[Chorus]
Boring people
Boring lives
Wake up to the same nine to five
Drinking coffee, fight off the night
'Cause we, boring people
Boring lives
[Verse 1]
I'm aching
What's new?
I’m so vain
And I hate myself too
Cry baby
All blue
But I love my life, yes, I promise
I saved me
Breakthrough
I got my shit together, I read the news
But I’m faking
No clue
Talking the same shit as always
[Chorus]
Boring people
Boring lives
Wake up to the same nine to five
Drinking coffee, fight off the night
'Cause we, boring people
Boring lives
[Verse 2]
So ready
Let’s go
Sit tight
I can put on a show
Hey friends
Love you
I can’t believe they fell for it
Might watch
Paint dry
And reminisce about when I was a child
Get low
Get high
My dreams are the same as my problems
Like that role?
What?
[Chorus]
Boring people
Boring lives
Wake up to the same nine to five
Drinking coffee, fight off the night
'Cause we, boring people
Boring lives
Boring people
Boring lives
Wake up to the same nine to five
Drinking coffee, fight off the night
'Cause we, boring people
Boring lives

I wrote Boring People with Ali Payami on a writing trip to Stockholm around a year ago. Ali has been one of my favourite producers for a really long time and he’s worked on some of my favourite records – 1989 for Taylor Swift, The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind The Madness and Starboy. I was actually really...
It’s basically a song inspired by me getting bored of myself and all my bullshit. And it came about at a perfect time when I felt like I’d almost fallen into a bit of a routine and felt quite creatively frustrated. But in the few days of writing with Ali, I got so many things off my chest and into s...
It was so chill. Ali has a little studio at his place in Stockholm and we wrote most of the songs we did in those few days in there. For some reason, we decided to just record and write all of Boring People on the couch. It was kind of perfect because the feeling of the vocals is super lazy and mono...
