The Neighbourhood - The Neighbourhood Lyrics
Flowers
Every day you want me to make
Something I hate all for your sake
I'm such a fake, I'm just a doll
I'm a rip-off and it turns you on
Put on your clothes
Then I polish my toes
Then I powder my nose
In case you get close (get too close, baby)
Now that you're done
Then I put on a show
Then I gave you the floor
And you just froze
Every day you want me to make
Something I hate all for your sake
I'm such a fake, I'm just a doll
I'm a rip-off and it turns you on
And it turns you on
And it turns you on
And it turns you on
Someone has to do it (do it)
So I guess I will (me)
You want more than flowers and I
I can be your fling
I can be your fling
I can be your fling (can I be yours?)
I can be your boy
And it turns you on
And it turns you on
And it turns you on
And it turns you on

Scary Love
Move to the city with me
I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna be alone
You're too pretty for me
Baby, I know, it's true, yeah
Even better when you first wake up
Than anybody else I've f*cked
Baby, I got good luck with you
I didn't know we'd get so far
And it's only the start
Baby, you got me worried (hey)
Your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here, oh
Your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here
Drivin' through the city with me
Just watching you glow
I'm in the passenger seat, you're in control
It's on you now
Even better every day, I swear
Maybe it's a little unfair
Baby, I'm starstruck by you
Didn't know we'd get so far
And it's only the start
Baby, you got me worried (hey)
Your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here
Whoa, your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here
If we fall apart
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
If we fall apart
It was our favorite dream
Ooh, ooh, hey
Your love is therapy
No drug can give me clarity
As much as you do, ooh (as you do, baby)
Yeah, I need you here (I need you here)
Your love is scaring me (no one)
No one has ever cared for me (ooh, baby)
As much as you do
Ooh, (hey, yeah) yeah, I need you here (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, I need you, babe) ooh, ooh, ahh
Yeah (yeah, yeah, I need you, baby)
(Ooh, I need you)

Nervous
Maybe I shouldn't try to be perfect
I confess, I'm obsessed with the surface
In the end, if I fall or if I get it all
I just hope that it's worth it
Last year I fell flat on my face
And last month I knew somethin' should change
Last week I started over again
Ask me and I'll tell you how I've been
Mhm, don't get me started
You've got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to
Should I be quiet?
Uh, come on, be silent
Uh, you know I'm tryin'
So don't say nothin'
Uh, tell me you trust me and
Kiss me and hug me, yeah
Well, I would do anything for ya
You just gotta love me and
I got an itch in my throat
I don't know which way to go
I keep on switchin', I know
I need a different approach
It's all because I wanna
Show you that I'm so capable
You've got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt
Come on, baby, don't you hurt me anymore
I'm not the same way that I was before
I got goosebumps all over me
When you're around, hard for me to breathe
Come on, baby, don't you do that anymore
It's not like the days have never felt so short
My nerves, they give me a sign
Tell me I'm not fine, mhm
You've got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt
Hush, baby
Hush, baby
Hush, baby
Hush, baby

Void
I wonder how I got by this week
I only touched you once
Lately I can't find the beat
I used to feel the rush
Started with a little bit
Now I don't know how to quit
Always feel inadequate
Same way that my daddy did
Mama told me not to try
And I should have taken her advice
And now I'm all twisted
When it's all gone, I miss it
I'll try just to do somethin'
I'll try 'cause I got nothin'
Else that gets me through the day
'Til I find another way
I'll try just to do somethin'
I'll try 'cause I got nothin'
Even if I lose again
I won't quit
I wonder how I got by this week
I only touched you once, uh
Lately I can't find a beat
I used to feel the rush
And now I need you to feel the vibe
I need you to see the point
I need you to feel alive
I need you to fill the void
My insecurities are
My own worst enemy, yeah
Something's not lettin' me
Move the way I used to
Thought you could better me but
Then you stopped lettin' me walk
Now you're just settin' me off
So I'm tryna lose you
I'll fight just to do somethin'
I'll fight 'cause I got nothin'
Else that gets me through the day
'Til I find another way
I'll fight just to do somethin'
I'll fight 'cause I got nothin'
Even if I lose again
I can't quit, mmm
I wonder how I got by this week
I only touched you once
Lately I can't find a beat
I used to feel the rush
And now I need you to feel the vibe
I need you to see the point
I need you to feel alive
I need you to fill the void
I need you to fill the void
I need you to fill the void
You paralyze me every time
I try to find some paradise
I've got to fill the void
And now I'm paranoid
You paralyze me every time
I try to find some paradise
I've got to fill the void
And now I'm paranoid

