Lyrics
I logged into the latest app
And saw those fabulous photos
Legs in a hammock for a seaside nap
I'm swept away in a wave of fomo
Everyone's living their best lives
While I'm deeply insecure
How is it that I'm failing to thrive?
And why do I come back for more?
When I take out my phone
I see everything I'm not
It gets me feeling alone
Like I’m the only one without a yacht
Without a yacht
If comparison’s the thief of joy
Then this is the heist of the century
Compare, despair and get annoyed
This cycle brings out the worst in me
I really should take the time to see
Social posts can be so selective
You can easily edit your reality
And our view can't be objective
When I take out my phone
I see everything I'm not
It gets me feeling alone
Like I’m the only one without a yacht
Without a yacht
Scrolling in envy of likes and shares
Not really getting anywhere
What does it matter? I don’t know
But it pays for a yacht for some CEO
When I take out my phone
I see everything I'm not
It gets me feeling alone
Like I’m the only one without a yacht
Without a yacht
Like I’m the only one
Without a yacht
Only actually I’m not
