LYRICS

I'm getting back to my roots
I'm getting introspective
I took a year off of thought
It changes your perspective
Cause I don't wanna think about the shit that makes me wanna end up dead

I'm getting out of my groove
It's getting harder to see
How I'm supposed to live up
To who I know I can be
Yeah, I don't wanna think about the person I know I have to become
I'll save it for later

Cause I'm young and free
Living for me
Say what you will but I don't wanna be who I am sometimes
I just want a simple life

Money and power may not be for me
Cause I don't want to have the responsibility
We all say we want change without changing our ways
So maybe change yourself before you change the world

Money and power came quite easily
When my life was a mess, back when I was a teen
I said I wanted change without changing my ways
I should have changed myself before I changed the world

Change yourself before you change the world
Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world

I think I'm losing my touch
I got too comfortable
Living the life that I feel
Like maybe I don't deserve
And I can't set any goals
Cause there is nothing to top for me

I haven't written my stress
I just don't know what to say
I feel like I can't express
Shit in a negative way
Cause I'm so fortunate to have it all
Everything I want and more

Cause I'm young and free
Living for me
Say what you will but I don't wanna be who I am sometimes
I just want a simple life

Money and power may not be for me
Cause I don't want to have the responsibility
We all say we want change without changing our ways
So maybe change yourself before you change the world

Money and power came quite easily
When my life was a mess, back when I was a teen
I said I wanted change without changing my ways
I should have changed myself before I changed the world

Change yourself before you change the world
Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world

[Reckless]

New year, but still listening to eli as always

[lacey]

this guy is painfully underrated that it actually hurts. I love his music so much

[alek.]

eli's voice reflects calmness to me.

[drinkcactusjuice]

"I don't wanna be who I am sometimes"
That hit different

[graceolson]

hey ur prob not gon see this but ive been listening to all ur songs for the past couple months...at first I only listened to worthless. kiss me in the rain is my fav song now and I listen to it at least 5x every day as well as ur other songs. I just wanna thank u bc everything u sing in ur songs I can relate to and that its been helping me get thru my shit as well. Ive been struggling with cutting a lot and just loosing sight of myself. even with all the medication I take it just wasn't helping me and I was just getting worse and worse until ur song worthless came on my spotify while I was thinking just really bad thoughts. every since that day I listened to all ur songs on repeat and I've been getting better every day bc of u. I just wanna thank u and keep doin what ur doin bc ur helping ppl even if u don't see it...u are in many ways <3

I discovered eli. last year and I’ve never connected to lyrics the way I have with these. And he just keeps making more and more and it fills me with so much joy

[rehansyed]
