lyrics

I don’t want to go outside
Rather stay in here and hide
The darkness feeds my soul
I love the solitude, love the cold
Get out the vices; here we come
Reclaim the throne of fun
If only just for a few
though I’d rather have the afternoon
I want the sun to stay away
I like the rain and clouds this way
It gives me a good excuse
And the lighting gets me in the mood to play

And I’m wantin’ to play

It doesn’t matter what you’ve got goin’ on,
You just keep on playin’ your favorite song

I’m not doin’ it for them
I’mma’ do it for myself
and if they like what they feel
it’s a bonus not a requisite
Never perfect all this time
Never polished to that shine
but look at all that I’ve done
just imagine what has yet to come
So predictable, so same
I don’t want to play that game
but even if it’s all true
it’s okay with me, I’m in the mood to play

And I’m wantin’ to play

If you come back for me,
I promise I won’t let you down
i’ll never leave you high and dry
and when you’re feelin’ blue,
I promise you, ya’ won’t regret it
just sing yourself this little song:

It doesn’t matter what you’ve got goin’ on,
You just keep on playin’ your favorite song (x3)
