Can I Lay On Your Floor?
Lyrics
sometimes i say i'm busy when really i'm just sad¹
sometimes i feel scared to be alone
sometimes i'm so paralyzed from doing simple tasks
i can hardly look at my own phone²
i panic when i think about everything i've missed³
but only after days of being sad
i wish that i could sympathize with who i was yesterday
how did i let my life get so bad?
can i lay on your floor?
can i lay on your floor?
can i bike⁴ to your house and open your front door?
i won’t be as lonely as before
why can't i be satisfied⁵ with everything that's right?
why can't i be happy just because?
so easy to compare myself to those worse off than me
i hate myself because i hate myself
can i lay on your floor?
can i lay on your floor?
can i bike to your house⁶ and open your front door?
i won't be as lonely as before
no i won't be as lonely as before
if i were to ghost⁷ on all the people that i know
it will be so easy to dissolve
no one else will notice my total lack of presence
just like i was never there at all
can i lay on your floor?
can i lay on your floor?
can i bike to your house and open your front door?
i won't be as lonely as before
i won't be as lonely as before
no, i won't be as lonely any more

Recording Notes
step 1: write a simple song
step 2: somehow keep fucking up the guitar part
so many times in the studio that you go insane
step 3: ??
step 4: profit!!
