Empty Words Lyrics by Oskar August

Peripheral

2019

[Intro]
I could be saying something of importance but I scribble some empty words
I should be doing something that would warrant this sleep and bought records
I wanna wake up and take on the day but I can’t when I wake up at noon
I wanna see just what lies ahead but I’ll wait, it’s coming soon
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be the one
No I just wanna chill and I don’t wanna see the sunlight
No I don’t wanna be the one
You know that I just want a chance to be somebody
And I don’t wanna have to run
To catch up with my future cuz it’s already begun yeah
And I can see it weighs a ton, so hear me when I say that I don’t wanna be the one
I don’t wanna be the one
No I just wanna chill and I don’t wanna see the sunlight
No I don’t wanna be the one
You know that I just want a chance to be somebody
And I don’t wanna have to run
To catch up with my future cuz it’s already begun yeah
And I can see it weighs a ton, so hear me when I say that I don’t wanna be the one
[Verse]
And every day I walk steadily like a centipede
My grandma keeps telling me that my melody is gonna bring jealousy gonna leave a legacy
I’m just in it for the memories, that’s why this is where I put all of my energy
I just wanna be a better me better me instead of the Beverly Hills but I’ll rage if an enemy will, grateful for every meal, and I know if I’m getting a deal, I’m gonna be me still you know I’ll always keep it real and that’s because
I just want a chance to be the one I know I can be
Gotta take the wrapper before I can taste the candy
I know everything is gonna turn out fine and dandy
Lion’s what I am yeah the resemblance is uncanny
All it takes for me to smile is just to see your faces
Smiling when you hear this that’s the reason that I make this
Hoping that you know that I take Noels like oasis
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be the one
No I just wanna chill and I don’t wanna see the sunlight
No I don’t wanna be the one
You know that I just want a chance to be somebody
And I don’t wanna have to run
To catch up with my future cuz it’s already begun yeah
And I can see it weighs a ton, so hear me when I say that I don’t wanna be the one
I don’t wanna be the one
No I just wanna chill and I don’t wanna see the sunlight
No I don’t wanna be the one
You know that I just want a chance to be somebody
And I don’t wanna have to run
To catch up with my future cuz it’s already begun yeah
And I can see it weighs a ton, so hear me when I say that I don’t wanna be the one
[Outro]
I could be saying something of importance but I scribble some empty words
I could be doing something so important but I’d rather play the same old chords
