Letra:
That's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old newsThat's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old newsShe says she's not looking for a partner
Next month she's dating someone hotter
I'm cute to everyone but not her
That's how it goesHe says you wanna bang for one night
I say not my idea of fun, like
Next day he goes makeouts are fine, right
That's how it goesEverywhere I go, Everyone I know,
Just another comedy about to start
Won't someone tell me how to play my stupid part
Look like I belong
Try to learn the words by heart
Then I say them wrongI used to think there was a trick, that there was a key
Something everybody knew but me, but I've come to see
Life's a circus and we're doomed to be
Clowning until we kick the bucket and then we're freeThat's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old newsThat's just how
How it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old newsBreakup was back in 2019
Since then I've fallen in a routine
See someone new, no words, break down
The saddest thing you've ever seenIt's like a shitty B-rate movie
So bad you feel a little sorry
For everyone who's in the show
And I would knowI guess I'll get lost in a story
Roleplay's the way, I won't be sorry
Then bam, DM gives us a hottie
And I'm too scared to flirt (Goddammit)I guess I'm doomed to make no progress
Let's face the truth, I'm just a hot mess
I'll probably always be anxious
And life will always hurtThat's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old newsThat's just how, how it moves
Life's a mind game, with no rules
You will win till you lose
Same old story, same old news(One)

Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)
This song came to me as I was waiting for the bus, the day after someone I barely knew hit on me, even though I had not remotely expressed interest—and then tried it again after I told him no.
The song quickly evolved into a great big vent about the year and a half starting in late 2019, a period that was chock full of romantic encounters that were almost hilariously terrible in hindsight.
There are times when life just feels like playing a game without knowing the rules, and nowhere more than in the realm of romance and dating. I’m just too socially-inept to know how to handle all this confusing nonsense.
I hope the song is enjoyable; it would be the one good thing to come of all of it.
