8 Hours Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grandma is drinkin' again
I'm feelin' foolish, 'cause I thought she would quit
Is it something I did?
Something I did?
Best friend and I don't talk anymore
One day I woke up and it felt different
Is it something I said?
Or something I did?
[Chorus]
Can we pretend that everything's alright?
And that none of it keeps us up at night
Can we pretend that everything's alright?
Like we're getting eight hours
Eight hours of sleep at night
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
[Vere 2]
My neighbors been in love since I was a kid
Just signed the papers, they're calling it quits
They said it was easy
Was it easy?
'Cause thеir little girl came up to me and said
"Mommy's moving out, but shе'll be right back."
So don't tell me that's easy
[Chorus]
Please don't pretend that everything's alright
And that none of it keeps you up at night
Please don't pretend that everything's alright
You look like you got eight hours of sleep last night
[Bridge]
I'm one to talk about not pretending
I'm one to say you should let it out
But the truth is
I haven't said what I meant in so long
[Chorus]
I just pretend that everything's alright
And that none of it keeps me up at night
I just pretend that everything's alright
Like I'm getting eight hours of sleep at night
I just pretend that everything's alright
And that none of it keeps me up at night
I just pretend that everything's alright
I wish that I got eight hours
Eight hours of sleep at night
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
