Lyrics

At the end of every season I’m spent up
Keep thinking this will be the one.
Hesitation lingers till I’m unreasonable
As if you care, I know you got your own stuff going on

You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?

Can’t we talk about it once we’ve slept?
When can we, yeah can we, work it out?
Meditation just makes you more strung out
I wish you had a guru to tell you to let it go, let it go

You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?

You don’t have to pretend you’re not scared
Everyone else is just as terrified as you.
Medication just makes you more upset
I bet you got a lot to prove I know you’re still the same

You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?

[chisma]

I work at target and always hear this song every once in a while. Just cant get it out my head lol.

[adirondack]

“You don’t have to pretend your not scared, everyone else is just as terrified as you” Loved Courtney before this song but this tune solidified her for me. And every time I hear that line I feel good.
