lyrics

I should like the way it feels
Instead I make a big ordeal
In a loud room, her perfume
Alcohol was consumed
Thought that I wanted to be there
She played suit, no dispute
But I looked for the escape route
Decided to give up because of fear

There’s so many places
I would rather be
Tell me why I waste my time here
I don’t want to do this
Please will you set me free?
I think I might have lost my mind here

I’ve been to this place before
But that fact we will ignore
I was in doubt, I reached out
Asked her if she was about
And ended up at her place again
She wore a big frown
Dressing gown
I told her that I felt down
And that's the reason that I was there

I’ve got better places to be
Yeah, I’ve got better places to be
I used you, low in my self-esteem
I’m sorry 'cause I know it was mean

Yeah, I've got better places to be

'Cause there’s so many places, that I would rather be
Tell me why I waste my time here
I’m turning into someone
That I don’t want to be
I think I might have lost my mind here

'Cause I've got better places to be
Yeah, I've got better places to be
I used you, low in my self-esteem
I'm sorry 'cause I know it was mean

A very unique addition to the PUP discography that brings a multitude of new sounds compared to previous works, not bad by any means, just a little different. Go see them live, chaotic. Shmoob

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
