well, it’s not that bad

Mm, it’s not that bad
I don’t wanna go back
To dark times and new lows spent solo
I’ll make my future so damn pretty that I let go

So we’re down on luck,
We’re out of time
No money in these pockets
And the pub has served its last pint
I wish my brain worked
I wish I wasn’t so sad
But with you by my side…..

So we’re down on luck,
We’re out of time
No money in these pockets
And the pub has served its last pint
I wish my brain worked
I wish I wasn’t so sad
But with you by my side
Well, it’s not that bad
