Another life
Another story
She walked out
Said I was boring
About 3AM
That’s when I called my friends

We hit the bar
Sent myself flying
Shit I said
I’m never trying
Til’ the bitter end
But every now and then

I wonder what it feels like
To be more than I am

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet
Ah shit
Am I winner yet
Look quick
Is he a winner yet
Mom’s back home with a drink and a cigarette

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet
Ah shit
Am I winner yet
Look quick
Hasn’t hit him yet
Mom’s back home with a drink and a cigarette

Oooh oooh
Still hasn’t hit him yet

And I don’t wanna base my actions on reactions or the things they say
And I don’t wanna hit delete on all the parts of me that they might hate
Now I’m laying in my bed
And I can’t get out my head
It’s all because, all because

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet
Ah shit
Am I winner yet
Look quick
Is he a winner yet
Mom’s back home with a drink and a cigarette

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet
Ah shit
Am I winner yet
Look quick
Hasn’t hit him yet
Mom’s back home with a drink and a cigarette

Oooh oooh
Still hasn’t hit him yet
Oooh oooh
Still hasn’t hit him yet

I sold my soul
And all I got
Is likes from strangers
Love on the internet
Drugs and the internet

I wonder what it feels like to be more than I am
I am

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
