Groundhog Day by Em Beihold is about Beihold feeling like everything and everyone around her is changing, but she/her life stays the same. She wishes for change, but lacks the means to create the change, like being unemployed stopping her from buying a car and moving out.
[Verse 1]
All my friends are movin' on
Getting hitched and then they're gone
And I'm alone, all alone
I'm in the same room as before
With Mom and Dad right next door
And I'm scared I might be here forever
I love them, but some ties need to be severed
[Pre-Chorus]
And I said I'd move out last year
So why the hell am I still here?
[Chorus]
Oh, it's easy to say I'm okay
But this smile I'm wearing is fake
I'm suffocating
Livin' Groundhog Day
Day after day
Day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
[Verse 2]
My friеnd's baby's on the way
Just 22, but should I do the same?
But I'm brokе and unemployed
Another night staring straight into the void and
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna drive away
But I don't have a car, so I guess I gotta stay
[Chorus]
And it's easy to say I'm okay
Up and down these emotional waves
I'm sick and tired of livin' Groundhog Day
Day after day
Day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
[Bridge]
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
[Chorus]
And it's easy to say I'm okay
But this smile I'm wearing is fake
I'm sick and tired of livin' Groundhog Day
Day after day
Day after day
And I think I'm gonna break
And I think I'm gonna break
And I think I'm gonna break
