lyrics

To all my friends drifting in the doldrums
Just waiting for something to happen
I've got bad news
It’s all on you

Locked the door,
Won’t pick up the phone
The way you’re heading
You’ll end up all alone
Come on,
Prove me wrong

I’ll be waiting for you
We can go out
Party like we used to
Still got time now
To do the things we want to
Seems like time now

Why don’t we try something new?
Something that we’ve never done
That’s how you beat the rut
Don’t give it what it wants
Come with us
It’s gonna be a good time
It’ll be a night to forget

You can forget about the promises that you can’t keep
Forget about the person you were supposed to be
You don’t owe them anything just cause you were born
It doesn’t make you a failure because you got bored
There’ll be more once you leave this junk behind
Forget about the answers that you can’t find
And the lows that you slum just to come out dry

Think you’ve seen it all, but I bet you’d be surprised
Just how little you can trust your own judgement
Flanked by the algorithms of endless content

So forget about TV
Forget about drugs
Who the fuck you think you’re kidding with that epic love?
Lusting after dreams won’t get you out of bed
And they just rot, if your thoughts never leave your head

Forget how easy it is to detach
Look around
Take a walk
Relax
It’ll get better
