Paper Plates

I, I wake up and get to work
I don't have time to make my bed
And I can't remember what you said
Text me so I don't forget
I won't circle to find a parking spot
I'd rather just pull into a lot
Who cares about the money spent?
Living in the moment

So if it's not convenient
If it's just gonna rain on my parade
If it adds more work to what I've made
Then I'd rather just eat all my meals on a paper plate

(Throw it away)
Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always been so drawn to plastic
I've been so uncomfortable
Working with what's in thesе cabinets
Oh, I know I've got evеrything I need
But it's easy to throw cares away
Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always preferred paper plates

You, you say I don't care how you feel
I say your feelings are real, but I can't
Can't find the space to squeeze them in
Too much in my head now

So if it's not relevant
If it's just gonna get me to think too hard
If you're trying to make me put down my guard
Then I'd rather just eat all alone on my paper plate

Throw it away
Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always been so drawn to plastic
I've been so uncomfortable
Working with what's in these cabinets
Oh, I know I've got everything I need
But it's easy to throw cares away
No, I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always preferred paper plates

(Throw it away, paper plates)
Throw it away, throw it away
(Throw it away)
I don't have time to waste
(Throw it away, paper plates)
Throw it away, throw it away
Just living in the moment
I don't have time to waste

I, I avoid the grit of life
The responsibility and fight
And my garbage piles so high
Oh no, I can't hide from my feelings
Gotta learn to deal with the rainy days (all those rainy days)
If I don't do the work, I don't get paid
So I'm tryin' to handle my heart in a healthy way

(Don't want it to break)
Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always been so drawn to plastic
And I've been so uncomfortable
Cleaning out what's in these cabinets
Oh, I know I've got everything I need
And life's not disposable
I never knew, no, I never knew why
I've always preferred paper plates
