lyrics
Why am I so addicted to my cell phone?
It’s not telling me anything I don’t know
Just that I’m anxious and bored
Wish I could be someone who doesn’t constantly need
To seek out their self esteem
From what other people think of me
And while I’m waiting patiently
I’m comparing myself to
What the younger hotter people do
But I mean it when I say
I waste my time in the best way
Even on the days that I enjoy this
Feels pointless but I guess
I could be somebody else entirely
Comb my hair and smile with my teeth
Get a job that actually makes money
Forget happiness eventually
But if that’s how it was
I’m pretty sure I’d have less fun
Cause I mean it when I say
I waste my time in the best way
Trying to add some point to what feels
Pointless so pointless
But I guess I could go somewhere else
A vacation from myself
Am I at the point where I’m supposed to ask for help?
It’s not telling me anything I don’t know
Just that I’m anxious and bored
Wish I could be someone who doesn’t constantly need
To seek out their self esteem
From what other people think of me
And while I’m waiting patiently
I’m comparing myself to
What the younger hotter people do
But I mean it when I say
I waste my time in the best way
Even on the days that I enjoy this
Feels pointless but I guess
I could be somebody else entirely
Comb my hair and smile with my teeth
Get a job that actually makes money
Forget happiness eventually
But if that’s how it was
I’m pretty sure I’d have less fun
Cause I mean it when I say
I waste my time in the best way
Trying to add some point to what feels
Pointless so pointless
But I guess I could go somewhere else
A vacation from myself
Am I at the point where I’m supposed to ask for help?

Not as consistent as Somewhere City, but the highs are nearly as high as that albums, if not as high, with it's lows not being as low.

These tracks are straightforward and concise, never relying on gauzy metaphors to complicate her declarations of love.
