[Intro]
Look
Nowadays (x5)
Look
Nowadays (x2)
Nowa-
Check me out

[Verse 1]
Nowadays, Nowadays
It's hard to find a dead zone
Nowadays, Nowadays
I'm spending time alone
Nowadays, Nowadays
Nobody has a home phone
Nowadays I prefer wires on my headphones
Nowadays, the future's in the air
I've got things I want to share, I'm kinda scared
Not that people won't care but more like Blair Witch
Life got really real in all fairness
Leave those fake Yeezys at the bottom of the staircase
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Until the wax'll make him trip and then he gets a nicotine addiction from a million hits
I wandered into a casino for the Benjamins
Left the place negative
Took a t-break and I haven't slept since
Either way the tetra-whatever-you-call-it gon make my head spin
Nowadays I'm not too proficient at making a first impression
20 seconds into conversation they be texting
(Talk to me!)
[Chorus]
Nowadays
I'm dealing with distractions in front of my face
I'm having problems
I put my volume to the maximum tryna match colors and shapes
Nowadays
Oh oh oh, nowadays
Oh oh oh, nowadays
Oh oh, I'm tryna match colors and shapes

[Verse 2]
I've never been to outer space
I'm working on inner peace
But every single Saturday I walk into a crowded place and the progress goes down the drain
We found a way to make an album play with record players out of frame
Now I pray my phone is tame
Applications updating and I still don't have a date
But if I want to roll then I can change like Jonah Hill's weight (get it?)
I need some help, I need some help, can you tell?
Too many drafted mails
Too many people just want to be Drake
I'd rather be Drake Bell
I need to find a way, not for a finder's fee
More because I'm only human and want to be true to myself
But nowadays everyone's lying to me like I'm gullible when I'm not
I know the trouble comes with the pot
Subtly subatomic building blocks
Do I get sicker with every cough?
It's an enigma
I'm thinking 'bout cursing a lot
But nowadays I try to watch what I say when I talk
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Nowadays, Nowadays
N-O-W-A-D-A-Y-S
Nowadays, Nowadays
Is that right?
Nowadays, Nowadays
Nowadays, Nowadays
Nowadays
I'm tryna match colors and shapes
