Lyrics

Lyrics:
I feel like an Amazon box
90% empty and 10% socks

I feel like an Amazon box
90% empty and 10% socks

You know me, I'll be there
You can call me anytime
I'm no psychologic Freud
But I throw my ham croissants to the soil

Now help me if you can
You want me, I'll be there
But when I need a friend
I need you, you're not there

And all I wanna say
I get it, you were high
But how can I rely
When your fun counts more than mine?
