I've got a record player that was made in 2014
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
I've got a record player that was made in 2014
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
I'm in an elevator, it's goin' down, down, down
I spent forever with my feet on the ground
But not now
'Cause I don't wanna do the wrong thing
Guess I gotta go and get famous for doin' nothing
Da da da da da
Crack a smile, crack a smile
Da da da da da
Stay a while, stay a while
Da da da da da
Am I holdin' for applause?
Is it gone? (Gone) is this on?
I've got a record player that was made in 2014
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
I've got a record player that was made in 2014
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
I'm in the simulator, I'm doin' a-okay
But every day is just rewind and replay
Not today (ah)
I'll head out to Monterey
Throw my phone into the waves
Can you see it in my eyes? Am I finally awake?
Da da da da da
Crack a smile, crack a smile
Da da da da da
Stay a while, stay a while
Da da da da da
I think the best is yet to come (come)
So drink up (up) and good luck
I've got a record player that was made in 2014
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
I've got a record player that was made in 2014 (trees)
Dyed my hair blue, it came out a seasick sort of green (trees)
I like vintage dresses when they fall just below my knees (trees)
I pretend I scraped them climbing in the trees
Sometimes I think all I'm ever doin' is (trees)
Tryin' to convince myself I'm alive (trees)
Sometimes I think all I'm ever doin' is (trees)
Tryin' to convince myself I'm climbing in the trees
