Ivy Dreams - Bishop Ivy

I never hated the smell of cigarettes

They only take me back to when I was in better days

I’m not a smoker

Just smells like San Francisco

The aroma carries me like coffee does to Massachusetts

Nowadays it seems that I can’t hold a conversation

Can’t get past the walls of ‘What's your name', ‘How're you doing'

I always fumble with a cringe, smile, and then quiet

Only friends I make are forced laughs, awkward silence

All the fun I used to have

And all the times I used to laugh

Did I trade it all away for a job

What a shame, what a shame that they leave me now

They don’t know where I’m at cause I’m not around

And I missed every party

Gearing my gaze to the ground

I’m all by myself

I’m all by myself

Nowadays it seems that I don’t have the time to waste

Going back and forth in notebook paper and due dates

I thought my senior year would give some more time to play

Left the football game alone hiding my face in shame

I just sold my soul for College Board’s gold chocolate ticket

Ain’t no factory tour, just waiting on ivy decisions

And if I don’t get in does that mean it’s all wasted time

At least my parents didn’t photoshop me rowing, right?

All the fun I used to have

And all the times I used to laugh

Did I trade it all away for a job

What a shame, what a shame that they leave me now

They don’t know where I’m at cause I’m not around

And I missed every party

Gearing my gaze to the ground

I’m all by myself

I’m all by myself

Love is waiting on me now

Waiting on me

If I took more chances, would they make memories

Love is waiting on me now

Waiting on me

If I took more chances, would they make memories

What a shame, what a shame that they leave me now

They don’t know where I’m at cause I’m not around

And I missed every party

Gearing my gaze to the ground

I’m all by myself

Yeah I’m all by myself
