Lyrics
INTRO
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
No plans to make,
No moves to fake,
No promises I'm gonna break.
VERSE ONE
I woke up late, the clock gave up,
Cold coffee sitting in an empty cup.
The world outside has a thousand things,
I'm busy watching what the silence brings.
No urgent calls, no place to be,
No heavy thoughts demanding me.
The day keeps running, I let it pass,
Me and my shadow, avoiding the grass.
PRE-CHORUS
Don't ask me what I'm thinking,
Don't ask me where I've been.
I'm not outside losing,
I'm not inside to win.
CHORUS
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
No big dreams, no golden something.
No race to run, no crown to claim,
No need to put my name in the game.
Nothing, nothing, let the whole world spin,
Everybody's out there trying to win.
But if you need me, here's the truth:
I'm doing nothing, and I'm doing it smooth.
VERSE TWO
My phone lights up, I let it ring,
I owe the world exactly nothing.
The laundry's grown into a mountain range,
My plans for later are subject to change.
They say, "Get up, go chase your fate!"
I say, "Can fate come back a little late?"
They build their kingdoms, they climb their walls,
I found a chair and canceled it all.
PRE-CHORUS
Don't call it wasted,
Don't call it wrong.
I've been doing nothing
And I've been at it all along.
CHORUS
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
No big dreams, no golden something.
No race to run, no crown to claim,
No need to put my name in the game.
Nothing, nothing, let the whole world spin,
Everybody's out there trying to win.
But if you need me, here's the truth:
I'm doing nothing, and I'm doing it smooth.
BRIDGE
Maybe tomorrow I'll change my ways,
Conquer the world in a couple of days.
Make a new plan, make a fresh start,
Put a little ambition into my heart.
But tomorrow's tomorrow, and today is today,
And the bed looks better than the highway.
So save that speech, keep that advice,
I'm not buying effort at the full damn price.
BREAKDOWN
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Where are you going?
Nowhere.
What's your big plan?
No plan.
What's your next move?
Don't care.
FINAL CHORUS
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
No big dreams, no golden something.
The world's on fire with a thousand demands,
I'm still right here with my feet in my hands.
Nothing, nothing, let the whole world spin,
You call it losing, I call it a win.
No grand finale, no breakthrough,
Just me doing nothing like I was born to do.
OUTRO
Nothing.
Still nothing.
Ask me tomorrow.
I'll tell you nothing.
