Shauf, Andy - Things I Do Lyrics






Seems like I should have known better
Than to turn my head like it didn't matter
Why do I do the things I do
When I know I am losing you?

It was supposed to be a surprise
Me showing up, you thought I was working
Why do I do the things I do
When I know I am losing you?

Thought you'd be happy to see me
But you said, "What the hell are you doing here?"
Why do I do the things I do
When I know I am losing you?

You pushed me away from him
He said "Buddy, calm down," you were so embarrassed
Seems like I should have known better
Than to turn my head like it didn't matter
Why do I do the things I do
When I know I am losing you?
When I know I am losing you

    Lyrics ❤️

    Seems like I should have known better
    Than to turn my head like it didn't matter.
    Why do I do the things I do
    When I know I am losing you?

    It was supposed to be a surprise,
    Me showing up, you thought I was working.
    Why do I do the things I do
    When I know I am losing you?

    Thought you'd be happy to see me
    But you said, "What the hell are you doing here?"
    Why do I do the things I do
    When I know I am losing you?

    You pushed me away from him.
    He said "Buddy, calm down," you were so embarrassed.
    Seems like I should have known better
    Than to turn my head like it didn't matter.
    Why do I do the things I do
    When I know I am losing you?
    When I know I am losing you

  62. B.... A....

  74. L.... S....

    I digged the whole internet for months since I heard some new songs live in 2018, it feels soooooo good to hear this new stuff in studio!

  75. A.... S....

    New album 'The Neon Skyline' is out January 24 on ANTI- Records / Arts & Crafts (CA). Pre-order Now at https://andyshauf.ffm.to/theneonskyline.

    A.... S....

    Dude i listened to this song like 8 times in series. You got me again

    A.... S....

    Good way to start a new decade!!!

    A.... S....

    Can I create a music video with you?  
    I have alot of recent innovations you might be into like sketching on paper on the mouse pad to make music.  
    What you think of the video including sketching the frames of your animations on copper foil on the mouse pad instead of paper then completely covering a room / cube in the copper sketches to isolate it from radio frequencies for the use of lucid dreams as a monitor when waking up in the morning? I also like the idea of making the copper room/cube outside in a sound proofed tent with a tree guarding it that I'll light and rope branches of to give it movement to make it look like a giant with a towering voice to free more distortion from the use of lucid dreams as a monitor (which makes consciosness malleable for the foundation of mind externalization).

    A.... S....

    Nicholas O'Neal Blume buddy calm down

  76. M.... T....

    So glad he’s back! Love u Andy

  77. C.... J....
