[Music video intro]
I don't know, I just remember being so much brighter.... I guess
Yeah, it's a weird thing, like, I don't know hehe uhm... I definitely feel like I'm at the beginning of all this and I want it to be really beautiful uhm, and I guess that's the best way to look at it. Just take it

[Verse 1]
So tell me this is who you are
They tell me I've got something more
And oh, "you could be loved"
But I don't want the lights to find me when I'm dark and lost
But never on my own

[Chorus]
'Cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra
Singing like I can't stop
'Cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I just wanna live like the ones before, yeah
And maybe I could play guitar like Hendrix
Or save the world or end it
And then maybe they'll remember me when I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
That's all I want

[Verse 2]
So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
Whoever wants to hear
And I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat 'till I'm burnt out and disappear
But I owe you nothing
And I own my luck
Oh, they said "you'll never be alone again"
But I don't think you understand me or what I fear
"But you could be loved"
But I don't wanna lie to tell myself
I'm more than all the mistakes I've outrun

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm only here for a minute
And I don't care what you say 'cause I know
You're only here 'cause I'm winning
But I can be my own kind of rock and roll
I don't really care if you say you don't fuck with me
And I can say what the fuck I want 'cause it's down to me
And I got love for you even if you are doubting me
Like, oh my God, I just can't stop

[Chorus]
'Cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra
With ethanol my soundtrack
'Cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I wonder how it feels to burn out young, yeah
'Cause I just wanna die before my heart fails
From heartbreak or cocktails and
Then maybe you'll cry once you know I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
Oh, that's all I want, yeah

[Bridge]
'Cause I ain't scared of livin'
Does it get easier?
No... yes, it gets easier
No, I ain't scared of livin'
Oh yeah?
No, I ain't scared of livin'
Look at you

[Outro]
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll - that's all I want
'Cause it's all we've got
What are we breathin' for if we ain't living?
What's under the words you know - that's all I want
And I don't want your love
I just wanna feel like I'm still livin'
Something more than superficial is all I want
And if there is no god
I know the day I die, I lived through heaven
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll - that's all I want
And that I gave it hell
And if it hurt, oh well
At least that's living
The more you know who you are and what you want...
That's all I want
...the less you let things upset you
That's all I want
I just don't know what I'm supposed to be, you know?
I tried being a writer but I hate what I write
And I tried taking pictures but they were so mediocre
You know, and every girl goes through a photography phase
You know, like horses, you know, take, uh, dumb pictures of your feet
You'll figure that out - I'm not worried about you

[Extended]
If all we had is time then we’ll be alright
It’s not much but it’s better than nothing
Sex, drugs and rock and roll that’s all I want
What’s under the words you know that’s all I want
Something more than superficial is all I want
Sex, drugs and rock and roll that’s all I want

EDEN

Jonathon Ng (born 23 December 1995), better known by his stage name EDEN, is an Irish electronic music producer turned singer-songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. He formerly operated as The Spab Project, and would upload random songs and projects onto SoundCloud. After he had outgrown that phase, he changed his name to The Eden Project, an alias that was discontinued in 2015. Ng’s work as The Eden Project typically featured more conventional styles of electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass, while EDEN saw him venturing into a more indie pop style. He made this alias change in April 2015, after the release of Final Call.

In an interview for Billboard, EDEN gives a little information about himself. He didn’t enjoy his school’s music subjects, yet started writing music at the early age of 7 or 8, and even performed in a band with some of his friends at the age of 13 or 14.

EDEN’s main inspirations are varied. He enjoyed Rihanna while at school, whereas his current musical inspiration ranges from Kendrick Lamar to even Hans Zimmer.
