I wrote this song when I realized just how lonely I had gotten while living in Germany. I was isolated by the language, the pandemic didn't help matters, and I felt defeated. This song is about escape, and how there’s always a way out if you really want it.
lyrics
Don’t be late
Is what they said to me
Don’t tempt your fate
It’ll come to you
Eventually
And I thought that for a moment
I was part of something more
Opened up my window and I closed the front door
And I snuck out with no one knowing
I was never going back
This is my life hack
Stand up straight
Is what they said to me
Don’t stay up late
You can dream when you sleep
And I thought that for a moment
I was part of something more
Opened up my window and I closed the front door
And I snuck out with no one knowing
I was never going back
This is my life hack
Hold on tight
This will be the ride of your life
And if you wanna fight
You can always go outside
And I thought that for a moment
I was part of something more
Opened up my window and I closed the front door
And I snuck out with no one knowing
I was never going back
This is my life hack
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
