lyrics

Henry David, motivation expert
Wakes up early, spends his morning planning how to spend his mornings now
Without the city and the crowd
Takes his laundry to his mom's apartment
Dreams of living simply and sucking all the marrow out of life
Oh boy, oh baby, show me how

I used to open up my mind to let the information drive me crazy
Something on the internet would get me out of bed
But now I'm leaving you behind
I'm dropping out, I'm tuning in
Amazing transcendental meditations help me get ahead
Come join the party like it's 2021

We'll be burning through nostalgia like it's never running out
Oh boy, oh baby, bail me out

I wanna see you in the flesh
I wanna feel your body brush against me
Hear your conversations in the middle of the show
I wanna kiss you in the venue
Taste the whiskey on your breath
Before we're positively miserable and stuck inside again
I wanna party like it's 2021
