basic girls
basic girls
what’s the choice?
you spent years on this voice
basic girls
basic girls
workin’ hard to make it easy for you
to think you’re making it easy for me
basic girls
basic girls
we aspire
to being tired
you might not’ve noticed me
and that was the point
but i don’t know why no one’s kissed me
in a while, guess those things are joined
good luck hiding well
what you hide from yourself
basic girls
basic girls
if you’re gonna clock me
not before my coffee
basic girls
high school eggs
wrote mean songs about them
i thought their lives were some
ideal way to be
now i’m a basic girl
blacking out on dates when
i get my one vacation
you might not have noticed me
and that was the point
but i don’t know why no one’s kissed me
in a while, guess those things are joined
good luck hiding well
what you hide from yourself

Do Nothing

gas pedal’s stuck and got me drinking again
fucking my way through tricking myself into making friends
you saw me throw up and you’re still here
you saw me throw up and you’re still here
walk me to the bar when i can stand
you think i’m mysterious
that’s just my bad communication
we have that in common
so i’m learning patience
what’s this in you
that’s making me feel seen
we’re just in your room
watching antenna tv
having nothing to do
feels good when i’m with you
nothing to do
when i’m with you
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
stopped drinking again and i’m feeling sick
who even am i without my music?
you like it but why don’t i like myself?
you like it but why don’t i like myself?
i’m wanting care to quit
nothing to do feels good when i’m with you
nothing to do when i’m with you
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
feels like i’m enough
