Rex Orange County - WHO CARES? Album Lyrics

---

KEEP IT UP

Every time I open my mouth
I have regrets in my mind every time
And no one seems to figure me out
I guess it's stress
It's making me feel so depressed
Most my life I felt so tired
But every now and then when I try
I say

Keep it up and go on
You're only holding out for what you want
You no longer owe the strangers
It's enough, it's enough
Keep it up and go on
Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
I know that it's so frustrating
It's enough, keep it up

Now I'm here, and I wish that I wasn't
I'm in a place in front of a dozen
People I've never met
And I don't know if this is correct, oh
I guess, I'm blessed
I never give myself respect
Most my life I'm asking why
But any time I give it a try
I say

Keep it up and go on
You're only holding out for what you want
You no longer owe the strangers
It's enough, it's enough
Keep it up and go on
Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
I know that it's so frustrating
It's enough, keep it up

Yeah, it's enough
I've really had enough
I've paid the price, I'm done, no

Keep it up and go on
You're only holding out for what you want
You no longer owe the strangers
It's enough, it's enough
Keep it up and go on
Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
I know that it's so frustrating
It's enough, keep it up

(It's enough, it's enough)
(Keep it up, keep it up)
(Up, no, no, mm, mm)

OPEN A WINDOW

Can I open a window?
Can somebody open the door?
There's so many reasons
I can barely take it anymore

Stuck here and I never seem to get away
But I'll hang on
Seasons change but you don't ever
Oh, soon as I can see your face
I'm fine I'm sure
I'm tryna find a way to get out

So can I open a window?
Can somebody open the door?
There's so many reasons
I can barely take it anymore

F*ck this, I might leave the people tellin' me
What I should do
They want change, but you don't ever
Oh, tryin' to ignore the thought of wanting to
But every single time that I do
I'm like, "Um"

Could I open a window?
Can somebody open the door?
There's so many reasons
I can barely take it anymore, no

Yeah, see what the f*ck?
Niggas feelin' stuck, really feelin' stuck
Like the middle car on freeway pile up with semi-trucks
Open door, but you can't, try to run, but you pant
Out of breath, you can't vent, 'cause the AC actin' up
Nah, really, if somethin' feelin' dirty to me
At the roots like a tree, see, I just up and I leave
It ain't pertainin' to me, I don't engage, I don't care
They like, "You get it?" I'm like, "Yeah", and get the f*ck out of here
See, I concur, I'm modest, I'm Tyler, I'm honest
I never bite my tongue, it's for the better, I promise
You stuck, then move, because I'm running, like sinus
I knows they quiet like that last E in, "Silence" (yeah)

There's so many reasons
I can barely take it anymore, no

WORTH IT

It's not worth it anymore, I feel insane
That I'm not sure why things change
What's worth it anymore? Am I not the same?
No, I'm not sure if I'm to blame, yeah

Let it go, give it a try
Didn't you know nobody's perfect
And it's not like you don't mess up and deserve it
It's a hard lesson to learn, but, boy, it's worth it (worth it, worth it)
And you don't wanna cry but you do
You can choose to be upset or just get over it
It's up to you
What you wanna do? Oh

It's not worth it anymore, I feel insane
And I'm not sure why things change
What's worth it anymore? Am I not the same?
No, I'm not sure if I'm to blame, yeah

AMAZING

There's no way to time it
And where you may find it
Is unknown, until then
You're a loner
So you see her (see her)
She's over (over) in the corner (corner)
And you can't (you can't) ignore her (ignore her)
There must be a reason
You see it, believe it now

Search the definition of shame
I'm sure you'll see my face
Who's gonna save me now?
I hope it's you, my babe

Don't change a thing, you are amazing
I can't believe you've come and saved me
You can stay here, spend every day here
I don't mind, no
Don't change a thing, you are amazing
I can't believe you've come and saved me
You can stay here, spend every day here
I don't mind

See her
She's over in the corner
And I can't ignore her
I hope there's a reason
To see it, I see it now (now, oh)

Search the definition of afraid
And I'm sure you'll see my face
Who's gonna save me now?
I hope it's you, my babe

Don't change a thing, you are amazing
I can't believe you've come and saved me
You can stay here, spend every day, dear
I wouldn't mind
Don't change a thing, you are amazing
I can't believe you've come and saved me
You can stay here, spend every day here
Oh (I don't mind), that's alright

Yeah

ONE IN A MILLION

My heart keeps driving me crazy
There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware
There's no one quite like you
You're one of one, one in a million

I'm alone with you
Wakin' up and hangin' out at home with you
You don't ever do no wrong to me
I wish that I could just say the same
But it's okay, I'm tryin' to do
Whatever it takes to believe
That I'm enough, and hope you agree
I've fallen for you, I'm dazed and confused
It's crazy what you mean to me

My heart keeps driving me crazy
There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware (uh)
There's no one quite like you
You're one of one, one in a million, whoa
One in a million
You're one of one, one in a million, whoa

Baby, I've been up all night
I won't sleep and I'm not tired
What the f*ck should we wait for?
I can't take this anymore
It's the only thing I need
It's the most important thing
It's my one and only wish
It's such a crazy way to be

Wakin' up and hangin' out at home with you
You don't ever do no wrong to me
I wish that I could just say the same
But it's okay, I'm tryin' to do
Whatever it takes to believe
That I'm enough, and hope you agree
I've fallen for you, I'm dazed and confused
Insane with what you're doin' to me

My heart keeps driving me crazy
There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware
There's no one quite like you
You're one of one, one in a million, whoa

My heart keeps driving me crazy
There's nothing much I can do, I'm aware
There's no one quite like you
You're one of one, one in a million

Baby, wait up for me, I got somethin' I need to do

7 AM

Oh
Oh

7 AM, I'm wakin' up
Guess that I shoulda kept the curtains shut
I'm gonna be a better man someday
7 AM, I'm out of luck
Guess that I shoulda tried to give a f*ck
I guess that I was doin' it wrong this time
Wrong this time again

I'm no good at this, I'm f*ckin' up
I got used to failin', but I'm not dumb
So excuse me if I'm wastin' all the fun

I know that I wanna be independent
I really wanna prove myself today
But what if I'm hopeless and dependent?
Once again, should I pack up or stay?

I'm no good at this, I'm f*ckin' up
I got used to failin', but I'm not dumb
So excuse me if I'm wastin' all the fun

What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits
What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits
What if I'm not cut out for this?
And I keep one to call it quits, yeah
What if I'm not cut out for this? Whoa
And I keep one to call it quits, oh, whoa

THE SHADE

Two, three, four

I was closin' all the blinds just so you could sleep the night through
I was stayin' by your side just so I knew you were okay
Then I was openin' the door just to see if you would walk through
I started paintin' all the walls just to see if you liked the shade

I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else, no
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go

You were holdin' out your hands, hopin' I'd be there to hold too
I went out to Amsterdam just so I could give you some space
But I kept openin' my door just to see if you would walk through
But now I'm paintin' all my walls just to see if you like the shade

I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else, no
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go

Not with anybody else, anybody else
Please don't go
Not with anybody else, anybody else, no
Please don't go

Makin' time
Just to see you, whoa
We're safe inside, you make things fine
Don't wait up, I'm okay, I'm okay

Makin' time tonight
Just to see you, whoa
We're safe inside, you make things right
Don't wait up, I'm okay, I'm okay

Makin' time tonight
Just to see you, no, no

So don't wait up, I'm okay, I'm okay

SHOOT ME DOWN

Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow

Slowly lost my mind
What if this heart breaks into
Somethin' that I'm unable to heal
And what about the time?
I try my best to make it okay
Every day, but either way

No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, whoa, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh

Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow

Lonely here tonight
No one I can speak to right now
Might remain here, underneath the sheets
A lot of wasted time
Just thinkin' things that don't excel me
It starts to rain, but that won't hurt 'cause

No one can stop me now
I feel the rain upon my face again
This is the life, oh, and they're gonna say I'm a handful
But they don't keep me alive, ooh

So don't lose me now
Don't shoot me down
I'm gon' stick around
We'll do it somehow
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down
I'll stick around
We'll do it somehow
Do it somehow

WHO CARES?

Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm (ooh)
Mm-mm-mm
Mm, mm (ooh)

First time I tried this I was free of doubt
I had no fear
Why can't I just do that again?
All the things I used to dream about
Got too far from reach
Now I don't know what's happened to me

So you wanna be happy too?
What are you supposed to do?
Now you care about who cares

Who cares?
Who cares?
Ah, who? Who cares?
Who cares?
Ah, who?

People make me wanna scream and shout (ah)
Right now we're here
So why can't I just see you, my friend?
This is what I cannot live without
Okay, it's clear
There's really no point livin' in fear

I wanna be happy too
I know what I'm supposed to do
Now that I know who cares

Who cares? (Who cares? Yeah)
Who cares? (Ah)
Ah, who? Who cares? (No)
Who cares? (Oh)
Ah, who?

Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm (ooh)
