about

Self-explanatory. Like 'Older Guy' and 'Make a Little Time,' this is a single take I recorded on my phone for posterity. Also filmed a version in front of my bathroom mirror last spring that my dad called 'tacky' but hey maybe you'll dig it: youtube.com/beautifulgroundmusic. Been a feel good jam in rehearsal since it's probably the only laid-back tune we've worked on. Enjoy.

lyrics

No more
Drinking to get drunk
Thinking I'm unloved
While sinking to the rug
Lip-syncing themes from sitcom reruns

No more
Staying up all night
Bathed in milky light
Caught speeding toward the finish line
I've seen this one a million times

It isn't what I want
It isn't what I want

No more
Fast-food after work
Plate on my chest, peeled off my shirt
I cashed my check for what it's worth
I ask to get what I deserve
And no more

Sneaking to the woods
Like Christmas morning in the hood
I wrote my songs with murky longing
Then I understood somehow

This isn't what I want
This isn't what I want
It isn't what it isn't
What I want is what I want

So tell me
How do I go give it up
Without giving up
How do I go give it up
Without giving up
