What Do We Do It For? Lyrics by Tiny Habits
Landed in a new city
On a continent I never thought I’d make it to
I’ve been keeping dreams with me
But this isn’t what I ever thought would come true
Windows and curtains
Created by Germans
Cash conversion kangaroo
I thought for certain
You’d be here looking, too
What do we do it for
I’ve been sleeping in a hotel
With your picture in a drawer
And oh, it’s hard to ignore
Always saying it’s something
That I wish you could’ve been there for
Spilling wine so gracelessly
At a restaurant I never thought I’d eat in
But I hope they didn’t notice me
Peeking over at the bill before leaving
New coat and straightened tie
Baby, I’m just tryna fit in someone else’s shoes
But it’s a new stamp on a passport
What else could I ask for?
It’s not quite a second out
But the whole time I thought about
What do we do it for
I’ve been sleeping in a hotel
With your picture in a drawer
And oh, it’s hard to ignore
How stupid I sound to be asking for more
‘Cause oh, how lucky we are
To be blowing out these candles
And reading out the cards
Oh, it tugs on my heart
Every stage that I’m on
Every state line that I cross
So much to gain, but the loss
Sometimes can feel like it’s more
What on Earth do we do it for?