Softcore
You've been my muse for a long time
You get me through every dark night
I'm always gone, out on the go
I'm on the run and you're home alone
I'm too consumed with my own life
Are we too young for this?
Feels like I can't move
Sharing my heart
It's tearing me apart
But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now
Doing what I can, tryna be a man
And every time I kiss you, baby
I can hear the sound of breaking down
I've been confused as of late (yeah)
Watching my youth slip away (yeah)
You're like the sun, you wake me up
But you drain me out if I get too much
I might need you or I'll break
Are we too young for this?
Feels like I can't move
Sharing my heart
It's tearing me apart
But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now
Doing what I can, tryna be a man
And every time I kiss you, baby
I can hear the sound of breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down, breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down, breaking down
I don't want to play this part
But I do, all for you
I don't want to make this hard
But I will 'cause I'm still
Sharing my heart
It's tearing me apart
But I know I'd miss you, baby, if I left right now (Yeah, I know I would, I know I would)
Doing what I can, tryna be a man (be your man)
And every time I kiss you, baby
I can hear the sound of breaking down
Sharing my bed, uh
Sharing my bread, yeah
Sharing my bed
Sharing my head
(I'm breaking down)
Sharing my heart
Sharing my, sharing and I'm breaking down
Sharing, I'm done
Sharing my life

Blue
Read my mind, got me at a stop light
Start me up, then you make a stop like
Why you gotta put me in the spotlight?
But you don't even ever hit the spot right
You're always riding my wave (riding, riding, riding, riding)
But never riding through
You get me up to let me down
Way too many times to count
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
Make it tough but get it loud
You're done but I'm ready now
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
Every time you come you do
Every time you come you do
Call me up to comfort you and now I'm like
"Baby, it's already been a long night"
Keep playing it cool but it's time to change the mood
Get to moving or you can move along
Stuck inside of your cage (I'm stuck right now)
I play your game to lose over and over
You get me up to let me down
Way too many times to count
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
Make it tough but get it loud
You're done but I'm ready now
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
I really thought you knew
Every time you come you leave me blue
Something inside me is swimming
Thought you did something you didn't
Soon as I hit the beginning
Is when you reached the end
Something inside me is swimming
Thought you did something you didn't
Soon as I hit the beginning
Is when you reached the end
You get me up to let me down
Way too many times to count
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
Make it tough but get it loud
You're done but I'm ready now
Why you gotta do that? (Why?)
You're the one who blew that
I really thought you knew
Every time you come you leave me blue
I really thought you knew
Every time you come you leave me blue

Sadderdaze
Dirty fingernails, same as your mind
But he could strum the guitar just fine
Every now and then he'd think about his life
Daydreamin' just to pass the the time
Now the sun is closer than it was before
Anyone who's anyone can feel it
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
They keep on using me
Even as a child everyone would say
He was gonna be a star someday
Finally he found a way to reach the sky
But he didn't know what he'd find
Now the sun is closer than it was before
Anyone who's anyone can feel it, mmm
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
They keep on using me
He's got a big head full of trash
And he talks down every chance he gets
He's a grown man with committable mistakes
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
Saturdays are not the same as they used to be
Sadder days, why do they keep on using me?
They keep on using me
They keep on using me
They keep on using me
They keep on using me
They keep on using me

Revenge
I let you hit me off, mhm
I won't do that again
And I know it's wrong, mhm
But now I want some revenge
Coming for your heart
Every beat, when you sleep
In your dreams, when you eat, in your feelings
I'll make it hard, I'll make you starve
Just give me one good reason, baby
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
What a tool with your cool leather jacket
I got news for you, everybody has it
You're a fool, another quick habit
Eat your food, enjoy it while you have it
And while you chew it I want you to imagine
How I felt when I saw you grab him
You must've used magic to take it away
I let you hit me off, mhm
I won't do that again
And I know it's wrong, mhm
But now I want some revenge
Coming for your heart
Every beat, when you sleep
In your dreams, when you eat
In your feelings
I'll make it hard, I'll make you starve
Just give me one good reason, baby
First time that I ever met ya
I knew that you had paid attention
Follow me around in the right direction
Still do so focus on this message
While you listen, just think to yourself
How it feels when you need some help
'Cause now it's my turn to take it away
(Take it away, take it away, take it away)
I let you hit me off, mhm
I won't do that again
And I know it's wrong, mhm
But now I want some revenge
Coming for your heart
Every beat, when you sleep
In your dreams, when you eat in your feelings
I'll make it hard, I'll make you starve
Just give me one good reason baby
But I hide the truth, I do
The same reject as you
I do, yeah, yeah

