Lyrics
Joe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I believed in God back in 8th grade
He could smoke an eighth on a school day
Remember when you laughed at my last name?
Now I go by Met, is that less lame
Of a last name?
I believed in God back in '09
Always down to hang he had no time, yeah
But in a couple of years, I'll be so out of here
I'll have a lot of new friends and I won't even care
I don't ever think of you
I got too much stuff to do
Should've left you back in school
Joseph, do you think I'm
I don't ever think of you
Look at all this stuff I do
I played shows in Belarus
Now Joe, do you think I'm cool?
Do you think I'm cool?
I could make a joke but it feels strange
Every time she laughed it would feel fake
But you could make her laugh in a real way
Yeah, I still use your jokes and they go great
It took a little while but I found love
I thought you'd reply you just thumbed up
I play a lot of shows but you don't come
I don't even mind this is so dumb, so dumb
I don't ever think of you
I got too much stuff to do
Should've left you back in school
Joseph, do you think I'm
I don't ever think of you
Look at all this stuff I do
Probably not as much as you
Still, Joe, do you think I'm cool?
Do you think I'm cool?
I don't ever think of you
I don't ever think of you
I don't ever think of you
I don't ever think of you
I don't ever think of you
I got friends all up the coast
Proud of all the songs I wrote
But I can't take this backpack off
It comes with me where I go
Maybe I'll put out this song
And I won't change your name at all
Maybe then you'll call me up
And you'll tell me how cool I got
