Pretty Good/Lonely
Lyrics
How to pass the time? I'm skipping every second
What's there left to rhyme? I'm just a broken record
I'm beyond the light, walking without a purpose
Hope I wasn't right, I only scratched the surface
I should be deaf right now
Gotta watch my back, so let's sit right down
And make my last call to tell my momma that
I'm doing pretty good and I'll be just fine
Hung up my phone, still being chased by my shadow
Hopped up on a train, mind the gap, I'm just
A tadpole swimming upstream for a better view
Lonely on Wednesday night, I need an interlude
So let's end this interview on as much of a high note
'Cause if you knew what I know, you would probably walk away
Maybe we'd get lost for days, fall out of this awkward phase
Finally find some space up in your bed or in my coffin case, yeah
And I may fall to pieces, all the more reason
Not to waste my breath
But when you call me screaming, it's back to dreaming
I just stayed in bed
I was a bitter man, so used to feeling like
The little man when I was heartbroken, so I learned to never
Give a damn, told myself to only make some simple jams
Never let her see you happy, only show the bigger plans
How to pass the time? I'm skipping every second
What's there left to rhyme? I'm just a broken record
I'm beyond the light, walking without a purpose
Hope I wasn't right, I only scratched the surface
I should be deaf right now
Gotta watch my back, so let's sit right down
And make my last call to tell my momma that
I'm doing pretty good and I'll be just fine
Isn't it so sweet?
Don't you feel so free
Knowing you could be? (Be just fine)
I feel the moment fleeting
From underneath our feet
I start to fall, but not asleep
How to pass the time? I'm skipping every second
What's there left to rhyme? I'm just a broken record
I'm beyond the light, walking without a purpose
Hope I wasn't right, I only scratched the surface
I should be deaf right now
Gotta watch my back, so let's sit right down
And make my last call to tell my momma that
I'm doing pretty good and I'll be just fine
Temporary security, my mind is searching for impurities
Day-to-day reflection, giving restlessness attention
I'll be there for you, but will I truly be there for me? (Be there, for me)
Your repeated validation humbles my anxieties
Feel like I'm living in a loop, same shit
Every day, daily actions on mute
Move forward or wait in the past?
Anything to get my head out my ass
Lonely is an understatement
Girl, I'm missing your loving crazy
Think I'm going under, baby
(Don't let me drown)
Shooting stars beyond amazing
Can't explain the years of waiting
Up on my roof
Just wishing for you (Wishing for you, wishing for you)
Just wishing for you (Wishing for you, wishing for you)
Just wishing for you (Frank Ocean thinkin' about you)
Just wishing for you (Check it, ooo)
Once upon a time, I was me and I wasn't shit
I woke up thinking of you so I took a couple hits
So everything fades to gray, the takeaway is aching pain
I'm crying tears of Pinot Grigio back in my chalice
Ain't no angel Alice, you tipped me over, my fateful balance
Plummeting to the depths of rock bottom and I'm still getting stoned
And asking questions with open answers that no one knows
Maybe the problem is me and I must be all alone
(We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected

How to pass the time? I'm skipping every second
What's there left to rhyme? I'm just a broken record
I'm beyond the light, walking without a purpose
Hope I wasn't right, I only scratched the surface
I should be deaf right now
Gotta watch my back, so let's sit right down
And make my last call to tell my momma that
