Sleep Talk Metropolis

Metro, suburbs, commuters

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

Crosswalk, clock in, Excel sheets

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

Meetings, lunch break, overtime

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

Instant ramen

Rinse and repeat

Rinse and repeat

In my muscles

I make my own bangle

Low waste and responsible

I'm learning to be minimal

I wish to be hired

To pay off my student loans

Enjoyed being alone

Don't want to be alone

I wanted my own home

I needed a new phone

I wanted to travel

The times are different

Did you know, did you know?

We're living in a dream, living in a dream

Spilling our time on repeat, on repeat

Filling in the empty space

Beyond the yellow lines

We're living for the dream, living for the dream

Tiny mice looked right at me, right at me

Is it a sign that it's time to slow down?

I am in a race of one

Sunday morning, vacuum time

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

Grocery shopping, laundromat

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

Pay bills, Emails, second job

Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha

One-pan spaghetti

Rinse and repeat

Rinse and repeat

Met you in the middle

'Cause I got a flexible

Open-minded ego

Working to be sustainable

Wish you could be fired

So you could stop asking

"Why are you still alone?"

Don't want to be alone

I wanted time to date

I wanted a child someday

Tell me it's not too late

I'm doing my best

In my best, in my best

I'm dreaming of a sunny balcony

A cup of coffee, a buttered toast

A purring kitty living in a dream

I'm living a distant dream

I'm living for this dream

So don't you say yours was better

Living in a dream, living in a dream

Spilling our time on repeat, on repeat

Filling in the empty space

Beyond the yellow lines

We're living for the dream, living for the dream

Tiny mice looked right at me, right at me

Is it a sign that it's time to slow down

I am in a race of one
