The Smith Street Band
I Don’t Wanna Do Nothing Forever
[Verse 1]
I keep dreaming that my hairs falling out
I wake up and fill a whole day with doubt
I’m still hurting and I don’t know how long
Til society feels like where I belong
People are planets and planets move slow
In elliptic orbit around what they know
All this time in silence all this time apart
Accustomed to inside blowing up the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
I was working on my birthday
Working on your birthday
What was it all for?

[Chorus]
If I’m just gonna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever

[Verse 2]
I keep dreaming that I’m falling off a cliff
I don’t try stop the drop I just go with it
Then I kick the pillow and I wake the dog who doesn’t understand why I just feel lost
What do we do when football season ends?
What is the difference ‘tween weekdays and weekends
My energy sapped by my weekly check ins
Hold it together while nothing happens
Hold it together, hold it together
[Pre-Chorus]
I was working on my birthday
Working on your birthday
What was it all for?

[Bridge]
It’s just me and all the other sexy Germans spinning through the atmosphere
Spent 50 euro on weed in the park and I got ripped off but I don’t care
We are hanging out with the setting sun
Our shared language is smiles and its drugs
I'm happy here lost and carefree
The whole world feels so far away from me

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever

Life feels pointless the distance breaks my heart
Killing time waiting for the world to start
Stay strong in the face of the fear
That good news don’t stay good for long around here
I’m not gonna be someone for everyone
But I don’t wanna be no one forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
Life feels pointless the distance breaks my heart
Killing time waiting for the world to start
Stay strong in the face of the fear
That good news don’t stay good for long around here
I’m not gonna be someone for everyone
But I don’t wanna be no one forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever
I don’t wanna do nothing forever

[Outro]
I was working on my birthday
Working on your birthday
What was it all for?
