Lyrics

Comfortably middle class
Primrose path kind of a bore
Writing plans on a calendar from
Some upscale department store
Showing a life that is traveled
But wouldn't stray far from the norm
Staying in a bubble
Going in circles
It's all I've ever known
Singing la di da
The world is on fire
But I'm just chilling
I've got no regrets
Holy cow
I settled down
Thought I could be just like everyone else
Faking happy
Is this the reality for me
Is this what's best
Gotta stop letting past traumas and triggers
Keep me in check
Going down rabbit holes
Only to find that I don't know shit
So self-righteous
It's all I've ever been
Singing la di da
The world is on fire
But I'm just chilling
I've got no regrets
Holy cow
I settled down
Thought I could be just like everyone else
Faking happy
Who's gonna save me
From faking happy
Who's gonna save me from
Smiling in pictures
Just for attention
Life is but a sham
Singing la di da
The world is on fire
But I'm just chilling
I got no regrets
Holy cow
I settled down
Thought it was right
Now I don't know myself
