Ben Beal - lower east side

Copied!

{Chorus}
Conversations with the sky
I'm fine
Stop complaining
All we need is time
Why we wanna run
Somethings up
Just suck her but you love it
Never needed much
Just us
It's different
Missing something

{Verse}
She woke up in the lower east
Bed that wasn't hers
She stumbles to her phone
Brought keys and a purse
The neighbours see her leave
Crooked smile with the nod
Heels in her hands cus she tilts when she walks
Avocado toast
Everything for the season
Hates the routine
Tells her friends that she's leaving
Another dudes apartment
Every single evening
Her mom tells her everything happens for a reason
Why's she so broken?
Nothing seems to fix it
The powder seems to numb the offset disposition
Talking to the walls cus nobody ever listens
Chillin with the models
Got her wasted in an instant
A year ago was perfect out when everything was working
Now I'm feeling sort of stable
And my issues aren't urgent
Now I wake up in the morning and just (?...) with a purpose
Handful of pills lets her slip behind the curtain
She can finally sleep

{Chorus}
Conversations with the sky
I'm fine
Stop complaining
All we need is time
Why we wanna run
Somethings up
Just suck her but you love it
Never needed much
Just us
It's different
Missing something
