Boring 03:04
Already feel like Iā€™m getting too old to waste all of my time Canā€™t face the guilt when I know half my lifeā€™s not even mine to decide But when youā€™ve already spent your day doing whatever your boss has to say It can be hard to have the motivation to do something just for me Sometimes I want to be boring but I hate letting myself down Should write a song or be drawing but I just wanna go lie down I know that I should be productive But I canā€™t force myself to feel it When I donā€™t feel it Sit at my desk job watching the clock and counting the hours go by Daydream of all the millions of things I could do if I just had the time But when youā€™ve already had enough of never doing the things that you love It canā€™t be hard to improve yourself when everything else is so tough Iā€™ve got too much on my plate to waste my evening plans Iā€™ve got too much on my plate to waste the time I have

Best Friend 02:46
Thereā€™s no point in me putting my heart on the line When youā€™ve gone from a person who was there for me to just some guy I never wanted to fall out or fall out of touch But Iā€™m guessing that those 60 miles were just too much It no longer breaks my heart Anybody else could see that weā€™ve been drifting apart Best friend is a concept rather than a contract And if you never try youā€™ll obviously lose contact And Iā€™m not sad about that Maybe in the future we could grow close again Itā€™s not like thereā€™s been an argument I just no longer feel like youā€™re my friend I know you feel like youā€™ve been trying, I know lifeā€™s been rough Itā€™s not that I donā€™t love you, I just donā€™t see you enough To feel like you are close to me, we never even talk Stopped kidding myself, donā€™t want to do that anymore Je te vois presque jamais

Iā€™m not the best, but I donā€™t have to be But when Iā€™m scrolling through my phone Comparing their work to my own itā€™s not a healthy place to be Itā€™s a fucking bad habit but to stop it isnā€™t easy Yeah I wouldnā€™t recommend it but stop it isnā€™t easy Iā€™m learning to appreciate the things that I see They say comparison will kill you and itā€™s been killing me Iā€™m just trying to create what makes me happy Donā€™t need your constant validation I can just be how I wanna be I try so hard to do things for myself Sometimes I dunno where to start and it breaks my little heart When I feel like Iā€™m too slow When the point is that you love it then you might as well give it a go But in a sea of greater talent itā€™s so easy to get lost though I know that Iā€™m fine, know Iā€™m fine in real life But when I think of, think of what I dream of, it starts to cloud my mind But I guess if they can do it so can I

All my life Iā€™ve made excuses for my shit behaviour My head is in the clouds, I canā€™t be blamed Iā€™m cute and so you let it slide Most of the people I knew were the same anyway I only left you waiting for half an hour, come on you know I tried Fuck it itā€™s alright cos I am only the creative type So I donā€™t have to try Funny how Iā€™ve got no patience now for taking other peopleā€™s shit I guess cos I know now if can change, then they can also get over it Iā€™m a natural mess and I donā€™t always see the things that I should do But Iā€™m trying now and I wanna prove, wanna show that I respect you I canā€™t quite believe how easy is it to get by By saying itā€™s not my fault, Iā€™ve just got a creative mind Flaking like the paint that Iā€™ve left you to watch dry Itā€™s not my fault you can blame me Iā€™m just the arty kind

Expectations 03:43
My mum and dad and they were only nineteen And so did my mumā€™s mum and her mum Now Iā€™m numb to following this ritual, stupid routine When I was still a kid being brainwashed by another generationā€™s dream When I was young I drew pictures in all of my books of nuclear families and everywhere I looked I was led to believe that that was how my life was supposed to be And when I think back through toys I had in the 90s That plastic shit, each fucking doll teaching girls to bring up families Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now Oh honey donā€™t you roll your eyes and say Iā€™ll change my mind when I grow up some more and Iā€™ve settled down Iā€™ve had the same conversation about 100 times And youā€™ll say Iā€™ll feel differently I just havenā€™t met ā€œthe oneā€ Well what the fuck does that mean? You donā€™t know me I think this conversationā€™s done I donā€™t have to live the way our parents did I think Iā€™ve had about enough of all these expectations I donā€™t give a fuck about the choices that you make Just donā€™t expect for me to fake an interest or to do the same
