Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Sold my bed)
(Sold my, sold my)
(Sold my bed)
(Sold my)
[Verse 2]
Black is my favorite color
Makes me feel like we know each other
Blank tapes and posters on the door
Listen to my Pink Floyd cover
Take a seat like a backseat lover
Mixed tapes and cushions on the floor
[Verse 3]
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
[Verse 4]
(Sold my bed)
(Sold my, sold my)
[Verse 5]
Paper bags and escalators
Pushing up those broken faders
Only way to find out who you are
In a town of ones and zeros
You are one magnetic hero
Little things will always get you far
[Verse 6]
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
(I sold my, I sold my)
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
[Verse 7]
Black is my favorite color
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Makes me feel like we know each other
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
In a town of ones and zeros
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
You are one magnetic hero
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 8]
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
(I sold my bed)
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
(I sold my bed)
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
