Joei Razook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just need some distance
Or I cant focus on shit
And I feel hopeless
Like nothing I do is gonna fix this
So I keep going
Hoping maybe one day I’ll feel content
What a waste of time
It’s what keeps my mind
Awake at night
They saying I’m ate up
I been tryna find out what I’m made of
Stories that they telling probably made up
I learned how to stay down on the way up
They wish they had stuck around for a payout
Eighteen felt like a day dream
Nineteen I was too fucked up
Twenty two I had really found me
Twenty three I was already gone
I’ve been thinking every time I’m homesick I
Just need some distance
Or I cant focus on shit
And I feel hopeless
Like nothing I do is gonna fix this
So I keep going
Hoping maybe one day I’ll feel content
