Castaway

(álbum: Arrested Youth & The Quarantiners - 2020)

I got on a livestream to see my friends
Hoping this day would finally end
I'm sitting in my room, screen in my face
There are the memories I can't erase
You say the youth are all messed up
But you'd be too, if you lived like us
You seem to have time to always judge
So make yourself useful and pack my lunch

I'm a castaway
I don't wanna listen to a word you say
Cause I don't wanna be another whack cliche
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah

You say that at my age, you had a house and a kid
But I don't even know what a credit score is
Come to think about it, do I even exist?
There's so much going on right now, it's hard to dismiss
Still, I solemnly swear that I'll get that big house
Yeah, I solemnly swear that I'll figure it out
I know it's kinda rocky these days, but I'll admit
That I could probably readjust my attitude a bit

I'm a castaway
I don't wanna listen to a word you say
Cause I don't wanna be another whack cliche
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
I'm a castaway
And I know there's gonna be a price to pay
But I don't wanna have it any other way
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah

I feel like Tom Hanks screaming "Wilson" all day
I almost forgot my name
Tell me, why should I try when you always deny
Everything that I say
We'll get it right one day

I'm a castaway
I don't wanna listen to a word you say
Cause I don't wanna be another whack cliche
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
I'm a castaway
And I know there's gonna be a price to pay
But I don't wanna have it any other way
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
