Find a girl who's good enough to break your heart
Cause you need something else to write songs about
These one's are too self aware and it really sucks
How metaphysically irrelevant all of us are

And the Uke is cool but it can't stand on its own
Needs that annoying kid you know who can play "I'm yours"
Plus an entire band behind it or it won't sound full
So how on earth can you claim to play rock and roll?

The things I love usually hate me
Think that's probably why I can't sleep
And why I'm filled with insecurities
But I'd rather be alone than lonely

You say you've got a lot to say but never speak out loud
You're stuck in a cliche feeling lost in a crowd
You'd better get yourself a ride far away from this town
Cause these people all think you're insane

And you think that you're cool cause you write new songs real fast
But they don't matter and you're cheap, cause they're just first drafts
You're stuck in a single moment that has long since passed
So hurry up and write something new
Said hurry up and write something new
Said hurry up and write something new
The things I love usually hate me
Think that's probably why I can't sleep
And why I'm filled with insecurities
But I'd rather be alone than lonely
