Lyrics
Pack up and leave, take all your things
Packing up and leaving, collecting personal belongings
Turn off your phone so you don't hear it ring
Turning off the phone to avoid calls
They're not gonna call, won't beg and plead
Expecting no calls, not willing to beg or plead
I bet they're already falling sleep
Suspecting others are already asleep
But you drive around thinking about
Reflecting while driving about past mistakes
All of the ways you let everyone down
Feeling regret about letting others down
But it's all a game you play in your head
Viewing life as a mental game
It's all a game you play in your head
Emphasizing the mental nature of the challenges
And you like it
Expressing enjoyment of the situation
Like it when you're not invited
Liking being excluded or not invited
Like it when you spend the night in
Enjoying spending the night alone
Yeah you like it, yeah you like it
Reiterating the pleasure derived from the situation
Ooh, you like it, like it when you're in the dark and
Expressing liking the darkness
Like it even when you're crying
Liking situations even when crying
Yeah you like it, yeah you like it
Reiterating the enjoyment of the circumstances
Fuck up enough and you'll see them run
Suggesting that making mistakes pushes people away
It doesn't matter just how good it was
Stating that the quality of past experiences doesn't matter
It's all gonna change and if you stay the same
Highlighting the inevitability of change
You'll be alone but it's fine anyways
Accepting the possibility of loneliness
Oh you drive around thinking about
Continuing to reflect on past mistakes
All of the ways you let everyone down
Acknowledging the mental game in self-reflection
But it's all a game you play in your head
Emphasizing the mental aspect of self-criticism
It's all a game you play in your head
Reiteration of life as a mental game
And you like it
Repeating the enjoyment of the situation
Like it when you're not invited
Expressing satisfaction in being excluded
Like it when you spend the night in
Liking the solitude of spending the night alone
Yeah you like it, yeah you like it
Reaffirming the pleasure derived from the situation
Ooh, you like it, like it when you're in the dark and
Expressing liking the darkness and difficult times
Like it even when you're crying
Liking situations even when experiencing sadness
Yeah you like it
Repeating the enjoyment of the circumstances
I'm getting old looking around
Reflecting on aging and observing surroundings
Losing my years like I'm not going out
Feeling the passage of time without going out
Not going out
Repeating the decision not to go out
I don't wanna wait for something to change
Expressing impatience for change and not waiting
I live in my head and I'm thinking I'll stay
Choosing to live in one's thoughts and deciding to stay there
I think I'll stay
Reiterating the decision to stay in one's thoughts
Cause I like it, I like it, ooh I like it, I like it
Repeating the affirmation of liking the situation
I like it, I like it, ooh I like it, I like it
Continuing the affirmation of liking the situation
(I like that last one)
Humorous acknowledgment of the previous line
