Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?
'Cause I'm so happy without your noise
[Verse 1]
Baby, now my head is on backwards
And my feet at funny angles
And every time I take a step, we're moving forwards faster
And lately, I can't take it
Baby, now my body's in tact, and
In an ordinary fashion
And everything I tried to leave behind is still beside us
And lately, I can't take it
[PreChorus]
Leftover breakfast, cereal for lunch
She's broken but she's fun
My girl eats mayonnaise
From a jar while she's gettin' blazed
[Chorus]
Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?
'Cause I'm so happy without your noise
[Verse 2]
Lazy, and lyin' on your belly
With a super pump cola
Lookin' at your phone, in clothes you've worn for three days over
With a cookie as a coaster
Maybe, I wish I could remould ya
To vertical and golden
But you turn to styrofoam and so it hurts to say it's hopeless
And we ain't gonna make it
[PreChorus]
Leftover breakfast, cereal for lunch
She's broken but she's fun
My girl eats mayonnaise
From a jar while she's gettin' blazed
She's drunk on old cartoons
Liquid TV afternoons
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Sometimes it makes me sad
[Chorus]
Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?
'Cause I'm so happy without your noise
Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?
'Cause I'm so happy without your noise
[Refrain]
Baby, now my head is on backwards
Baby, now my head is on backwards
Baby, now my head is on backwards (I'm so happy)
Baby, now my head is on backwards (I'm so happy)
[Chorus]
Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?
'Cause I'm so happy without your noise
