Waterparks Red Guitar
[Chorus]
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Verse 1]
What's up? I'm Awsten and I'm f..cking exhausted
The meter is running, can't imagine what it's costing
To keep up these superhuman levels of delusion
That all eyes are on me, they tune in like Truman
But really the truth is, reality's ruthless
So hard to remember why I even do this, oh yeah
The delusion that I've had since I was thirteen
That I could write a song and they'd put me on a magazine
[Pre-Chorus]
But none of y'all could ever, ever hurt me, no
But none of you could ever, ever hurt me 'cause
[Chorus]
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Verse 2]
If I could check back in on me as a kid
Be a crystal ball, he can see how we did
Knowing what I know and remembering him
It'd probably go something like this
"How's the future?" Woah
"Are we famous?" No
"Oh, well, what's it like though?"
Well, your life is a circus that makes you feel worthless
The ones you love most are the ones who get hurt, it's so—
"Wait, is this worth it?"
It's our purpose (Woah)
[Chorus]
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Bridge]
But none of y'all could ever, ever hurt me, no
But none of you could ever, ever hurt me (Woah)
[Chorus]
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
I just bought a brand-new red guitar
With six gold strings and a whammy bar
If I play it real good, it'll take me far
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
