London Downs - Give 'Em What They Want (feat. Jake Wild) Lyrics

Long drives, late nights
I think I'm going nowhere, but it feels right
I do what I can just to feel alive

Bus rides, state lines
Sleeping for two hours off a bad high
Milwaukee to Cincy just killing time

And I know I'm what they're here to see now
A thousand faces, this should be a dream
I fill this blank space with cameras and breakdowns
But projections aren't what they seem

So wasted, complacent
Don't think that I could fake this
Never fall in love, never break a heart, don't f*ck it up
Don't push until they shove, just lock it up
And give 'em what they want
Just give 'em what they want

Waking up as another man
Reflecting on all the things I think I am
My euphoria is leaving me condemned

And I don't even like what I'm seeing now
My reflection's too clouded to see
I fill this blank space with cameras and breakdowns
But projections aren't what they seem

So wasted, complacent
Don't think that I could fake this
Never fall in love, never break a heart, don't f*ck it up
Don't push until they shove, just lock it up
And give them what they want
Just give 'em what they want

I always knew that I would end up right where I am
But I was dead weight so I turn over the diazepam
Peripheral vision, I hope that you can understand
That if I give a side eye, I'm just keeping my sleight of hand
The limelight tastes so sour and hurts my eyesight
The room has elephants, we truncate their freedom and right to life
Lay me down to sleep, I wanna dream in pastel scenes
I miss the mezzanine, but I chose the path, so you can leave me

So wasted, complacent
Don't think that I could fake this
Never fall in love, never break a heart, don't f*ck it up
Don't push until they shove, just lock it up
And give them what they want
Just give 'em what they want
Just give 'em what they want
Give 'em what they want
Give 'em what they want
Give 'em what they want
Give 'em what they want
