The Shipping Theory

#The Shipping Theory

[Verse 1]
A thought hits me at midnight:
“I need one of those.”
Three days and thirty tabs in,
with each click, the craving grows.

I compare until I’m certain:
it’s a need I can’t deny.
Then a flash sale hits my screen:
“I’d be mad to pass it by!”

[Chorus]
I want it. I get it.
Just because.
The wait lasts longer
than the fun ever does.
I shelve it. I sell it.
Here we go again!

[BREAK]

[Verse 2]
Tracking, coffee. Tracking, coffee.
Still no change. Refresh once more.
“Yes, I was home! You never knocked!”
Back on hold, just like before.

Pick it up. Unbox and tinker.
One more forum, one more guide.
Now I know its every secret.
Nothing left I haven’t tried.

[Bridge with lead guitar]
It was gonna change my life.
Now it’s buried in a drawer.
ebay: “Like new.”
Found something better to explore.

[Chorus]
I want it. I get it.
Just because.
The wait lasts longer
than the fun ever does.
I shelve it. I sell it.
Here we go again!

[Chorus]
I want it. I get it.
Just because.
The wait lasts longer
than the fun ever does.
I shelve it. I sell it.
Here we go again!

[Outro, almost spoken]
Oops… just spotted something new…
Who cares!
