lyrics

I need a "downer" just to feel "up"
I need a memory to feel love
I need you shoving me into your wall, just so I could feel "right at home"
I think that I lost myself in pleasures of the flesh
I lost myself when I stopped caring that you started dating other men
In fact it made me more confident
26 ain't going quite like I thought it would
The habits I picked up for dealing with my insecurities made me more insecure
I used to be more optimistic in my ways
"Advice My Younger Self Would Say":

Shit could be worse
We could be dead
There's beauty in life
We're dancing my friend
Shit could be Worse
We could be Dead
There's beauty in pain
So get over it!

Buy stuff!
I need applause so I can feel tough
I'm standing on a mountain of my fans just to keep it together
I used to say things like, "I wouldn't do it for the money!"
But all of my bills have been stacking up and the "Corona" just fucked up my touring
I'm pushing 30, I'm just wanna buy a place
BUT STILL MY YOUNGER SELF WOULD SAYYYYYYY

Shit could be worse
We could be dead
There's beauty in life
We're dancing my friend
Shit could be Worse
We could be Dead
There's beauty in pain
So get over it!

Finally I got a manager but then he dropped me
cuz he picked up "some indie band who's record was much cooler than mine"
(I feel you t swift)
and they had a viral video on youtube....
Finally I got a famous singer on a feature
but I'm not too good with ads, so not a lot of people really heard it...
I think I should hire a marketing guy or something?

Lessons that I'm learning 'cuz I really wanna make it
There's no room for animosity or hatred
Everybody else is tryna make it too...
I could never blame them
I'm very insecure in my career
Every "victory" is like a stepping stone and I'm not anywhere near the top...
I DON'T THINK I'M GUNNA MAKE IT

So meet me at the bar at 7:30(pm)!
Telling me about the shitty day you had at work and how you hate your boss...
SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER
Stumble on my street at 2:30(am)
(oh shit)
And if I'm lucky when I throw up in the gutter the reflection's a "younger me"
AND HE STARTS SINGING

that shit could be worse, so get over it
