Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White dreads get my blood pumping
These tummy tablets got me breaking in two
Big drops make me feel like jumping
Into the laps of the privileged few
[Verse 2]
All this suffering is all a part of being
Making sense at all seems so Sisyphean
And I pray that my dying is freeing
All this linen makes me feel so European
[Chorus]
Become a habit, a predilection
Inventing endless tides of fiction
No
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
Feel so, so low
I should've learnt by now, keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
[Verse 3]
Haunted by a child brittle as paper
And now my future is just a vapour
Writ in such cruel detail
I guess I shouldn't let my train derail
[Chorus]
Become a habit, a predilection
No
I feel so low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
So, so low
I should've learnt by now, keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
So, so low
[Bridge]
Should've learnt by now, keep my expectations low
So, so low
[Outro]
I should've learnt by now, keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now, should've learnt by now, keep my expectations low
I should've learnt by now to keep my expectations low
My expectations low
