Seriously, they're nothing special at all
Only redeeming factor is the chorus lyrics changing up, I find that an interesting song-writing technique
There's a wide gulf between "nothing special" and "horrid" though. They're solid imo.
No there isn't. Everything is amazing or cringe worthy.
:finger: all you guys. I don't find anything redeeming in these lyrics and have little interest in defending what is ultimately a subjective set of opinions.
WELL YOU SHOULD DO.
srsly, this isn't an attack on you guys personally- nor on anyone. only on the way these lyrics hit me - I don't pass judgment on anyone for liking them, or for not agreeing with me - I only pass judgment on the lyrics.
Joke :lol: :oops:
it was just a comment, pals. nothing personal

This is actually the reason I find Porch kind of boring. It's just an excuse for a minute-long solo.
