Triflin'
Little did I know
when I grow up
I'd just be really confused
sippin' coffee
walking around
like I don't feel real used
all the while
texting back
a boy who's just a friend
but the kind of friend
I run to
and jump in his bed
Is this modern love
and modern life?
I can't be sure
it feels triflin'
I'm drinkin' too much
sinnin' too hard
I need a night in
I feel triflin'
I need a night in
before I tailspin
i wake up
hit the alarm
grab the champagne
I was gonna shoot
but now it looks
like it will rain
so I reach for the phone
and you're home
so I come over
I love the way
the records sound
with the rain
when I'm not sober
Is this modern love
and modern life?
I can't be sure
it feels triflin'
I'm drinkin' too much
sinnin' too hard
I need a night in
I feel triflin'
I need a night in
before I tailspin
I'm a girl
inside a woman
if you don't know
what I mean
well good for you
but most girls do
Age is nothing
time is fleeting
I've no ground
under my feet
but I'll still speak
like I have
a fucking clue
Little did I know
when I grow up
I'd just be really confused
Is this modern love
and modern life?
I can't be sure
it feels triflin'
I'm drinkin' too much
sinnin' too hard
I need a night in
I feel triflin'
I need a night in

coming in like a kamikaze.
it's a headbanger, but you're right,
gotta skip a dance every now&then...

I would really like to know what medium these words are on top of. The message is powerful and though I am a 'boy in a man's body' (or at least feel that way) I can totally relate to the message. The shallow emptiness of what life or even ourselves have to offer at times and its reflection in our love lives and our hedonistic tendencies. Been there done that. I'd love to jam to this I can almost here it. Either a slow sad guitar riff, or a heavy distorted metal sound is what I'm getting. Could be funny to have an upbeat melody behind it though, might highlight the theme in a wink and nod kind of way, anyway if you have it send it my way! Good stuff.
