The Latest News

original song

By Anna ScoutenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What news do you share when you run into someone who broke your heart?

have you heard the latest news?

Can I tell it to you now?

I’ve been sleeping in my socks,

Sometimes I breathe I don’t know how.

Have you heard the latest news?

Well it’s all over the place.

I’ve been swimming at the pool,

When I dream I see your face.

Have you heard the latest news?

There’s some things I’ve got to tell.

Well my garbage day’s now Friday,

Sometimes I think that I’m in hell.

Have you heard the latest news?

Have you heard from all around?

Well I got a brand new toothbrush,

Sometimes I just lay on the ground.

Have you heard the latest news?

Can I tell it to you now?

I’ve been sleeping in my socks,

Sometimes I breathe, I don’t know how.
