White Noise 03:46
Pull me up and hit space and I'll play quietly in the background so unobtrusive to whatever it is you're not doing while I'm around (doing while I'm around) Switched off and tuned out and I can't dial you in so I thumb-wrestle with myself right beside you maybe that way I can get a win You don't wanna be by yourself and I don't think I can be myself if it's making you overwhelmed so now I just feel like White noise that you put on to help you sleep while you're awake I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights that you can set to whatever mood you like am I just a universal adapter plug and play straight out of the packet when you're near the sound of my voice (sound of my voice) all you hear is a bright white noise Sit me down, shift me around 'till I'm on the right frequencies (sit me down every time) and I don't get it, do you even want a human there? I think you need an NPC, baby 'cause you don't wanna be by yourself (by yourself) but I don't think I can be myself (be myself) If it's making you overwhelmed now I just feel like White noise that you put on to help you sleep while you're awake I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights that you can set to whatever mood you like am I just a universal adapter plug and play straight out of the packet when you're near the sound of my voice (sound of my voice) all you hear is a bright white noise White noise that you put on to help you sleep while you're awake I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights that you can set to whatever mood you like Am I just a universal adapter plug and play straight out of the packet when you're near the sound of my voice all you hear is a bright white noise a white noise that you can put on to help you sleep while you're awake I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights to put colour in the room in the dead of night I wanna help make it all go away but it's not like you'd listen to a word I say When you're near the sound of my voice (my voice) when you're near the sound of my voice all you hear is a bright white noise

Roomie 03:35
(you live in my head for free) (not much space but now you've got the keys to the) (front door of all of me) (I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie) Don't look at me like that again (don't look at me like that again) 'cause I might fall so hard that I break every bone in my body I felt like I could use a friend (felt like I could use a friend) but I got much more, now you're with me 24/7 going up, but now we're stuck in the lift together You've gotta see what you do to me and I'd venture to say that you like it and you break me down to my component pieces try to put me back together but now it's a tight fit 'cause you live in my head for free there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the front door of all of me I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie You live in my head for free there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the front door of all of me I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie I feel like I've been split down the middle (split down the middle) but the upkeep costs stay the same and the bills I pay they haven't changed and I feel like this is a bit of a one-sided arrangement and I think we might default on our payments 'cause you live in my head for free there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the front door of all of me I was alone but now I guess I got a roomie you live in my head for free there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the front door of all of me I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie (you) 'cause you didn't pay a god damn thing you just barged right in and now you've got the keys to the (keys to the) You live in my head for free there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the front door of all of me I was living alone but now I guess I got company You live in my head for free I gotta get the locks changed cause now you know the way to the front door of all of me 'cause I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie
