Better This Way

(~No, no, no-no)
  
You text out of nowhere,  
‘Babe how’re you doin’ now?’  
   
Was ‘bout to go somewhere,  
But it’s like you’re watchin’ me.  
   
Cartoon clouds float above,  
Don’t want no Adventure Time.  
   
(Oh woah~)  
   
Oh, I really missed ya.  
   
Simulation loops again,  
Never-ending dizziness.  
   
Swing me up so high but,  
When my face hits the ground,  
So deaf, can’t hear a sound,  
My heart crushed from a beat.  
   
We had our times babe.  
   
We’ve been through this before  
(Don’t you ever get sick of it all?)  
Why do you want me for?  
(Mystery isn’t, a game we should play)  
   
Whatever now,  
I’ll be alone.  
   
(I’m feelin’ away.)  
   
I just wanna erase all those clouds away  
A vacation washing waves,  
No TV show today,  
Better this way.  
   
I just wanna bathe under the shining sun  
A child with no headphones  
Hey,  
We’ll be better this way.  
   
So, you know it’s my only way  
Ain’t easy I gotta say,  
Clear skies, gonna go airplane.  
   
We’ll be okay,  
Better this way.  
   
Finally I can breathe,  
Need no filter, need no mask.  
   
And you won’t be here—  
Sketchin’ out my thoughts,  
And textin’ where I’m at~  
3 dots be, on my mind.  
   
Boy, just take a breather, be free.  
   
We’ve been through this before  
(Too busy, both of us losing ourselves)  
Why do you want me for?  
(If it wasn’t for love, then why did we stay?)  
   
Whatever now,  
I’ll be alone.  
   
I just wanna erase all those clouds away  
A vacation washing waves,  
No TV show today,  
Better this way.  
   
I just wanna bathe under the shining sun  
A child with no headphones  
Hey,  
We’ll be better this way.  
   
So, you know it’s my only way  
Ain’t easy I gotta say,  
Clear skies, gonna go airplane.  
   
We’ll be okay,  
Better this way.  
   
Oh world, give me your freedom  
Can’t catch me, I’m so far gone.  
   
10 year-old, oh, set me free, yeah  
Give me everythin’ that you got.  
   
No harm, just done, with you.  
   
I just wanna erase all those clouds away  
A vacation washing waves,  
No TV show today,  
Better this way.  
   
I just wanna bathe under the shining sun  
A child with no headphones  
Hey,  
We’ll be better this way.  
   
So, you know it’s my only way  
Ain’t easy I gotta say,  
Clear skies, gonna go airplane.  
   
We’ll be okay,  
Better this way.

This is an actual song by Jiselle and it’s super smooth and slick. I totally recommend listening to the audio:
