Lyrics

How Did You Get Here?

Yeah
You're probably wondering I got here, aren't you?

(How did you get here?) Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing, yeah
(How did you get here?) Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I

Yeah that's me
I'm nostalgia porn
I'm the names of things you remember reeled off and ranked to make you smile
I'm looking backwards through glasses tinted with rose
Like the flowers I got you after I made you cry
I really am still quite sorry about that

I'm the same three bands everyone in your city likes
I'm proper music
I'm not ignorant, I'm informed, I'm the same as you
I just came here to party, scream if you wanna slow the fuck down
I'm the frown you turned upside down and that truly is the strangest thing

(How did you get here?) Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing, yeah
Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
I'm on the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing

Yeah come on

Yeah that's me, I'm that girl you like
All sorts her eyes and fairy lights
I'll wipe the floor with you if you stay here until sunrise
I'm a period piece set in the year you were born
I'm bored and I'm restless
I wanna kiss you but I'm afraid of the consequences

I'm mansplaining the word gaslight to you
And explaining both were once crowned word of the year
You're probably wondering how I got here, well
You should see my sizzle reel
Maybe it's about time I try to relax
And stop worrying if people remembered me at the parties I met them at

(How did you get here?) Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
(How did you get here?) Same way you did
Go to work then I do something stupid
I'm on the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing

I'm on the up then I'm down then I'm losing
On the up then I'm down then I'm losing
