Lyrics Shave It All Off - Mike Posner

Our story begins in a los angeles mansion
That ageing artist mike posner is renting for the week
He's in la to write songs for other, more famous artists
We join him as his barber Tracy arrives at the mansion to give him a haircut
"What up doe Tracy?"
"Hey Mike! Welcome back to la! How u doing?"
I guess I'm famous again
Shave off the beard
I think when we do it its gon take off a year
Privacy for press the trade off is weird
But really its my last chance to stave off the fear of being famous again
Got me back in LA
I sold my house here but I can't get away
I got a session today with a singer Jessie J
I'm renting this mansion where I'll stay
Turn your head this way
So how you want it cut
Well, I think that the green is played
And to be honest I've been feeling kinda off these days
Its something happening inside me I can feel the change
These ppl want a fucking show? Okay
Shave it all off
Hey, Mike are-are you okay? Are you sure?
Just shave it all off
As your barber I gotta shoot you straight
This isn't going to look good your making a mistake
And who are you to tell me that I'm wrong (I'm just trying to be your friend and let you know)
I never really liked you anyway (Mike thats not true take that back)
Just shave it all off
Your just another girl now with a song (Mike chill out)
And I'm just another sad man in LA (Don't say that come on)
So hows noelle doing anyways
T we broke up in may
Serious? I didn't know, are you okay?
Yeah I'm okay
What happened
Didn't take that long to figure out it wasn't working
She was sad I was touring wasn't worth it
Thats tough how'd you word it?
Well I texted her tha-
You texted her?
I know I'm a bad person
But it all felt cursed when she would sit around and drink and shit
You can't be rescued by a sinking ship
Thats true
So I pushed what I loved away (Why?)
Some ppl can't take LA (Come on)
I guess that I was one of them (Thats bullshit)
Its not bullshit i'm one of them (I think u messed up)
But who are you to tell me that i'm wrong
She never really liked me anyway
Just shave it all off
She's just another girl now with a song
And I'm just another sad man in LA
Okay
Shave it all off
Okay here goes
Do you want the top a little longer? Like maybe a number 1 or some- number 2?
Just shave it all off
Okay you don't have to yell
Someones moody today
Chill out y'know
I'm really sorry tracy I-I didn't mean to yell at I just-
Mike I know you're under pressure
Yeah
But you should take it easy
I know
Hey, whats that on your dresser?
Nothing just a bottle of cologne
Nah, next to that
Hey tracy just leave it alone
Okay, wheres your session at?
Paramount on santa monica at 2
Meeting blackbear for dinner for dinner in the valley when its through
Well, your hair's done look in the mirror
Nah I don't need to people who stare into mirrors are all see through
Well, let me wipe the hair from ur face its all messy
Its fine i'm bout to shower I got this session with Jessie
