lyrics

Oh my god
If I’m getting too loud would you let me know?
Before it’s too late
And I can show myself out
And get home safe

Cuz I don’t wanna pass out in your bathroom
(Full disclosure I might have puked in your bathroom)
Oh Oh Tonight

It’s not impossible to imagine a scenario where I move to Ontario
In a misguided mid-twenties attempt to make it big
But end up in another crappy cafe job
To pay my rent

(Okay late twenties)

Oh my Oh my god
I didn’t factor in I never even thought about
How expensive it gets living on your own
In a city with no rent control and a batch of brand new condos

I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m breaking Into my apartment

(He’s breaking into his apartment)

The locks are frozen and my key broke off inside the doorknob
And it’d be an hour or two by myself waiting for my landlord
To bring a spare that I know she’s gonna charge me for
And I keep thinking back to 2004
The last time that this happened to me I had my best friend there
And I still couldn’t breathe

I was fourteen feeling powerless
And by 26 I kind of thought that that feeling would pass
I’ve been wrong about a lot of stuff
And felt a lot of things
And let me tell you that’s a feeling that lasts

And it’s not impossible to envision feeling nervous
Every second every minute every hour every day
Of this middling existence and like Chad Kroeger says
It’s too bad it’s too bad it’s too bad it’s too bad

(Hey it’s not all that bad)

Oh my Oh my god
I never held out hope I never considered you might
Ever ever wanna see my face again
Let alone make amends
But you just moved back in

I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
I’m not breaking down
Barriers or conventions in music and songwriting

It’s not repetitive more like derivative
But I’ll admit I repeat myself a lot
Ba da da-ee ah ba’s and self doubt
Are all that I got

There was that time that I tried to make a metaphor
It wouldn’t stick to the wall it just fell to the floor
I picked it up and I dusted it off
Gave it a thumbs down like Siskel did to Reservoir Dogs

And now I’m the same age as Quentin Tarantino was
When he shot that first film
And I hate it cause I know
I don’t got ten records to make heck one was kinda pushing it
I already think I’m full of shit

And it feels impossible
Getting back into a headspace where I’m ready
And able to create
Another song that’s not about writing songs
Fake it til you make it’s all when good man as long as you can pull it off
You can pull it off

I’m not breaking down

I Promise.

about

No, It's Fine. image

No, It's Fine. Halifax, Nova Scotia

Award winning Post-Emo-Pop-Revival. Pretty much exactly the kind of music you would expect a Nova Scotian who visited Philadelphia once and then never stopped talking about it to make.
