Worth Your Time
[Intro: Bill Murray with Charlie Rose]
Charlie Rose: "So tell me what it is that you want that you don't have"
Bill Murray: "Well I'd like to be, more consistently, here, y'know? Because it's so improbable and so impossible I'd just like to really see how I could last as really being here"
[Verse 1: Sam Lachow]
I write records with a broken heart and open arms, 'cause I remember when my only friends were Pokemons
I was a teenager too and that's why I wrote this song, when popularity's the only thing we focus on
To the valley kids in alleys stealing bikes and the lonely 11th graders thinking it's real life, it isn't, high school's all fiction, it's tough but soon you'll feel lucky as fuck that you suffered through it
I've realized I'm wasting hours dying, I mean at least everyone loves a good downwards spiral
I forgot a lot of life because of written prescriptions honestly Macklemore inspired me to admit my addiction
I get confidence from the liquor I pull off my shelf, that's why it's funny when people think I'm full of myself I'm on a thin wire
Still not controlled by the drugs yet, still got a whole lot of love left
[Chorus: Maggie Lou May]
I know it all can hurt sometimes, we all lived life alone
A moment can be worth your time, I'll be here when you're gone
[Verse 2]
I woke up thinking everyone's in a game against me
I wish the 'caine would fix me, I wish a train would hit me
My tank is almost empty, and I'm prone to bingin', I fuck a lot to feel better about my own addiction
I do a line hoping that will inspire art
I've been feeling close to the end so I'm trying to finally start
Most of the time I don't care if I die tomorrow and to my fans I gotta warn you this record is kinda dark
19 was confusion and stress, 20 was doing my best 21 was boozin' and sex
22 everyday was the weekend, the blow kept me awake and the xanny kept me from tweakin', I was thinking I was invincible I couldn't be stressed, music was poppin' I was thinking this was as good as it gets
At 23, I didn't sleep, up making records
At 24 I discovered depression
[Chorus: Maggie Lou May]
I know it all can hurt sometimes, we all lived life alone
A moment can be worth your time, I'll be here when you're gone
