lyrics

Can’t hit pause on a riot
Wouldn’t do me good to deny it
I was killing time in a cover band
Wondering how a song should end
I sang ooh woo ooh

Can’t use my head if I fry it
Just need to look inside it
Thought how we accumulate regret
Wondering if we’re near the end
We sing ooh woo ooh

I’m going down and I gotta explore that soul
I’ve got a chance to explore that soul

What you need
It’s unique you
It’s alright

Can’t find love till you try it
Just need a way to inspire it
I was talking to your boyfriend
Wondering how a song begins
We sang ooh woo ooh

Whichever you is going to be is alright with me
It’s alright it’s alright yeah
