Look At My Life

  • How long have I got
    In the hot light 'til the shine rusts?
    I've been thinking through the hard stuff
    Over light drugs like every night
    No, you don't need to come over
    'Cause I'd crowd please and I'm tired
    Slowly morphed into a poser
    Barely know her anymore

    Do I look high-functioning or
    Is my facade crumbling?
    Oh god, don't actually answer me, Caroline

    But, oh well, look at my life
    Bet you can't tell, but it's kind of a bad time
    A new spiral every night
    Bawling my eyes out
    No, but I'm so fine
    Yeah, I might just shut up and drive
    Hope I don't crash and blow out the headlights
    My nightmare actualized
    Got what I wanted, it doesn't sit right

    I just got to the party
    With the big shots and the barbies
    Empty talk and talk and talk until my ears bleed
    He's holding a pill, he thinks that I should take one
    But I'll raise him to the whole bunch
    I'm kidding, God, he thinks I'm stupid
    What a gut punch, but then we go

    Downtown, there's no medicine
    I'd spit out if it promises
    Slowing down voices
    Don't want to hear a sound

    But, oh well, look at my life
    Bet you can't tell, but it's kind of a bad time
    A new spiral every night
    Bawling my eyes out
    No, but I'm so fine
    Yeah, I might just shut up and drive
    Hope I don't crash and blow out the headlights
    My nightmare actualized
    Got what I, what I

    Mm, maybe if I smile enough
    I'll get away with giving up
    I'll move across the country
    Just to judge myself, like, just as much
    As I do when I'm sitting here
    I miss my friends, I disappeared
    And haven't seen 'em in a year
    Oh god, what am I doing here?

    But, oh well, look at my life (look at my life)
    Bet you can't tell but it's kind of a bad time
    A new spiral every night (every night)
    Bawling my eyes out
    No, but I'm so fine
    Yeah, I might just shut up and drive
    Hope I don't crash and blow out the headlights
    My nightmare actualized
    Got what I wanted, it doesn't sit right

    Ooh-ooh-ooh (right)
    I got what I wanted, it doesn't sit right (right, right)
    Ooh-ooh-ooh (right)
    Got what I wanted, it doesn't sit right (right, right) Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Gracie Abrams
