Ben Beal - goodnight moon

Copied!

{verse 1}
It's an adventure
There's no regretting
Seems like every single step i take connecting
About a year ago i thought i'd have to work
Now she in my green room and she taking off her shirt
19 with a 3 hour lecture i was skipping for my shows
Skipping meals, spending lunch money on my clothes
How did i survive
I should've died upwards of 20 times
Used to tell my friends i'd be gone before turning 25

{chorus}
Now i'm smoking spliffs reading goodnight moon
I'm used to watching life through a birds eye view
And i can see my home, i see еveryone i know
This raincloud follows me еverywhere i go
Now i'm my room singing goodnight moon
Be careful of who you saying goodnight to
And i can see my home, i see everyone i know
This raincloud follows me everywhere i go

{part ll}

{verse 2}
Sorry for the interruption
Always been so camerashy
Out here chasing butterflys
My window sill is gutter sized
Filled with empty bottles
L.a models in my messages
Give 'em dick and dip
Before they find that i'm too sensitive
For back and forth
I blow it all like scott storch
Red eye from new york
Act like you've been here before
I'm in an airport off a bean like 1974
Destroy my organs everyday
Til i can headline a tour
(?...)
Need bella ramsey to starve
I need a crib with a moat
A docking yacht and a barge
Explore the ocean with luffy
Then chill with spike in the stars
Need your permission to leave
Like i need a hole in my heart
I broke these bones in my arm
She d-riding my car
I need relief
A sense of peace
When even breathing's too hard
A healthy dose of broken knees
(?...)
I put you under my skin so they can't keep us apart

{chorus}
Now i'm smoking spliffs reading goodnight moon
I'm used to watching life through a birds eye view
And i can see my home, i see everyone i know
This raincloud follows me everywhere i go
Now i'm my room singing goodnight moon
Be careful of who you saying goodnight to
And i can see my home, i see everyone i know
This raincloud follows me everywhere i go
