Lyrics

We take our time, we never get anything done

We prioritize taking our time but struggle to accomplish tasks.

I made a list of all the things that I would do with you

I've compiled a list of activities I envisioned doing with you.

But I've wasted my summer

I've wasted my summer, possibly alluding to missed opportunities or regrets.

We used to play those games on the Northside

Now I get drunk and I just stay inside

Now, I find solace in alcohol and isolation, avoiding social interactions.

All of my friends are not around
