Bad Ideas Lyrics

Of all the bad ideas I've had

This could be the worst one

I'm not much of a rapper

I'm just kind of a person

Had to read the instructions

How to get a new verse done

Write rhymes in a line

And then insert a few curse words

Had a couple of late nights

Got over the stage fright

Of trying to rap when I can barely talk in a straight line

But don't you feel embarrassed for me

I'll be fine I'm just exploring other options

Being home alone all day is fucking boring

And do I have enough thoughts to need to speak at this pace?

My mind is almost as blank

As the time my Macbook erased itself

Or my throat was sore as hell

And my sense of taste and smell

Was gone in sixty seconds

Like Nicolas Cage's bank accounts

Yeah that's a joke

It's not a good one though

To be honest with you there's a lot of shit that I don't know

Does every word need to be stylized?

Does every single bar have to end in a punchline?

Because this one didn't

If I can state the obvious

Bringing you back to me

Is all I need

If I can make the argument

There's something about you

I can't seem to release

I wrote a rap song

You didn't want one

So what can I do to get you to come home

I can try to sing

I don't mean to repeat myself

But bringing you back to me

Is all I need

Before you get up and leave

Before you get all cringe

Give me another minute

Let me finish my shit

This is a terrible business

It's not on your wishlist

I probably should've got you something better for Christmas

Coming at you with high risk

Of getting a fly mix

The end of the playlist

And then hit the lightswitch

And dance in the black light

And maybe get back lit

Take over the dance floor

Black out like a rich kid

And in the end it's only time that I'm wasting

I should probably erase this

Put the tracks in a box in the back of the basement

Because I overthink life

And I wanna be liked

And being over thirty kinda hurts on the inside

But I think thirty-six is just another distraction

I think age is just a number

And I gotta get past it

And grasp it for myself

There's nobody to force me

Got no reason to wrap

But I'm still fucking recording

If I can state the obvious

Bringing you back to me

Is all I need

If I can make the argument

There's something about you

I can't seem to release

I wrote a rap song

You didn't want one

So what can I do to get you to come home

I can try to sing

I don't mean to repeat myself

But bringing you back to me

Is all I need

Keep an open mind

Another way inside

Undercover

Undiscovered

I was confident when I was young
