​uh oh! you’ve caught up with the present!

[Part 1]

[Intro]
Okay, can you please stop, please stop
I can't believe it's already 2023

I'm sorry, I'll try harder

[Verse 1]
The jingle of your keys as you walk out the door
I remember when it didn't feel like this before
And now it's gotten sore
Maybe I need to turn the page real soon
'Cause right now it's blank, and there's nothing to see
Maybe I should write it in myself, put a little more me in
But I got no confidence
The pencil breaks and I start to tense

[Chorus]
So what do I do nеxt
If I can't do it myself?
You know I know me best
And I can nеver get my shit together
(Uh oh)
(Woah)
And it's all on me
It's all on me

[Verse 2]
You are not my friend
You don't even really know who I am
I'm about to be the next big thing (Yeah)
No one wanna be a rock star more than me
It's been a year since California
There's so many people coming in and out of my place
And I wonder if they even recognise my face, my name
If I don't make it, something's gotta change

[Chorus]
So what do I do next
If I can't do it myself?
You know I know me best
And I ca-

[Bridge]
Hold on, let me write a new song
Something you could probably sing along to
Hold on let me write a new song
And it sounds like this
And it sounds like this
It sounds like, aah

Well god damn
How in the world could this happen
Why did the world let this happen to me
Now I'm bitter
Cold under sheets on my mattress
Somebody slip me the fastest way out
Out

[Part 2]

[Verse 3]
Started using make-up
Now gay men don't like me as much
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your girl
I want the best of both worlds
The last time I loved someone
It didn't really feel like love
And I've been thinking about what a relationship could be
For me
You could be my owner, I could be your pet
Text me til the night ends, I'll be all set
Maybe call me puppy, maybe bite my neck
Maybe all I really want is just to have sex
I swear I could care less, I don't get attached
Nothing bad could ever happen
Nothing bad could ever happen
Nothing bad could ever happen
Nothing bad could ever happen
Nothing bad could ever happen
Nothing bad could ever happen
I swear

[Verse 4]
In the cold, in the sprawl of it all
Would you laugh if I said I was lying
'Cause I was, I was lying
To myself and everyone else
It was never all for my health
I never really told you how I felt
But did I even really know it for myself?
Well

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know

[Chorus]
Curling up into a ball, albeit deflated
I think I gave up on hope of ever being sated
I was searching for a way to love my life and body
I got hurt, you got hurt, oh my god, I'm sorry
It's my fault, I'm a mess
Destroyed at my hand's behest
There's no peace without love
Think I best be going west
I might die all alone
Wash away with all the rest
Wash away with all the, uh uh oh
And you can't feel it
I hate these lyrics
And no matter just how hard I try
It never really comes out right, like
Is it even worth a try
Did you wanna see behind these eyes?

[Bridge]
I don't think so, but whatever, it's fine
Guess I was too slow to catch up with the globe
(The globe, the globe, the globe)
I could've set myself up like five to six years ago
But I didn't do shit for myself
And sometimes I feel like nothing
I'm nothing

[Part 3]

[Verse 5]
August 14, 2023, visiting the valley
Smoking on the back patio
And I'm looking at all these familiar trees
The album comes out in less than a month
Just been finishing up the details
I wouldn't believe you if you showed me the future
When I turn 21
I was floating down the creek
And I felt your embrace (Your embrace)
And you pulled me from the baggage
In the crawl space
The past few years been so rough
And I'm better for it now
I'm saying what I mean
And I say it for myself

(Listen to your heart, 1, 2, 3, 4)

[Bridge]
Yeah
Life is a tight rope walk
And you might get hurt
But you get back up
And we make it work
You can take your time
Sitting in the dirt
But don't stay put
You don't wanna lurk
In the deep damp dark
For the rest of your life
Don't you cut that rope
With the edge of your knife
In the realm of now
You can think that its right
But if when you go
Know the devil and its bite
Everything you love
It would never be the same
Its a mystery
What could be out of frame
And I hope you know
What you got to your name
California 2020
Everything was up in flames
It would never be the same
It would never be the same
It would never be the same
It would never-
It would never
Be
The same

[Outro]
In the clouds above BK
I can sort of make out your face
While I watch from the comfort of my couch
Sending kisses stuck in place
I like what I've got right here
And I'm glad I just made par
I'll be back sometime someday
I'll catch you at stars

Thank you so much
