Oliver Walker - Nowadays lyrics

Nowadays life passes like a fast car
My momma told me ‘son never take it too far’
Going parties even though I
Like my house more
Hiding secrets like your mind is
Just a locked door if looks could kill then
She a stone-cold killer
She got lips like a cushion
With those wack lip fillers
No matter who you talk too
They’ll say the same thing that
Nobody who gone hate on someone
Is ever gone win, we got
Five years till we leaving
Out this atmosphere never take me serious
Exactly why I hate it here
Sipping on a bottle like I got
A place to be tonight
But really I’m just all alone
The only thing I do is write
Lyrics in a book and then
Rap em over hot beats
Mix em till it’s 2 am and
Put them on a spreadsheet
Then open up an app and work on shit for TV
Send it off to studios hoping
That they will pay me

Thoughts on my balcony
Looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll
Ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony
That is when I just pretend
That life is like a movie and
Our stories all have happy end-
-Ings, brunette with pearls
Wanted wedding rings
And finer things, stirring up the pot
I’m meddling new friends cause I’m going new
Places, seeing new faces, shit feels amazing

Nostalgias cool until you’re swept up in it
And all you really wanna do is just relive it
Well this is it, the real world takes a toll
And cause you were too busy you
Ain’t got no one to hold no
I’m not tripping
You just acting up to get friends
Post shit on the gram for attention
Nobody cares at the end of the day
They only start to support as
Soon you get paid, ay
I’ll be quick
Get the money then I’m outta here
She ain’t coming home tonight so
We’re in the clear looking over all the city
Sitting on the balcony
Nowadays I’m all alone
It’s always my demon and me
I know I’m sad all the time
But you make me smile
So can you stay here by my
Side for a little while i know it’s tough
Putting feelings on the shelf
Hard to love someone when I
Do not love my self
I know it’s cool, putting drugs on your story
But doing all that shit ain’t
Never end in glory there’s a war in my head
I’m just tryna run away from it
Girl, you are the only thing that’s
Makings any sense to me

Thoughts on my balcony
Looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll
Ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony
That is where I play the part
Nowadays life passes like a fast car
Thoughts on my balcony
Looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll
Ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony
That is where I play the part
Nowadays life passes like a fast car
