the sellout

(album: THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! - 2021)

I think I'm an emotional sellout
Smiling at you 'cause you said that it's what you deserve
I guess I get your love in return

It won't be long
'Til the getting better

5 pm is dark in November
Seventeen's gone, and I can't kick this cold
But the mornings are lighter
And I bought a lottery ticket

It won't be long
'Til the getting better

Ooh, I'm waiting, it won't begin
Ooh, oh, let me in
Let me in

I used to think that love was a fire
Stayed underwater so I couldn't get burned
But I forgot how to swim
And then the ship started sinking

It won't be long
'Til the getting better
It won't be long

Ooh, I see it, it's closing in
Oh, let me in, no
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in

A couple more miles to your doorstep
Could be pushing my luck again
Hoping you're home
But your room's got a light on
And I bought a lottery ticket

It won't be long
'Til I'm gonna win it
It won't be long, woah
