"Problems"
by A R I Z O N A



Full Lyrics ▼

Sometimes I can't tell if anybody really even likes me
I shouldn't care but I still do and that's a little frightening

Maybe it's all in my head, maybe it's me instead
I should have stayed inside, I never should have gotten outta bed

'Cause I smoke when I drink
And I drink when I think
On top tonight but tomorrow, I'll be back at the bottom
It comes and it goes
But nobody knows
'Cause I hide everythin' in
But I got problems

Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
I got problems
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I hide everythin' in
But I got problems

Must be nice to not have to think twice 'bout everything always
Not being afraid, oh, I shouldn't say it, yeah, I miss the old days

Maybe it's all in my head, maybe it's me instead, oh
I should have stayed inside, I never should have gotten outta bed

'Cause I smoke when I drink
And I drink when I think
On top tonight but tomorrow, I'll be back at the bottom (Bottom)
It comes and it goes
But nobody knows
'Cause I hide everythin' in
But I got problems

Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
I got problems
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I hide everythin' in
But I got problems
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I hide everythin' in
But I got problems
Yeah, I got-

I got problems
Yeah, I got, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I hide everythin' in
But I got problems
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I hide everythin' in
But I got problems

A R I Z O N A is another one of the bands that I've found recently and I'm really enjoying. I almost went with "Nostalgic" or "Oceans Away" or "Find Someone" but this is the song that introduced me to the band and I swear I must've stayed up listening to it on repeat for two hours at least. I don't know what it is, exactly, about their sound, but it really resonates with me. It's a little pop, a little alternative, a little old, a little new. These guys (and The Band CAMINO) are probably the first bands in a long time that I've listened to and can say that I think they have a pretty unique sound.

This song in particular is one that I've found helps me write. I think it's the combination of the uptempo beat and the flowing lyrics, but it's one of the few songs I've been listening to lately that just energizes me to write. I've been trying to assemble a playlist of those kinds of songs in my effort to create more content this year. I'm actually trying to do playlists of songs for each project I work on, and this one's definitely shown up on a couple of different ones at this point.
