"Hirap Bago Sarap"
-- capo on 3rd fret, if meron ka. --
(Bb-F)
Nagsimula sa patingin-tingin
Ang daming chances na wala pa rin
Tapos haluan pa ng low self-esteem
Ayan forever kang hanggang tingin

(Gm-Dm-Cm-Eb)
Kung ikaw mapa sa’kin, hindi ka iiyak except for tears of laughter
Pero bago ka mapa sa’kin, tama nang pantasya
Let’s get real
Konting effort din

(Bb-F-Gm-Eb)
Pwede bang tayo na kaagad?
Hirap muna bago sarap
Gusto mong katawang mapapa “Oh my God!”
Hirap muna bago sarap
Ilang sweldo na lang, long vacation na
Hirap muna bago sarap
Aba’y Lunes na agad, ‘di ba pwedeng relax na muna?/
Patapos na ang kanta, nakikinig ka pa. Hay sarap!

Lahat na binigay sa atin para lalong mapansin
Merong pampa puti, merong pampa payat
Merong honeymoon tea para tuloy ang ligaya
Asahang iiba ang aura mo, instant ito
Himala! One click lang nagbago na’ng mundo
Kung pwede lang i-skip na’ng proseso

Walang shortcut sa mga gustong mangyari
Walang shortcut sa pag move on
Walang imposible, kung kayang mag tiyaga
Kung may tiwala sa sarili, edi ikaw na!

Hirap Bago Sarap

Hello Beemo

recorded in 1 take in a closet
when i was 13 i was in a guitar center trying out thinlines all day bc they were my fave guitar and the ja-90 came out and i really wanted it. i got something similar (and nicer) 8 years later and i named him benjamin. 

benjamin
dont let me forget that summer
benjamin
remind me that i can do better
benjamin
i have never been so glad to be afraid

benjamin
impulse just becomes decision way to quick for me to even know my limit
i've been staring at the signs but i could never read them
you're a language i could never comprehend
did you even think that i could ever have it in me
just to pack 2 bags and fly out to a monster city
every passing minute makes me feel more tiny and more glad to be alive
or just glad to be alive

there's a high from being miserable and jaded
finding sounding boards for all of your frustrations
you confirm your biggest fears to the most pragmatic ears
and them pretend that it could somehow make you safe
but when i am around you i am nervous screaming silently while scanning every detail of your face
all this fear that i will never really feel this way again
lights the fire that burns me into being brave

you're my fleeting summer fuck up
i'm your tropical mistake
i have never been more glad to be afraid

benjamin

What you got, girl
A whole lot of loving
You had to wait, girl
You've gone so far
You've got your streetlights
You've got home
You've got your system

So pass around, I'll take you home

We get a little lone sometimes 
That's alright, that's alright
We get a little lone sometimes
That's alright, that's alright

Don't waste your bullets
On some old fences
We're up all night
Waiting for a miracle
You've got your own light 
In your eyes
That got me going

So pass around, I'll take you home

Music and Words by Turnover

Even you, up on that pedestal
The time will come when you will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are
And when it does, you'll remember me and the words I spoke, and wonder how you ever could have strayed so far

I Would Hate You If I Could (Cover)

no copyright infringement intended or any sort of that thing. it's literally just a summer thing.
