pool kids - arm's length - alternative version lyrics
[verse 1]
i’m in a group chat
with 21 god d+mn people
i wish i was exaggerating, but i’m not
my phone crashes 37 times a day
but it’s nice to have friends
sometimes it’s nice to be left on read
(wait, no it’s not)
i think i’m taking things too personally
when did i get so sensitive?
[verse 2]
i don’t think i have the energy to make it out of my bed today
it’s not even a bed
i’ve been sleeping on an air mattress with a hole
for almost three months
and sometimes when i can’t sleep
i can feel the sp+ce i’ve put between
the only people i’d risk anything for
but if they’d whisper at my door
i’d probably hide under the sheets
[verse 3]
i work a job where
i swear to god they’re setting a timer when i take a bathroom break
and i’m barely scr+ping minimum wage and the
things they have the audacity to ask of me
better catch up with them eventually
oh, i’m begging please
let it catch them eventually
[bridge]
it’s my last night in the city that taught me i’m an extrovert
and here i am spending it alone
laying on a carpet floor, staring at a wall
listing off all of the places i would rather be
and it’s my fault
i did this to myself
i crawled into a hold for a six months
then came creeping back out
expecting everything to be the same
and i dug this pit
and you enabled it
so i guess i’ll
i’ll disappear again, 200 miles west this time
i’ll get a job and make some fake friends and i’ll be
[outro]
fine
just like the last time
just like the last time
arm’s length, arm’s length this time
arm’s length
it’s safer that way
