Temporary Lyrics by Certain Self

2020

Our battery’s dimming
Chaotic spinning
Doesn’t feel scary since I’m always winning from like the beginning
It’s more of the same
It sounds so insane
The future is fickle but one thing’s so certain the ending won’t change

I asked you to leave me
Put a key in the dark
Can I ask for an extra
Little piece of your heart
We go the ways that we go
I was too stupid to know
Wait
I was too stupid to know

It was temporary
It was temporary
Turn the lights out
Hold your phone up
It’s so necessary
Did you get the message
Did you read the text
Turn the lights out
Hold your hands up
It’s so necessary

Sweating through my clothes and it’s not even summer
Had a lot to drink but it’s been such a bummer
My head is full of frequencies that ring from your lips to my cheek
And I wonder what you mean when you say come over
Held his hand under the table like a lover
Kissed his neck behind the deck like undercover
Your rainy days are years away so why not chase the feeling
While you’re feeling ok and the nights are getting longer

I asked you to leave me
Put a key in the dark
Can I ask for an extra
Little piece of your heart
We go the ways that we go
I was too stupid to know
Wait
I was too stupid to know
Once the light burns out
Your lipstick’s on the couch
You’re gonna cut your hair
And say you’re leaving town
Let’s listen to that song again
And get so high so I forget
Wait

I'm no good like a blind dude at Pictionary
So this the last to the 35th of Nevuaray
Damn, you knew this shit was temporary
We was on the wrong tract, urinary
I always hit you with that misdirection
Wanted thousand island but I gave you Putin dressing
I'm an asshole shoulda showed you more affection
But like a bad kid at the movies, you get no concessions
Wait

It was temporary
It was temporary
Turn the lights out
Hold your phone up
It’s so necessary
Did you get the message
Did you read the text
Turn the lights out
Hold your hands up
It’s so necessary