You Get Me So High
Hope you don't regret it
I pushed a lot back but I can't forget it
We never got the credit
Nobody seemed to hear us but we said it
Neither of us planned it
And for a long time I took it all for granted
I really thought we had it
But at the time it was more than I could manage, so
If we can leave it all behind us
And meet in-between
It would get me so
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
Wish I didn't doubt it
I wish I never ever told you all about it
But I just had to let you know
I never meant to hurt you, though
I had all my motives
I didn't know they wouldn't mix with your emotions
I just had to reach my goals
Never knew I needed you though, so
If we can agree to disagree and
Keep on reaching
It would get you so
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
Used to stick together
You're my best friend, I'll love you forever (come with me)
We could be the greatest
Doesn't matter if we're never rich or famous (come with me)
High all the time, high all the time
I wanna be high all the time
Would you come with me?
If you can just let me know if it's okay
To call you when I'm lonely

Reflections
Where have you been?
Do you know when you're coming back?
'Cause since you've been gone
I've got along but I've been sad
I tried to put it out for you to get
Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give
Where have you been?
Do you know if you're coming back?
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes
I know you're sick
Hoping you fix whatever's broken
Ignorant bliss
And a few sips might be the potion
I tried to put it out for you to get
Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give
Where have you been?
Do you know if you're coming back?
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (tell me you see it too)
So close, so close
Yet so far away (so far)
I don't know (I don't)
How to be solo (no)
So don't go, oh, no, just stay
You and I were bright, shooting through the sky daily (yeah)
Lighting up the night, wasn't always right, baby (mm-hmm)
Yeah, every time that we realized it's crazy
And you save me
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (I sold my soul for you, I know you see it too)
Yeah, I brought same ones too
I know you're tired, I know you're tired
Just say it, I agree with you
Sick of all the poison in me
What did I do wrong for me, babe?
Uh, I see myself in you, I see myself in you, baby
I see myself in you, alright
I see myself in you, maybe you should too

Too Serious
If I could change your mind
Then I would for sure, no doubt
If I could take back time
Then I would reverse it now
I never asked to be here
But it ended up that way
When I look in the mirror
I can see you stare at me, mhm
Now I feel like I'm broken
Now I feel like I'm choking
How I wish I was joking with you
If I could laugh through it all
I know that it'd be good for me
It's such a task to ignore
All the things that they try to feed me
Every day, no escape
So much faith, where's the shame?
Will this chain ever break?
'Cause
Now I feel like I'm broken
Now I feel like I'm choking
How I wish I was joking with you
I'm way too serious
But I've always been that way
Too serious
I never found time to play
And now
It's bringing me down
It's bringing you down too
Way too serious
I'm way too serious
You know, you know, you know
Now I feel like I'm broken (I feel like I am broken now)
Now I feel like I'm choking I feel like I am choking now)
How I wish I was joking with you (I feel like I am)
I feel like I am broken now
Now I feel like I'm broken
I feel like I'm choking now
Now I feel like I'm choking
I feel like I am broken now
How I wish I was joking with you

Stuck with Me
Now I'm feeling guilty for it
Didn't wanna leave
I got caught up in the forest
Hangin' with the trees
Realised I'm less important
Than I thought I'd be
I'm not tellin' you for any certain reason but
Now I'm feelin' guilty for it
I didn't wanna leave, no
I got caught up in the forest
Hangin' with the trees, yeah, yeah
Realized I'm less important (oh, yeah)
Than I thought I'd be, yeah
I'm not tellin' you for any certain reasons but
I just want your empathy
Our lives keep on gettin' shorter
Losin' opportunity
There might be some other ways of looking at it but
That's just what I see
I been gettin' over myself
Thinkin' about what you need
Then I realised that neither of us matter
What's reality, yeah?
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with you
(You)
Couldn't be more different than me
So each time we agree
I feel fulfilled
You always end up stickin' to me
Somehow, somehow
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
So I guess I'll be sticking with
You are stuck with me
