i’ve come to realize that when i sit here with my guitar
i’m always looking for another verse that i could start
i try a hundred different chords and then sit in silence

i’ve started yet another project just to sober up
forget about the other seven that i’ve barely done
i don’t know why i can’t just play a song that’s already written

Am Am C G
Am 000020 F G

i don’t know why i’m always looking for somebody new
i don’t know why i’m always craving for a change of view
i put my dreams up on a pedestal
knowing that i’ve built it on an older one still

F C F C
Am C F G

see, i’ve been wanting a simple quiet kind of life
since i was 12 i’ve wanted something like a 9-5
i told my family that i only really need a small apartment
well now i got it

and suddenly everything is calm, but i’ve been spinning out
and nothing’s wrong, but something’s telling me, oh it’s shouting now
that i’m not where i’m supposed to be 
there’s something there out for me
so i build another project to believe

i’ve come to realize that when i sit here with my guitar
i grab on every other detail just to pull apart
i’d pull the planet into shreds and then sit in silence

i tell my friends that when i’m done with school i’ll move away
but tell the truth, i know that every city’s just the same
i don’t know why i’m always looking for a change in the rhythm

i don’t know why i’m always looking for somebody new
i don’t know why i’m always craving for a change of view
i put my dreams up on a pedestal
knowing that i’ve built it on an older one still

cuz i’ve been wanting a simple quiet kind of life
since i was 12 i’ve wanted something like a 9-5
i told my family that i only really need a small apartment
well now i got it

and suddenly everything is calm, but i’ve been spinning out
and nothing’s wrong, but something’s telling me, oh it’s shouting now
that i’m not where i’m supposed to be 
there’s something there out for me
so i make another project to believe

a simple, quiet kind of life (voice memo)
