Born to Stay Lyrics by Future Teens

Breakup Season

2019

[Verse]
Here's to my absent friends
When will you be back again
Is it sad I think someone
Stayed in the town where you grew up
Technically I'm a mile away
Close enough to see the face
Of every girl from my high school class
From New York on dating apps
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm glad I stayed
Close enough to see my mom and dad watch the baseball game
Nothing changed
Guess that when you stay you also stay the same
[Chorus]
I've been so busy screaming into the void
Never noticed I was making a choice
To be just one more lonely, sad boy missing the point
[Verse 2]
Cue the lights, fade to black
Maybe this time no laugh track
'Cause I'm done there and I've been bad
I should be happy where I'm at
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want
Is someone who will wait around while I am gone
Is it wrong
To have a fear of missing out on moving on
[Chorus]
I've been so busy screaming into the void
When really was making a choice
To be just one more lonely, sad boy missing the point
Wishing was easier done than said
Honestly I don't know what it is I expect
'Cause I never heard the void once scream back
I guess that silence meant I should get over it
[Outro]
Get over it
Get over it
Get over it
