I Haven't Been Taking Care of Myself (Hallway Version) - Alex Lahey

Where do the boys go when it gets cold out? Do they have a place to sleep? Where did their mums go? Did they get taken? Or had they had enough of taking care of things? It's hard to say if someone's at fault If I don't do anything, is it my fault? Where do the girls go when they feel frightened? Do they have something to eat? Where did their dads go? Did they get taken? Or had they had enough of taking care of things? I've gotta find a way to make this feel okay When rock bottom for me is routine for someone else I'm gonna take care of things There's things I need to sort out I'm gonna take care of things 'Cause they're not where I want them right now I know there's good in everything And it'll show itself when you're gentle to it I'm gonna take care of things Where does my mind go when it gets stupid? Is there anyone in there? Where did my friends go? Did they get taken? Or had they had enough of going to therapy? Sat in a cold room, the corners feel friendly I think they'll take care of me My brothers are circles, my sisters quadrilaterals And they're all so pretty I'm gonna take care of things There's things I need to sort out I'm gonna take care of things They're not where I need them right now I know there's good in everything And it'll show itself when you're gentle to it I'm gonna take care of things I'm gonna take care of things

No one gave you license to sit in my backseat And tell me everything that's on your mind You know that usually you have my time of day But to be honest, you have crossed the line I need space because I'm tired but I'm not gonna deny you Your own sense of importance If it were anyone but you, I would not hesitate to Let you know that I'm not listening You've got champagne taste on a beer can budget You say you like things when you really just judge it You live in this world, that I think it's such a shame That you feel like that there is value placed on people's last names Everything you throw at me is coming out of nowhere Like bruises from the night before You're an old Hotmail account that will never be renounced 'Cause you hold things that can't be ignored You know my credit card is maxed and I'm behind on my tax But you still try to draw blood from the stone I need a minute to relax, so pretty please get off my back I'm breathing with my hands on my knees We both know that you know better You don't get five when you put two and two together I'm not convinced you have a lack of empathy You're just a misery guts, taking it all out on me

I stayed in the shower To avoid doing some useful shit My fingers went wrinkly And my hair had had enough of it Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh I slept in this morning 'Cause your bed is so much better than mine You had left for uni So I changed my phone's alarm time Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh You're on my mind And you're all mine You're the best night's sleep I've ever had I think you'll find If we rewind That trouble never finds A place to land Every day with You's my lucky day... We went to the movies Because I know you like Wes Anderson You held my hand the whole time And, no joke, you have the softest skin Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh You're on my mind And you're all mine You're the best night's sleep I've ever had I think you'll find If we rewind That trouble never finds A place to land Every day with You's my lucky day... Take it day by day You could be the one to drive me home Sitting in your car We're telling stories in a no-standing zone Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, oh... You're on my mind And you're all mine You're the best night's sleep I've ever had I think you'll find If we rewind That trouble never finds A place to land Every day with You's my lucky day...

I don't want another heartbreak I don't need another turn to cry I don't want to learn the hard way Baby hello, oh no, goodbye But you got me like a rocket Shooting straight across the sky... It's the way you love me It's a feeling like this It's centripetal motion It's perpetual bliss It's that pivotal moment It's impossible This kiss, this kiss (Unstoppable) This kiss, this kiss Cinderella said to snow white How does love get so off course? All I wanted was a white knight With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse Ride me off into the sunset Baby, I'm forever yours It's the way you love me It's a feeling like this It's centripetal motion It's perpetual bliss It's that pivotal moment It's unthinkable This kiss, this kiss (Unsinkable) This kiss this kiss You can kiss me in the moonlight On the rooftop under the sky You can kiss me with the windows open While the rain comes pouring inside Kiss me in sweet slow motion Let's let every thing slide You got me floating You got me flying It's the way you love me It's a feeling like this It's centripetal motion It's perpetual bliss It's that pivotal moment It's subliminal This kiss, this kiss (So criminal) This kiss, this kiss

You're the kind of person Who likes going to the movies alone You only drink cider And you're aching to move out of home I don't know much more about you But it seems to me that you're my kind I get so excited when I hear That you are coming 'round It used to surprise me when You'd say that you weren't homeward-bound I don't know much more about you But it seems to me that you do Things that people only do When they think that they like me too I want you Even when you're out of town Even when we're up and down I want you Even when I'm all alone Even when we're on the phone I want you Even though you'll never know From the day you said hello I want you You make me feel happy I don't know what I do that keeps you around If we were in high school You would have more friends than me, no doubt I don't know much more about you But it seems to me that you do Things that people only do When they think that they like me too I want you Even when you're out of town Even when you're up and down I want you Even when I'm all alone Even when we're on the phone I want you Even though you'll never know From the day you said hello I want you I want you Even when you're out of town Even when we're up and down I want you Even when I'm all alone Even when we're on the phone I want you Even though you'll never know From the day you said hello I want you

Someone save me the front seat at the funeral Life and death has become so consumable Hear the warnings but I'll think about it later Take or leave it, yeah, cause nothing lasts forever Things look bad but hopefully not terminal Buy it up before it's unaffordable Won't look now cause there's always someone watching My metadata's gonna tell me what I want Jesus Christ, I am scrolling all the time I'm just used to it I swear I'm fine I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker for punishment Drag my feet because I hate responsibility I'm generationally lacking anonymity Feel the algorithm, move your body with me We're all the same and I'm so fucking tasty Jesus Christ, I am scrolling all the time I'm just used to it I swear I'm fine I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker I'm feeling so good I'm feeling so good I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker for punishment I'm a sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker Sucker, sucker, sucker
