Royal by Waterparks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shut down the gold rush in my head
Because we're out of work
I'm living proof of compromise
"Be back in 10"
But no return
I'm sick of being in Houston
I'm sick of everything I've been around enough to get used to
I'm proof of consequences
And exhausting common sense
And I kill what I build
My common myth's confidence
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
[Verse 2]
You've painted your future
But I'm just not in the picture
Maybe I missed the frame
Maybe I'm seconds late, always late
'Cause I work myself to death
Don't believe me? Ask Geoff
And I'm doing alright
But is "alright" enough?
Because I'm living my dreams
But I live at home
'Cause everything is on the down low for now
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
[Bridge]
You won't like what you see
So keep your eyes off of me
I fall in love with everything
That wants nothing to do with me
I know that there's no dealing with the way I'm feeling
I'm so out of touch with everyone
And everything's a blur to me
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
Shut down the gold rush in my head
Because we're out of work
I'm living proof of compromise
"Be back in 10"
But no return
I'm sick of being in Houston
I'm sick of everything I've been around enough to get used to
I'm proof of consequences
And exhausting common sense
And I kill what I build
My common myth's confidence
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
[Verse 2]
You've painted your future
But I'm just not in the picture
Maybe I missed the frame
Maybe I'm seconds late, always late
'Cause I work myself to death
Don't believe me? Ask Geoff
And I'm doing alright
But is "alright" enough?
Because I'm living my dreams
But I live at home
'Cause everything is on the down low for now
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
[Bridge]
You won't like what you see
So keep your eyes off of me
I fall in love with everything
That wants nothing to do with me
I know that there's no dealing with the way I'm feeling

And everything's a blur to me
[Chorus]
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I'm two faced from your double exposure
Stop right there, don't come any closer
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
I wish I was royal but I'm not
