I Love Myself And I Want To Live
Lyrics
it's late at night, so much free time
a boring drive thru suburb roads
the GPS said there's a beach
and the sign says that it's closed
fuck the man we jumped the gate
whe had to make the bet
cuz in the end, when you're with friends
you take what you can get
i remember standing on the shore
the midnight fog was like a metaphor
a feeling like i'd never had before
tonight is like we're gonna live forever
tonight is like anything could change
tonight is like we'll die at twenty-seven
and that would be okay
thanksgiving break of freshmen year
returning home to see old friends
reassured to know with time
our bullshit jokes still land
can you guess what i'd expect
yeah i assumed the worst
we'd grow apart, a change of heart
a blessing and a curse
i remember standing on that shore
the midnight fog was like a metaphor
a feeling like i'd never had before
tonight is like we're gonna live forever
tonight is like anything could change
tonight is like we'll die at twenty-seven
and that would be okay
a promised life of pain and broken hearts
a body that will age and fall apart
countless times to feel completely lost
oh my god
looking for a reason to exist
like the destination in a dance
for 30 minutes everything made sense because
tonight is like we're gonna live forever
tonight is like anything could change
tonight is like we'll die at twenty-seven
and that would be okay
Song Notes
look first and foremost the name is a Nirvana reference, do you get it?? this song is actually based on my personal life i know i know i said none of this album is personal but it's unavoidable that i will put some part of myself into it... i remember, vividly, going to a beach at night in Florida it was foggy! it was orange?? i felt invincible~ there was a sign that said "do not go here" and we did it anyways featuring wisdom from alan watts, care of south park creators uh huh ps fuck cops
