Charli XCX – ​anthems lyrics
[Intro]
Hello

[Verse 1]
I'm so bored (Woo)
Wake up late, eat some cereal
Try my best to be physical
Lose myself in a tv show
Staring out to oblivion
All my friends are invisible
Twenty-four seven, miss 'em all
I might cry like a waterfall
I feel afraid when I feel alone, yeah, uh
Have sex, me and my Romeo
He says I'm irresistible
I'm gassed up like I'm Texaco
I ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride it
Sometimes, I feel okay, some days, I'm so frightened

[Chorus]
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
I sleep, wanna wake up brand new
I sleep, wanna wake up with you (You)
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
Finally, when it's over
We might be even closer, uh, uh

[Verse 2]
Uh, uh, uh, uh
These days exhausting
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Go online shopping
I'm so uninspired, I just wanna breathe
Flowers and the trees, dirt all on my knees
Got some hands to hold on to
I get existential and so strange
I hear no sounds when I'm shouting
I just wanna go to parties
Up high, wanna feel the heat from all the bodies

[Chorus]
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
I sleep, wanna wake up brand new
I sleep, wanna wake up with you (You)
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
Finally, when it's over
We might be even closer, uh, uh

[Bridge]
We might, we might, we might, we might, we might
We might, we might, we might, we might, we might
We might, we might, we might, we might, we might
Yeah

[Chorus]
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
I sleep, wanna wake up brand new
I sleep, wanna wake up with you (You)
I want anthems
Late nights, my friends, New York
Finally, when it's over
We might be even closer, uh, uh
