Greg Barrow - Dose of Reality lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Let's take it back to ‘99 When I was just a kid | and everything was just fine | it's like I thought I had it all Then I went and wrote this whole album on Adderall | f** it though Nowadays I need a dose of reality Couple grams of life and a few lines of family My mom told me this is like some Jackson 5 sh** Well no offense to you momma but this is my sh**, they love it I did it all without a budget How come one day she love me and the next she saying f** it I know I got my head up when I'm walking ‘round, smiling now Go and call me Kanye cause they can't tell me nothing now And I don't know what perfect is But we could be the definition if you let me in And it's a good place to start Cause there's a f** ton of ways to beat a broken heart So it goes [Hook: Alex Hall] My heart is racing and it's 4am I don't know if it's d** or I'm in love again But if you let me I can show you my plan We can make our own we don't need all them Come on, come on, come on, come on [Verse 2] Let's take it back to '08 When I was just in high school and everything was just great I used to kick it on the field but now I kick it on the stage And every time I drink I lose my heart but don't remember names but Oh well you love and you lust But I do way more of the latter I got problems with trust I wanna say something to you without you sounding all sus I think my game is pretty tight but it'd be tighter with us, I mean Yeah And the leads me to today Where I learned that shortcuts only call for delays So I just wrote my f**ing story out page by page And it's a book where typos were not my only mistakes But I'm young I mean I'm only 21 So I can rewrite my sh** because it's only begun And I think That this a great place to start Cause there's a f** ton of ways to beat a broken heart Hit it [Hook]
