Lyrics
(I'm taking my shit off)
(Cloud) Stacks of contracts, piles of mail
So many dreams for rent or sale
How many messages on my phone?
They're far away, I'm still here alone
The sun's gone down, stay a while longer
My feelings are drowned with the booze much stronger
I need a companion, who could that be?
I think I need a vacation from me
Take the medication from myself - me, myself and I
Take the well deserved vacation from myself - me, myself and I
Me, myself and I
(Cloud) My curtains at home have colours I don't remember
(Saaresto) Oh I don't remember
(Cloud) There's a leak in the sink that I forgot to fix
(Saaresto) Yeah, I'm always forgetting that stuff
(Cloud) The milk in the fridge is from last November
(Saaresto) Could've been September
(Cloud) Well my work and my home life is not a good mix
(Saaresto) Oh no no no no no
(Both) Taking a vacation from myself - me, myself and I
Taking a deserved vacation from myself - me, myself and I
Me, myself and I
(Saaresto) Ohh yeah!
There's a crown in my hair
Noone in my bed, no
I just need to take it to somewhere
I don't know when
Has she set a date
You could be too late, oh
(Both) Take the medication from myself - me, myself and I
Taking a vacation from myself
Take the well deserved vacation from myself
(Saaresto) Myself, myself, myself!
(Cloud) Me, myself and I
