"Invitation" lyrics
"Invitation"
I suggested we be friends, it's stupid being cordial
Why must I invite acquaintances into my quarters?
He smells out of Hollister, he's dressed in business formal
I should've guessed by now
Boys like him, they make moves quick, they couldn't risk my shelf life
I miss setting expectations higher than my belt line
I forget what plain appreciation ever felt like
I say I'll let him out
Don't make jokes about how I'll be in bed
When did parents stop teaching respect?
I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take "no" as an invitation
Trial two, I call him "dude", I make sure to be forward
I turn on Avengers, then he switches it to horror
Told him I don't want a lover, just a friend who's loyal
That's when it all goes south
Don't act like my words aren't what they seem
Not sorry to bruise your fragile self esteem
I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take "no" as a "let's get naked"
Hear me clear, don't be mistaken
I'm no goal to score with patience
Bargaining provokes my hatred
My body's no invitation
So I'm a pessimist, that's what my blessing is
I expect the worst from everybody that I meet
Yeah it's sweet
But not a single boy's disproven me
I'm a pessimist, I'm so jaded
Set a boundary, he'll invade it
What is wrong with this generation?
To take no as an invitation
Invitation, invitation
Saying no's no invitation
Invitation, invitation

Xana - "bet you'll get off on this" Maybe in another year
You might be different
Rather not admit
How many years I've been insisting
Searching for the good in you
And coming up short
You showed me your true colors
And I don't like 'em...
Zoe Clark - "Spinning" Hey, what are you doing tonight?
It's raining hard outside
And you've been on my mind
Whole time don't want to hit rewind
But you leave me behind
Every single time
Oh, last night you were right...
Cloudy June - "Psycho" What's it like to fall for a psycho?
Got a bad habit, mama don't get
She won't understand so better not tell her
Get down with me just a little
Gotta get stuck in the middle
Been off my medication...
J. Maya - "Prophecies" When you were my age, you gave up your world
Already married, raising a girl
Clinging to pages that never unfurled
It must have been a whirlwind
You kept yourself drunk on childhood dreams
They tore...
Marisa Maino - "drugs with god" When I was younger, they said the thunder
Was angels bowling
Now that I'm older, I know for sure that's
Not what they're rolling
The world is blowing up
And God's just lighting up
Watching it all...
