Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to write in notebooks
I used to read maps
I used to send letters
I used to take naps
[Verse 2]
But everything changes
So did I
It's not the same world
I'm not the same guy
[Verse 3]
I used to call the bank up
For the temperature and time
I listened to a dial tone
I waited on a line
[Verse 4]
But now I got the answers
I pull them from the sky
It's not the same world
I'm not the same guy
[Verse 5]
Did you know
There are pictures of you on my phone? It's true
Did you know
There are reasons for these things I do, I do?
[Verse 6]
I used to have sweet dreams
When I was poor
I got a little dough now
Don't dream anymore
[Verse 7]
I lay awake and worry
Wonder when I'm gonna die
I'm never all alone
Got the reaper standing by
[Verse 8]
Did you know
There are pictures of you on my phone? It's true
Did you know
There are reasons for these things I do, I do?
[Verse 9]
Did you know
That I think of you when I'm alone? It's true
Did you know
There are reasons for these things I do, I do?
[Verse 10]
I used to write in notebooks
I used to write in notebooks
I used to write in notebooks
Ah-oh-oh
