it's never the same
new personality, now tell me your name
tell me your height and tell me your age
what do you like? and what do you hate?
20 questions - all we have
to determine if I'm gonna stay or if I'm gonna pass
could it last? we'll never know
too busy trying to look for something better so...
the connection is tenuous
drifting apart before you can ever get into it
should you collide and get intimate
it's still hit or miss unless you dig deeper for the intricate
into the details, the underlines
the mysteries, the family history that's underlying
the political, the spiritual, the what and why
we keep trying but we fail and we wonder why - cause
we just wanna be loved
and we just wanna be wanted
so who am I to be judged
for what I want when I want it
and some would say that we need it
to feel this way and be needed
so it makes sense to believe that
the ups and downs all have meaning
man, I can't even tell the number of times I've taken the L
especially when the conversation went well
but give it a day cause time only tells
you playing the game but playing yourself
you going all in just hoping to win
tell the same stories over and over again
tell the same stories over and over again
it's so repetitive but it's better than letting in that feeling of rejection
so you at and trying to figure out how to edit this
profile with your style
add picture with your smile
witty comment, show your guile
pay premium, no more trial
we keep trying not to fail but don't know how - damn
-chorus-
you see the picture and you hoping they the type
like, give you feelings like no other with the right hype
you never know what it could be
so you hoping for the best
fingers crossed with the swipe right
chorus x2
