Having The Worst Conversation Of My Life In Burbank, CA. lyrics by Ben Zaidi, Flowers of Bad

Intro
I don’t wanna live like them, not even a little bit

Verse
Fed two dimes to the parking meter
Tryna buy some time, coming by to see her
And then I get the text that she’s up the street
So I walk a block and a half, rain sloshing my feet
There’s just nothing like when you get talking
Two minutes into the car and you’re already twisting my arm and
You said your pride’s too much to risk for my love
I think this conversation’s gotten too rich for my blood and
I don’t wanna have to get frisked for my love
Don’t wanna do flips off a bridge just to get hit by your scuds
Like you don’t know it, I don’t know what to say
If I was a different person, you probably wouldn’t give me the time of day
Fucking need to go put more in the parking meter
‘Cause you’re going off on me
Long as the drive here to Alameda, let’s pause
I ain’t checking deposits
I’m only coming back for everything I’m owed, if we’re honest
Live and direct from a broken dreamer
All my dashed hopes could probably fill an arena
Still don’t put much trust in my sense of self
Almost threw the best thing in my life away as some kind of cry for help
Child of Seattle, I’m uneasy in sunshine
I said „it feels good, then it ain’t” that was some line
You said „that’s life, you get what you bring”
I’m just having trouble with this whole getting over myself thing

Chorus
I don’t wanna live like them, not even a little bit
I ain’t seen the sun go up since I was a little kid
Caught up with the halfway crooks
Tryna make a hundred thousand people all look, but
Tryna get the world to care about you, there’s easier ways to get rich

I don’t wanna live like them, not even a little bit
I ain’t seen the sun go up since how I was a little kid
Caught up with the halfway crooks
Tryna make a hundred thousand people all look, but
Tryna get the world to care about you, there’s easier ways to get rich

I don’t wanna live like them, not even a little bit
