Man, if I′m gonna be honest, I dropped out of college

Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge

Down the forestForaging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange

Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters

Not about chasing clout

I′d rather gaze at clouds, and feel the comforts

Uh-oh, on the trending tab, hope this won't be ending bad

Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab

Oh Lord, life's getting hard, I′m too young for a credit card

And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents′ car

Teardrops, we've made friends between screens

And deep seas, steal hearts while teens scream our ears off

You mightn′t believe it, a life full of streaming is real tough

It feels rough sometimes, but that's the real stuff

Day by day, putting on a brave face (hey)

Playing games, taking pain straight away (yay)

Maybe made mistakes, but it′s a-ok (wait)

We all need to take a break

If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe

And I′m living, and loving my life by the sea

If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of the breeze

And I'm living and loving my life by the sea

I′m just tryna keep my life afloat, but never quite coping

I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I′m joking

Know most people aren't evil though

Some really just wanna watch you burn

So you′re on edge and sweating, dreading

Making wrong turns

Treading on eggshells, laying on a bed of nails

Don't you take a wrong step, or else you′ll get impaled (get impaled)

I'm just a happy guy paddling through the angry tide

Online emotions amplify, I try to let it pass me by

Can′t keep everybody pacified, satisfied appetites

My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite

So many transmissions, every day I'm twitching

Wishing that things were an itty-bit different

I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day

But it′s a British tradition

Day by day, putting on a brave face (hey)

Playing games, taking pain straight away (woo)

Maybe made mistakes, but it′s a-ok (wait)

We all need to take a break (hey)

If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe

And I′m living and loving my life by the sea

If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze

And I′m living and loving my life by the sea

Day by day, putting on a brave face

Playing games, taking pain straight away

Maybe made mistakes, but it's a-ok

We all need to take a break

So I′ll be chilling when the tide is low (whoa-oh-oh)

'Cause I wanna take it slow (whoa-oh-oh)

And I can't sing the next note

But I brought a bro (oh)

If I′m gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe

And I′m living and loving my life by the sea

If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of the breeze

And I′m living and loving my life by the sea

Life by the sea

Life by the sea

Life by the sea
