Quit Your Day Job is the second single releasing from Summer's forthcoming record, Aggregator - due April 2024. The song was inspired by Summer's own life, leaving her day job in 2022 to pursue music full time.
lyrics
oh no
i squeezed til i rung it dry
oh no
i squeezed out all the joy
oh no
i squeezed til i rung it dry
oh no
i squeezed out all the joy
oh no
i crushed til i made a mess
oh no
i linked passion and stress
cycling again, cycling again
cycling again, cycling again
i don’t really think i’ll see an end
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
work so i work so i work so i'm
cycling again, cycling again
cycling again, cycling again
i don’t really think i’ll see an end
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
work so i work so i work so i can play later can play later
I don’t build up credit, quit your day job
(can play later)
oh no
i pushed til i felt it tear
oh no
steady routine beware
oh no
i pressed til i saw it shred
oh no
banal to halfway dead
oh no
i squeezed til i rung it dry
oh no
i squeezed out all the joy
cycling again, cycling again
cycling again, cycling again
i don’t really think i’ll see an end
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
work so i work so i work so i'm
cycling again, cycling again
cycling again, cycling again
i don’t really think i’ll see an end
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
as the sun descends, as the sun descends
work so i work so i work so i can play later can play later
I don’t build up credit, quit your day job
(can play later)
