the greatest films of all time were never made


Talking to your best friends through a social media app

Short, quick ending conversations, all sent through a snap


Spend more than ten hours a day staring at your phone

Keep it hidden close to you, it's scary to be alone


Your parents are telling you to go out and see the world

They hate that you always do exactly what you're told


Create unrealistic fantasies about when you can drive

Reading books where the main characters are living out your dream life


There it is again, that funny feeling, that funny feeling

There it is again, that funny feeling, that funny feeling


Five hours on netflix, another five spent on youtube

Stay inside your room all day, don’t even want to move


Wanting to change yourself, hating how you look

Wondering if anyone else will ever read you like a book


Googling easy fixes for your deepest insecurities

On most days it feels like you are your worst enemy


Feeling like you’re not enough, they say she’s just a stupid teen

Have no motivation to even keep your own room clean


There it is again, that funny feeling, that funny feeling

There it is again, that funny feeling, that funny feeling

I didn't think Bo Burnham's lyrics could get more relatable, but you made them hit so, so close to home.
