about

It's obvious that this song deals with the romantic miscommunications between human beings but at its core is more of a track about self respect than anything else. Looking at optimistic situations through more objective lenses and keeping cool when things don't work out.

Japan is a place that a lot of people deeply romanticize based off nothing more than a surface level, pop-culture filtered understanding of it and I think a lot of us romanticize certain people in the same way. We place value on things based off assumptions before actually experiencing them and it's easy to get lost in the dream. This is a song about waking up.

lyrics

ME MYSELF AND I - AN OLD KID ON A NEW BLOCK
ME MYSELF AND I - A USED CAR ON A NEW LOT
ME MYSELF AND I - RUSTY PARTS - DRUNK EYES
DUCT TAPE ON MY HEART LIKE IT'S WORKING JUST FINE
LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND A STAR WAY OUT OF MY REACH
BUT FOR A SECOND I COULD SWEAR THAT IT WAS FALLING DOWN TO ME
I TOOK THE BAIT THEN IT BLEW UP MY FACE
LIKE I COULD JUGGLE SOME CROISSANTS AND DEAL WITH MUCH LESS FLAKE
WAIT. YOU THINK BY NOW I WOULD HAVE LEARNED
THAT THING THEY SAY ABOUT PLAYING WITH FIRE AND GETTING BURNED
I'M CHARRED. SKIN JUST FLAKING THE FROM THE BONE
FROM THE PICTURES OF YOUR NEW TOY BLOWING UP MY PHONE

SO GO WALK AWAY AND POWDER UP YOUR NOSE
JUST GO - YEAH I THINK I GOT A NEW PLAN
AY YO - I THINK I'M GUNNA JUST GO HOME
AND YO YOU CAN GO BACK TO JAPAN

JUST ME MYSELF AND I

I HOPE IT’S ALRIGHT FOR ME TO TELL YOU HOW I’M FEELING
3 AM - IN MY HEAD - STEADY STARING AT THE CEILING
CUZ I’M DEALING WITH A LOT - YOU KNOW THAT THIS TRUE
AND EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU KNOW IT I'M STILL WASTING TIME ON YOU
WITH A TARGET ON MY CHEST HOPING FOR THE BEST
I LET YOU GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO UNBUTTON MY BULLETPROOF VEST
AND DAMN - I BLEW IT - I GUESS I SHOULD OF KNEW IT
MY TRUST WAS LIKE A GUN YOU PULLED THE TRIGGER NOW I’M FLUID
DRIPPING DOWN THE DRAIN OF THE SAME ONE BEFORE ME
PICK UP MY BLOODY PIECES KEEP THEM HIDDEN IN A DRAWER
I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR LOVER BUT I WANNA BE MORE
THAN SOME TEXT ON A SCREEN THAT YOU HUMOR WHEN YOUR BORED

SO GO WALK AWAY AND POWDER UP YOUR NOSE
JUST GO - YEAH I THINK I GOT A NEW PLAN
AY YO - I THINK I'M GUNNA JUST GO HOME
AND YO YOU CAN GO BACK TO JAPAN

JUST ME MYSELF AND I

NOW I AIN’T SAYIN I’M THE BEST - I’M JUST ALRIGHT
DUCT TAPE ON MY HEART LIKE IT'S WORKING JUST FINE
AIN’T THE THE TYPE TO PLAY YOUR GAMES - IT AIN’T A FAIR FIGHT

NO, IT AIN'T FAIR - NO, IT AIN'T FAIR

I FELT SOME WAY FOR MINUTE UNTIL MY BRAIN SNAPPED
BECAUSE I READ THE FINE PRINT AND SAID “FXXX THAT”
SO QUIT THROWING ME THAT BONE CUZ I GOT A NEW PLAN
I THINK I’M GUNNA GO BACK HOME AND YOU CAN GO BACK TO JAPAN

JUST ME MYSELF AND I
