"Finer Things" lyrics
Eli Lucas Lyrics
You want the finer things? the finest thing is feeling fine
About the way you spent your life when everything is said and done
You want designer clothes and diamond rings, the luxury
That comes along with selling all your time for having pretty fun
It is a sacrifice to gratify yourself another day
Call that delayed, looks like you've got another choice to make
Who do you hope that you become? it's time to take another look
Step back and really get a grasp on your philosophy
Who would you become if you did everything you should?
We are just wasting our potential, but claim we're misunderstood
When things don't go our way, we make a point to be the victim
Throw our legacy away and fade into obscurity
Always wanted to be famous back in 2017
I didn't wanna go to work, I'd rather be home making beats
It's kinda sad to think about how lost I was
Then I got everything I ever wanted but it didn't make me any less lost
Can't tie a branch to a balloon and just expect a tree to grow
Without the roots it might as well be overflown
Buried at the bottom of a sea, man I was drowning and I really had no clue I was in need
It's honestly incredible that I avoided drugs
Could have just become a junkie, living without love
You want the finer things? the finest thing is feeling fine
About the way you spent your life when everything is said and done
You want designer clothes and diamond rings, the luxury
That comes along with selling all your time for having pretty fun
It is a sacrifice to gratify yourself another day
Call that delayed, looks like you've got another choice to make
Who do you hope that you become? it's time to take another look
Step back and really get a grasp on your philosophy
I was nihilistic for a long time
It's a miracle I didn't take my own life
I blame my narcissistic tendencies
I hated living but I loved myself more than I care to be admitting here
Used to think so highly of myself when I was terrible
Now I like to think that it's the opposite, I'm not comparable
To who I was in 2021
I know that I am nothing but for what my God has done
Yeah, I only boast in what I have in Christ
The joy of knowing Him, the literal purpose of life
It is my hope that you would come to know Him too
If anyone has questions, know that I'd gladly respond to you
And if you knew the person that I was before
I guarantee that you'd be asking how I came to find my Lord
You want the finer things? the finest thing is feeling fine
About the way you spent your life when everything is said and done
You want designer clothes and diamond rings, the luxury
That comes along with selling all your time for having pretty fun
It is a sacrifice to gratify yourself another day
Call that delayed, looks like you've got another choice to make
Who do you hope that you become? it's time to take another look
Step back and really get a grasp on your philosophy
About the way you spent your life when everything is said and done
You want designer clothes and diamond rings, the luxury
That comes along with selling all your time for having pretty fun
It is a sacrifice to gratify yourself another day
Call that delayed, looks like you've got another choice to make
Who do you hope that you become? it's time to take another look
Step back and really get a grasp on your philosophy
Who would you become if you did everything you should?
We are just wasting our potential, but claim we're misunderstood
When things don't go our way, we make a point to be the victim
