I finally (finally!) picked up The Neighbourhood album I Love You and I am so in love with it. My favorite song at the moment is "Afraid." It's been getting a ton of airplay on Alt Nation and for good reason. It's a great song.

Lyrics:

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place

Paid that money, fake that dummy, ache my tummy On the fence, all the time Paid junk honey, face so sunny, ain’t that funny All my friends always lie to me I know they’re thinking

You’re too mean, I don’t like you, fuck you anyway You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs It hurts but I won’t fight you You suck anyway You make me wanna die, right when I

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place [x3] When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me

Keep on dreaming, don’t stop breathing, fight those demons Sell your soul, not your whole self If they see you when you’re sleeping, make them leave it And I can’t even see if it’s all there anymore so

You’re too mean, I don’t like you, fuck you anyway You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs It hurts but I won’t fight you You suck anyway You make me wanna die, right when I

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place [x3] When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me

Being me can only mean Feeling scared to breathe If you leave me then I’ll be afraid of everything That makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up (I wake up, I wake up) Let me be

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place [x3] When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me
