It’s a swing and a miss and the ball’s off the tee Been here since 9, now it’s quarter past 3 And my dad keeps yelling at me ‘Just swing through, it’s ease’ But this is the first time I’ve played since 2016 Cause the club feels so wrong in my hand As I’m swinging it fast and it goes in the sand And I looked up, couldn’t see it where it landed So I took another ball and I whacked it And I’m on ball 3 from a brand new box And I’m on hole 2, what the fuck, I suck They say it’s a game of skill But I just say it’s a game of luck

I’ve got a nice personality at least that’s what I’ll say when I don’t fit in and you’ll Just make fun of me when I come alone to the party Sit alone in my room, dreading the drive when I’ll arrive to the stares So I can find some reason so I can talk to you tonight ‘Cause I just wanna get to know you I just wanna talk to you tonight Cause I been freaking out about the conversation I’ll have to start so I can have a chance and I Get overwhelmed when I look into your eyes on that dreamy night My conversation skills aren’t so great so can you help me to relate to you? This party’s freaking me out with all the flashing lights, I got a fright when I approached your group ‘Cause I just wanna get to know you I just wanna talk to you tonight ‘Cause I just wanna get to know you I just wanna talk to you tonight ‘Cause when the party’s over and I’m driving home and I’m thinking it over I realised I should have just talked to you that night

The scars bleed at times The fight flashes back in my mind As he lunged forward with the blade Instantly my mind decayed It keeps me up at night As those images flash back in my mind The torture I had to endure As we bled out on the floor It flashes back in my mind every time I try to sleep And that crippling feeling takes over me and I try to fight it But I can’t help to hide it And those scars keep me up at night As the knife pierced through my skin It formed that cavity that was bleeding As my guts fell out on the floor I couldn’t hold it in any more It flashes back in my mind every time I try to sleep And that crippling feeling takes over me and I try to fight it But I can’t help to hide it And those scars keep me up at night

Dad Jorts 02:29
I don’t even know what’s goin’ on outside Don’t keep up with the news, I barely even go out and drive Just locked up in my own space, been taking it day to day I need to work through the problems that keep me awake ‘Cause I don’t even know where I live Just wanna find a new home, been running for way too long ‘Cause I’ve been so lost in my head Making my way to you, been running too long I’ve been so caught up in this mess that I made Like I’m flying in a web, yeah I just can’t escape ‘Cause I’ve been driving round the same block for hours now Feeling like an idiot ‘cause I lost my house ‘Cause I don’t even know where I live Just wanna find a new home, been running for way too long ‘Cause I’ve been so lost in my head Making my way to you, been running too long
