Lyrics: 
I used to lose my mind for fancy things
Cos someone told me they were everything Now all my money's looking paper-thin
And the happiness I need
Is just a little out of reach
When I go from falling to flying
Not sure if I’m living or dying
And they tell me it’s all about the timing
No, I don’t know, no, I’m not sold
Then I go from wholesome to broken
And I’m running out of thoughts I could cope with
I was dreaming now I’m running through the motions
When I was younger I was dumb
I was stupid and in love
I used to tell myself back then I knew it all I always wanted to be older
And feel the world upon my shoulders
I fucked up can I go back to feeling small I don’t wanna be 10 feet tall
I don’t wanna be 10 feet tall
Running
Running just to slow down
The grass is always greener now That’s what I’ve found
Oh and time is just a lonely emotion Sometimes I wish I lived in slow motion
When I was younger I was dumb
I was stupid and in love
I used to tell myself back then I knew it all I always wanted to be older
And feel the world upon my shoulders

 I fucked up can I go back to feeling small I don’t wanna be 10 feet tall
I don’t wanna be 10 feet tall

Lyrics:
Slow burn
Wake up and I lean into the slow burn
I been getting older while the world turns And it don't wait
So I
Smoke first
Then I need my coffee with the sweetener Put a couple records on the speakers
I never change
So they say
Slow and steady wins the race So I wait
But I don’t know
I never
Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Wish I
Met the perfect person at the right time Never worked a 40 just to get by
but I forget
At least I
Drove a little faster thru the green lights Got a little drunk and spoke my own mind No regrets
So they say
Slow and steady wins the race So I wait
But I don’t know
I never

 Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
I never
Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Like a late bloomer

Late Bloomer

She told me she’s been feeling down a lot these days
And summer’s supposed to be for living without a care 
But she’s carrying a lot now 
Mm mm 

And she thinks that her karma got switched around
Like maybe she got his instead of hers 
‘Cause every other day she’s getting burned
In the summer 

Ooo oo I know it when she calls 
Ooo oo like reading sharpie on a bathroom wall 

Wide awake and sleep walking
Going through all the motions 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is 

He told me he feels overwhelmed a lot on most days
And Friday’s supposed to be the day that it gets better
But the boulevard is empty 
It’s a bummer 

And his life is parallel to some movie he watched in August
He forgot the name but he’ll remember if he sleeps on it 
‘Cause the good comes back around
He’s waiting for that now 

Wide awake and sleep walking
Going through all the motions 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is 

Time will creep up and speak softly
Another day ‘nother blue morning 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is

She Dont Even Know

Love U Like That

Your Love

Joseph Tilley is an artist/producer/songwriter originally from Central Arkansas, now in L.A. Growing up, he always loved making music on his Grandma's iPad in GarageBand. He taught himself how to record and produce music with tools and gear all handed down through friends. Playing drums in his High School Band, teaching himself guitar and piano, and playing music in the church as a teenager and young adult helped him get a good sense for playing live with others and growing his musical abilities. 



After Tilley's cover band parted ways, he realized he could start writing songs and releasing them himself. Joseph strives to invoke the same emotion in others that he feels when he hears the music he loves. 



Tilley's new music incorporates darker trap drums, dreamy synths, and strong melodies. He takes inspiration from RnB when writing melodies and chords. 



As a writer and producer, Joseph has amassed over 11 million streams for his work with indie-pop darling Emilee; he also landed his first #1 album in Asia for his writing and production on Will Pan's "Mr. R&Beats" album.
