Money
Jude Lyrics

We scream along with ballads like we even know the lyrics
We enthusiastically sing along to songs without truly understanding their meaning

Yeah, we've all got broken hearts from falling in love with restless wandering spirits
We've all experienced heartbreak from being attracted to nomadic and unpredictable individuals

You're not special and it's no big deal
You're not unique or extraordinary, and it's not a significant issue

Put your cash back in your wallet, we can score a free meal
Don't spend your money, we can find a way to eat without paying

The next time I wear my heart on my sleeve
In the future, when I openly display my emotions and vulnerabilities

I hope that I get greeted with a, 'aww nice jacket mate, can I try it on?'
I hope to be met with warmth and understanding instead of judgment when I express myself

And so I do my best to shed the individualistic mind
I make an effort to let go of selfish thinking and embrace a more collective perspective

But my songs still wind up in the first person
However, my songs continue to reflect my personal experiences and emotions

Try not to think of anything relating to this feeling
I attempt to avoid thoughts that are connected to this particular emotion

Sinking into my own consciousness till I struggle to breathe
Becoming deeply absorbed in my thoughts to the point of feeling suffocated

And there's a lot of shit that I need to do
There are many things that I must accomplish

And it doesn't involve waking up at 12 thinking of you
And it doesn't include spending my time obsessing about you

And how you'll be gone soon
And the fact that you will leave in the near future

There's no more cigarettes and no more spin and my lungs feel empty
I've quit smoking and engaging in self-deception, and now I feel a sense of emptiness

Pre-empting fate and pretending despite everything that I'm okay
Anticipating negative outcomes and pretending to be fine despite all the challenges

Cos this is the middle ground, the precious absence of understanding
Because this state is a place of uncertainty, where no one truly comprehends

Any fucking thing about any fucking thing
Anything at all about everything

I'm not special and it's no big deal
I'm not exceptional or noteworthy, and it's not a significant matter

Put your cash back in your wallet, we can score a free meal
Don't spend your money, we can find a way to eat without paying

The next time I wear my heart on my sleeve, I know you'll be in front of me
Next time I expose my vulnerabilities, I anticipate you being present

Brandishing a gun at me
Threatening me with a weapon

Taking everything but my money
Taking away everything from me except my monetary possessions

You'll take everything but my money
You'll seize all my belongings except for my money

Cos you know that I don't have any
Because you're aware that I don't possess any money
