Small Worlds (Live at NPR’s Tiny Desk) lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah

[Chorus]
The world is so small 'til it ain't
I'm buildin' up a wall 'til it break
She hate it when I call and it's late
I don't wanna keep you waitin'
I hope I never keep you waitin'

[Verse 1]
I think I know it all but I don't
Why you always at the mall when you're broke?
And I just wanna ball
Maybe dunk, but I never been tall, yeah
I might trip, I never fall
God knows I came close, don't try this at home
I know I probably need to do better
f*ck whoever, keep my sh*t together
You never told me bein' rich was so lonely
Nobody know me, oh well
Hard to complain from this five-star hotel
I'm always in a rush, I've been thinkin' too much, but
Keep it on the hush, no one need to know, just us

[Pre-Chorus]
That's really all it takеs
We don't need nothin' but today, today, today, today, yeah
[Chorus]
The world is so small 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, yеah
I'm buildin' up a wall 'til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break, yeah
She hate it when I call and it's late, and it's late, and it's late
I don't wanna keep you waitin'
I hope I never keep you waitin'

[Bridge]
Yeah, dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum

[Verse 2]
I got a bad attitude, playin' 'til I'm out of moves
No need for shame, I get mo' peace at slow speeds
Go beat the game, young control freak
It's cold in my veins, I'm below freezin', snow season made me
They know that I so need my space
Don't wanna grow old so I smoke just in case
She say that I glow below the waist
And the stroke that's just so PGA
All I got is a little bit of space and time
Drawin' shapes and lines of a world we made, yeah
Tomorrow may be right around the corner
But I swear it's gon' be worth it if I make you wait, yeah
There's somewhere above you, keep reachin' up
[Pre-Chorus]
That's really all it takes
We don't need nothin' but today, today, today, today, yeah

[Chorus]
The world is so small 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't, yeah
I'm buildin' up a wall 'til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break, yeah
She hate it when I call and it's late, and it's late, and it's late
I don't wanna keep you waitin'
I hope I never keep you waitin', waitin'

[Verse 3]
Yeah, nine times out of ten, I get it wrong
That's why I wrote this song, tell myself to hold on
I can feel my fingers slippin', in a motherf*ckin' instant, I'll be gone
Do you want it all if it's all mediocre?
Starin' at the wall and the wall full of posters
Lookin' at my dreams, who I wanna be?
I guess you gotta see it to believe
Ooh, I been a fool but it's cool, that's what human beings do
Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes
Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed
But the sun comin' out now, clouds start to move
Don't tell me nothin' but the truth
I'm tired, I don't got a spare second
Win or lose, win or lose
I don't keep count, nobody checkin'
