The Joy of Missing Out
[Verse 1]
Your head hurts from all the division in the modern world
Your head hurts from acts of derision in the modern world
You're constantly told by cranium code you're not good enough
It takes fakers to fake, just making money and taking everything you've got
[Chorus]
What about the joy of missing out?
I miss the joy of missing out
Northern skies and crystal streams
The eyes of a loved one and all their dreams
A New Year's Eve with no one missing
Are the only things I need
[Verse 2]
You're getting a newsfeed nosebleed every second day
It feels like a Hollywood horror-show of neighborhood decay
Fear and Loathing in the Emperor's Clothing is the play of the week
For everyone succumbs to the racket that comes from a losing streak
[Chorus]
Do you remember the joy of missing out?
I miss the joy of missing out
Northern skies and crystal streams
The eyes of a loved one and all their dreams
A New Year's Eve with no one missing
Are the only things I need
[Outro]
Northern skies and crystal streams
The eyes of a loved one and all their dreams
A New Year's Eve with no one missing
Are the only things I need
