lyrics
Chorus
I’ve been down before
I’ve been down before
I’ve been down before
My best friend, the floor
Verse 1
Met you in a parking lot out in Santa Cruz
Said your life’s pretty dark and you gotta choose
Cause your home’s not a home not in any way
So on the phone you were like “Umm, anyway…
hey, think it’s time that I end it all”
So I stall trying to not let you end the call
Cause as long as you’re here and you don’t go
I won’t have to face that I fear what I don’t know
Driving doing donuts all around my head
Watch me flip my miyada baby now I’m dead
I’m a punk, such a punk, but I don’t pretend to know you
I don’t pretend to know you
So why should I say that you’ve got to stay
When every time I fell in love I walked away
Fair play. But this is not like that, no it’s not like that
We fit nice. Hand to glove
So will you take some advice from a mna in love
Cause the one, one thing that I know for sure
Is we’re gonna get out, yeah we’re gonna get out
Verse 2
So I would lie on my back
And I would stare at the crack
On my ceiling I would snap right in half
Just like the roof of our shack
It happened in the quake of 1989
And every time that I was not feeling fine
I’d ditch that crack and I would fall down the coast
down to Santa Cruz, fall down to Santa Cruz
And I’m so lucky that I got friends I’m so glad for that
And all my nonsense, they won’t stand for that
So all my rejects, hit the eject button, take a heat check, cousin
We could not be nothing if we wanted to
Wannabes, I wanna honor you
Shout out to all the cool kids out at Bonnaroo
goner you, goner me, watch for the gonorrhee:
clap clap clap clap clap, honestly
Have your fun before the day is done
In the warm California sun—Boardwalk!
Have your fun before the day is done
In the warm California sun
Bridge
Warm California sun
Warm California sun
Warm California sun
Warm California sun
I’ve been down before
I’ve been down before
I’ve been down before
I’ve been down before
My best friend, the floor

Despite the fact that a couple songs feel pretty unfinished, most of this album consists of great songs that easily meet the quality that I would expect from someone like Watsky. Absolutely amazing.

I first heard Watsky when I was 10, my dad went and saw him when Anderson .Paak opened up for him, and we had been hooked ever since he saw the true art that Watsky's music was, and the true Artist Geaorge is. I'm 19 now, thank you George. Your music has helped me through so, so many times. This record is an absolute blessing as I'm going through alot in the moment, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. Continue to do what you do best George, yourself. We absolutely love it. :)
