LYRICS

Two more shots of that henney, yeah
One more time then I'm ready, yeah
Too much time on your hands
Stop thinkin bout it,
What good does it do just to think about it
You say you're gone, no stopping you
It's been too long, no rushing you
Save yourself from yourself
I ain't missing you bad,
I ain't judging you if you try to leave right now
But where you tryna go right now?
Can't you see the starting line?
I never tried to read between the lines
It was my fault babe
Don't make this too hard babe
If you win we both lose
I'm tryna get to you
You ain't even gotta choose

All I'm asking you is
Come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me
You don't ever come to me
All I'm talkin bout is
Come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me
You don't ever come to me

Said "No love intended for just a kiss
Had enough, I'm done fucking around
You're just a kid
You're too young
Good for fun for a night
You're just a teenager
You don't know about love
You don't know about nothing"
I might be, but I know you well
Remember all the love that you could've felt
Remember me, I know you'll never tell
It's your loss
Take that L, take that L, go to hell
No mercy from the jury
You ain't getting none, yeah yeah
Taken to the juvie
You're a child at heart, yeah yeah
Ain't no fucking movie cause we never act,
Yeah yeah
Cause you're all words with no actions

I swear these days all I say is
Come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me
You don't ever come to me
All I'm talkin bout is
Come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me
You don't ever come to me


But I Love You

Lyrics:
she's got some nice long hair
and you know that she's a bad chick
all the boys stare 
can't help it it's a habit
clothes that she wears
short skirt and a jacket
I just wanna get her all alone
on a mattress

I just wanna have it
I just gotta have it
rumors all around say her body is fantastic
all natural not a piece of her is plastic
head to her toes yea they say that she's elastic

yea the whispers all around say she has a reputation
don't believe it till I see it so I want a demonstration
and I've always learned it better with a hands on education
so I need a private session if you get what I am saying 
and they say that she's not easy no she's really complicated
but that only makes it better and it's got me so fixated
and I'm not the type to wait around I've never hesitated 
but shes got me captivated so the game I'm gunna play it yea 

PRE:

she's got a body like a coke fiend
she likes to keep the party going
these rumors got me feeling lonely
I want that body baby show me

I heard you look good in a sundress
I heard you look good when you're undressed
I heard you like to get away
I heard you like to stay out late
I heard you had a couple boyfriends
I heard they didn't treat you right
I heard you're hated by your girlfriends
cuz all the guys want you tonight 

they say she's too hot they say she's too cold
where she came from nobody really knows
they say she looks young but say she acts old
from everything I've heard she gets out of control

and all the boys say she was sent from the heavens
but I'm not too sure that this girl is a blessing
she's got the devils eyes and they'll cut you like a weapon
she's stuck in my mind like a bad obsession. got bad intentions

Lyrics:

all day
and all night
we'd stay up
it felt so right

we were so young
we were so dumb
we would get drunk
and then hook up

we were ok 
we were alright
stayin awake 
till the sun rise

we were in love
couldn't stop us
like a good drug
never enough

we'd hook up in my car
drive it so far 
play you guitar
you'd show me ur art
let down our guards
think with our hearts
Stare at the stars
we were never apart

drinking to young
way too much fun
out in the sun
or in when it's gone
took you to prom
dance to our song
dance all night long
till the lights come on

but it's too late now i remember everything
and how careless we could be
but it's too late now i remember you and me
and how careless we could be

it's too late now I remember everything
and how careless we could be x3

verse 2:
late nights
long fights
it felt right
we were alive

we would go out
we were so loud
we were so proud 
we had no doubts

week ends
and week days
we'd spend
our own way

we were careless
we were fearless 
we were reckless
time was precious 

we loved to waste time
whiskey and wine
drinking all night
asleep by your side

finally alive
we would just drive
never arrive
our journey was life

staying out late
testing our faith
running away 
we lived for today

young and so bold
never get old
screw what we're told
we can't be controlled!

but it's too late now i remember everything
and how careless we could be
but it's too late now i remember you and me
and how careless we could be

it's too late now I remember everything
and how careless we could be x3

Same Graves

oh your eyes they speak to me, you don't know it
oh so quiet but a symphony in my head
must you taunt me with beauty?
and you leave me in gloom again
oh i wish she was seventeen
oh i wish she was seventeen

unruly to the world
a poem that's unheard
she is everything
oh i know that it's not right
she's oblivious to her light
she is everything

oblivious

out again with your friends tonight?
same shit that i've heard a million times
you've been playing in my head all day
as i watch you through a screen far away

pick it up it's me that's calling
but you're busy with some alcohol and
i don't wanna bother anymore
this shitty feeling that i can't ignore

i've been thinking
are we better as friends?
are we better as friends?
i've been thinking
are we better as friends?
are we better as friends?

what the hell do you want from me?
i try my hardest to be what you need
you push me away when i'm there
and you say that i'm unfair

though i still can't forgive you
my final breath was when i last kissed you
i believed that you loved me then
the way you smile was it just pretend?

i've been thinking
are we better as friends?
are we better as friends?
i've been thinking
are we better as friends?
are we better as friends?

am i wasting time?
wasting time
wasting time
wasting time
am i wasting time?
wasting time
am i wasting time?
wasting time

written, composed, and produced by rooftub at home in September 2020 including the cover art.

wasting time

falling into deep sleep
i'm waking from my day dream
trying to breathe in
the air around me

feel the shame and the cold of my room
stay the same, when i meet you again
I don't know why i'm sad or feeling afraid
everything is falling apart

and i know everytime i drink away the pain
the feelings won't drown, they won't go away
I feel useless these past days all alone
in my room

I can't stay awake another night
thinking all about being present in another place
with all the people that i love
i just don't want to wither out
can't seem to dig up all emotions that i buried
long ago

i tried waking up before afternoon
is it so difficult to tell apart which
day i woke up to
the morning sun is beaming through my empty shell
(and things just never seem to stay the same)
i wish that one day i'd woke up sane
until then i'll keep myself safe
for now i'll stay in my room clawing for an escape
