[Verse 1]
Oh, I've been on a downward spiral
Wish I could kick the bottom with you
My happiness is in denial
I got no excuse
Baby, I'm screwed
[Pre-Chorus]
It's getting closer and closer and closer
Creeping up at super speed
It's getting closer and closer and closer
Saying you're exactly where you shouldn't be
[Chorus]
On a double yellow, on a double
It's like I'm permanently parked on a-on a double yellow
I got places to go but I'm about to be towed on a double yellow
On a double yellow, looking over my shoulder
It's over, it's over, on a double yellow
[Post-Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[Verse 2]
A nervous kind of disposition
Twenty something tryna have fun
They tell me I'm too old for fixing
I called up my mum
Said, "Could you come pick me up?"
(Could you come pick me up?)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's getting closer and closer and closer
Creeping up at super speed
It's getting closer and closer and closer
Saying you're exactly where you shouldn't be
[Chorus]
On a double yellow, on a double
It's like I'm permanently parked on a-on a double yellow
I got places to go but I'm about to be towed on a double yellow
On a double, looking over my shoulder
It's over, it's over, on a double yellow
[Post-Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[Refrain]
It's like I'm permanently parked on a
(Honestly, I'm just over at this point, it's like, I've got nowhere to go and I'm fuckin' sick of this shit)
[Outro]
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Double yellow
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
On a double yellow
Double Yellow was written by Amber Van Day & Phil Cook & Nick Bradley.
Double Yellow was produced by Phil Cook.
Amber Van Day released Double Yellow on Fri Apr 11 2025.
DOUBLE YELLOW is the “laugh or I’ll cry” song. It’s very unserious with silly lyrics about a time when everything seemed meaningless! Didn’t wanna write another I’M SAD, POOR ME song. I have loads of those. ⚠⚠
