Johnny Manchild & The Poor Bastards
Valencia
The sun beats through a break in clouds
I walk around my favorite part of town
I don't mind being alone
I do just fine being on my own
These pretty things are everywhere
They shade their skin and braid their hair
I knot my tie and sing my song
My best cologne but not too strong
But underneath the pretty face
And deaf and blind to my best days
Can two see past the shit we pull
If we stop acting so damn cool
Insta-perfect Valencia
Made to make us fall in love
Without our social media
Will we know how to be in love
Oh how man has come to evolve
Left swipe and like then revolve
I like you as you like yourself
Teach me not to be myself
Rate me against a shopping list
Cut down my edges make me fit
I'll smooth yours over and we'll be fine
We look so beautiful online
But god forbid we get to know
The pieces we left out of code
It's scary bearing your soul
So best not have one left to show
Insta-perfect Valencia
Made to make us fall in love
Without our social media
Will we know how to be in love
Oh how man has come to evolve
Left swipe and like then revolve
I like you as you like yourself
Teach me not to be myself
