From the YouTube video’s description, written by Lincoln himself;
“this is horrible and would actually be way cooler if it were a beastie boys cover but they just share a title and this isn’t what i needed to say really at all but i’m saying it anyway”
This song discusses, presumably, how Lincoln...
[Verse 1]
I've got friends who criticize the way I can't keep myself in order
I've got people rooting for me now
I've got friends in my corner
But it doesn't matter
I won't call
And I won't write
[Bridge]
Leave forever
Because it doesn't get better
And I don't regret
Staying out all night
[Chorus]
So I chase the light
First, I chased it away
Then it came back
And now it hates me
[Verse 2]
So don't sit there and tell me all about
How I deserve happinеss
18 years checking lost and found
And I still don't know wherе it went
My own irresponsibility is responsible for my bullshit
I was supposed to keep me safe
But I relied on someone else to do it
[Bridge]
And if I'm just an asshole
He's a goddess
And I'm his queen
And I never wanted it to end up like it did
[Chorus]
I guess that I still hurt myself
Because I still think that I deserve it
But even if I had real love
I doubt that I would have earned it
[Outro]
I don't just miss you as a friend
I don't just miss you as a friend
