[Verso 1]
D A
Saw this coming, in a vision all a sudden

On the sofa, watchin' re-runs of Friends

Wish my life was like on TV, everything would be so easy

But it's not, man

Now don't text me, don't try

There's better ways to waste your time tonight

[Verso 2]
D A
Am I love drunk? In my head, I feel so fucked up

Like I can't hold my liquor anymore

I hope I won't hungover

When I wake up in my oven

And I found myself back at the start again

And I said to myself, a couple months ago

That this time it'll be different

That I would mess this up

The best I've ever had

And just when I got used to thinking, this time it'll last
