‘Everybody Just Wants To Use You’ is about the constant talk of the future, which is terrifying. I wrote this during one of the many existential crisis' I had throughout year 12 lol. It explores my obsession with youth, and the idea of wanting to be forever young. This world is a dog eat dog place and I’m not sure if I am ready.
lyrics
the days all begin to blur together
somebody throw me a pity party
i am content with being alone forever
it’s okay if nobody wants me
i sit on my bedroom floor
i don't even know what i’m waiting for
i am forced to make a choice
when i cant even raise my voice
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be safe
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be okay
everybody just wants to use you in the real world
i don't think i am ready
for the real world
this kind of place only creates mundane overachievers
i only cried twice in public this week
and i think that’s an achievement
i missed my train and i got home late
i don't want to think about my future
got caught in the rain i have a headache
i don't want to think about my future
i i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be safe
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be okay
everybody just wants to use you in the real world
i don't think i am ready
for the real world
we all know mums are so fake when people come over
building up trophy children to show off to each other
i don’t want to be someone i hated when i was younger
the world is pretty grey and we all want to live in colour
there has to be something more
than this feeble existence
i know i am nothing on the scale of this universe
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be safe
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be okay
everybody just wants to use you in the real world
i don't think i am ready
for the real world
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be safe
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to be okay
i want to be young
i want to be forever
i want to make a change
