Our Strange New Addiction

We never thought we’d say this… But we think we got ourselves a problem. We lived life mostly steady, kept the wild nights few Didn’t chase every neon light like half the town would do We saved our time for projects, family, faith, and friends Thought we had temptation beat before it could begin We skipped the crazy parties, didn’t need that scene Didn’t buy new phones every time they hit the screen We waved at all the neighbors, helped when times got tough Thought we had self-control… turns out not enough We thought we dodged the danger Every risky road in sight But something snuck up on us Late one quiet night… We don’t drink, we don’t smoke, we don’t run with a wild crowd But we stay up at 2AM singing way too loud We don’t party, we don’t bar hop, we don’t close down the town But we’re hooked on writing songs and we can’t put it down We tried to live addiction-free… we tried to do it right Now we’re hopelessly addicted to creating every night It started kinda innocent, just telling stories true Laughing, crying, sharing all the things that we went through We wrote about our love and every blessing from above Every little memory wrapped in gratitude and love Now I’m waking in the midnight with a melody in mind Checking all the comments like I’m searching for a sign I’m late for work and wondering, “Is today a weekday?” You say, “Who cares, grab coffee… we got lyrics to replay!” We thought we dodged temptation Every risky road in sight But inspiration hit us Like lightning every night We don’t drink, we don’t smoke, we don’t run with a wild crowd But we stay up at 2AM singing way too loud We don’t party, we don’t bar hop, we don’t close down the town But we’re hooked on writing songs and we can’t put it down We tried to live addiction-free… we tried to do it right Now we’re hopelessly addicted to creating every night We made people laugh We made people cry We thanked the Lord above For this beautiful life Every story we remember Every moment we relive If this is our addiction… It’s the best one we could give Are we supposed to work today? Is it Monday? Is it Saturday? Do we care? Nope. We got another song idea! We don’t drink, we don’t smoke, we don’t run with a wild crowd But we stay up at 2AM singing way too loud We don’t party, we don’t bar hop, we don’t close down the town But we’re hooked on writing songs and we can’t put it down We tried to live addiction-free… we tried to do it right Now we’re hopelessly addicted to creating every night So if you see us yawning with a sunrise cup of coffee… Just know we wrote another song. 🎵
