Unnecessary Things

(album: Cordi Elba - 2022)

Can I take to the light?
Everyday we get is a price
Even when we're bored of this shite
It's alright when you're shy
It's alright

She double-parked her old car
Fading sun, door ajar
She says "Why walk when we could be driving?
It's not the journey it's how we're arriving"
Dirty perfect
I forget
All my plans with few regrets
She spends her money when she's got no savings
Only get older what's the point in waiting?

Doing her own thing
Not banging on with dumb necessities
Finally found a girl that's loving
Going her own way

We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around

You should be bored once in a while
Press pause
I'm in fast-forward all the time
I'm restless for no cause
Breathless
But no one's told us they're dying

You find you limit
Wine next minute
I'm no critic
Don't take it when you can give it
Good guys keep living
But you're the villain

We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around

We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinking 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
Yo, aye

You know that feeling
When you're just staring at the ceiling
And you're trying to break right through it
But all you get is the sinking
Thinking that you could be elsewhere
Just living through the experience of life
Both hands on the steering
You going forward or left or the right

You're really bored of this shite
What the point of waiting tonight?
When we got the rest of our lives
To turn these wrongs into rights
And put our name up in lights
Before the day that we die
All these unnecessary things
We cannot take to the light
No, no

This is the shit we should be doing with life
This is the point where we should fly like a kite
It's alright now, it's alright now
To the light
What's the point when everything we do is online?
Take a seat, listen to Louis and I
It's alright now, we're just shy guys
