lyrics
'Airborne' every morning
like it's some kind of breakfast food.
Forget to sleep. Forget to eat.
Told you that I'm kind of a reckless dude.
Stressed out and nonchalant.
I'm exhausted but I'm restless, too.
It's not that you're not pretty,
I'm just kind of in a sexless mood.
Feel best when I'm next to you,
Feels like I've got way way less to prove,
Can't sit through a phone call, gotta move.
Got my pacing down, Now I'm in a groove
...or is that a rut?
Am I serious? I think I am, Very much so, somewhat
Timelapse, jump-cut
through the numb nuts and dumb butts
until I met you. Better trust my guts.
Did I give up on you too soon?
Only think about you like once in a blue moon.
Plus the orange, and the whites, and the reds
And any other lunar colors passing through my head.
Whiskey nightly,
Is that how I'm supposed to be?
If there are people near me,
Does it count as drinking socially?
Posting spree, my prose complete,
Make sure it all rhymes, then compose a beat.
Am I supposed to brag rap boastfully?
The people close to me, they mean the most to me.
So I'll write about them, myself included
3:00am, balcony, secluded
from the real world, 'cause I get stressed out
Life's a game, then I just won't dress out.
How do you suppress shouts?
More importantly
How do you suppress doubt?
...'cause I'm uptight.
All this writing keeps me up nights.
Life is too short, kinda like my height.
Everyone's afraid to fly kites, right?
Or is that just me?
I'm not the only one afraid to fly kites, right?
Or is that just me?
'Airborne' every morning
like it's some kind of breakfast food.
Forget to sleep. Forget to eat.
Told you that I'm kind of a reckless dude.
Stressed out and nonchalant.
I'm exhausted but I'm restless, too.
It's not that you're not pretty,
I'm just kind of in a sexless mood.
Seriously though, kites I won't fly them.
If stranded on a breezy island.
I think it's a control thing.
Terrified to unspool the whole thing.
How's that for a metaphor?
What if I'm just the guy she settled for?
Am I good enough? Did I match my bluff?
Rough patch coming up, teleport.
To a safe zone. Gotta cool off
No need to be emotional
Need some stress? Come to me.
I got a rollercoaster-full.
Time to ride it out.
no time to pout
"Nobody understands what he rhymes about"
No, I don't break hearts, just tear 'em out.
Why am I the only one they care about?
Now I'm thinking deep,
Seen the sun rise twice without a wink of sleep.
Forget to keep from going off the deep end,
Always out. How the hell do I sleep in?
Creepin' closer to graduation
Counting down to my detonation.
Two parts hope, one desperation,
with just a pinch of sleep deprivation.
Shake well. Break the spell.
Tell me I'm perfect, won't take it well.
Shake well. Break the spell.
Tell me I'm average, won't take it well.
'Airborne' every morning
like it's some kind of breakfast food.
Forget to sleep. Forget to eat.
Told you that I'm kind of a reckless dude.
Stressed out and nonchalant.
I'm exhausted but I'm restless, too.
It's not that you're not pretty,
I'm just kind of in a sexless mood.
