PAX - Sunshine & rainbows

〈intro〉
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, wait
Real pretty face, but she give me bad vibes
Oh baby, why you talking? you just wasted all my time
I'm running from something, i don't know what it is
I'm turning something i hate into something that i could miss

〈chorus〉
You not always gonna feel like it's sunshine and rainbows
And sometimes i can't deal with all the bs on my table
It gets hard, what the hell, we gon' ball if we want to
I got baddies in my dms telling me "skippy, i want you"
I don't want ya
I don't need ya
And so just leave me
I've been tryna find a way that i could be myself
We went to a party and i left by myself
A couple hours later, hit me up saying i'm selfish
I know that it's a problem but i'm sorry, i can't help it
Everybody's toxic it's not good for my health
I need help
Nobody's gon' wonder why i don't pick up myself
I blame myself for all my friendships that go to hell
'cause i'm the one who tells them that i need to be by myself
〈verse〉
I wish i could be some way
I wish i could be enough
Somebody you could love
With all you heart and with mind
I've been tryna tell myself i don't got to live in sorrow
But when you try to hit my phone, your number blocked again, don't call
May you forgive me for my sins?
No i'm not perfect, i'm not close to halfway there
Like ooh, you knew that i've been broken up inside
And you still left me here to die
Don't hit me up even if you miss me
Bangin' on my line, you heard i'm driftin' in a six speed
It gets hard to cope these days, people always lying
I've been tryna tell myself that they don't care 'bout me, but

〈chorus〉
You not always gonna feel like it's sunshine and rainbows
And sometimes i can't deal with all the bs on my table
It gets hard, what the hell, we gon' ball if we want to
I got baddies in my dms telling me "skippy, i want you"
I don't want ya
I don't need ya
And so just leave me
I've been tryna find a way that i could be myself
We went to a party and i left by myself
A couple hours later, hit me up saying i'm selfish
I know that it's a problem but i'm sorry, i can't help it
Everybody's toxic it's not good for my health
I need help
Nobody's gon' wonder why i don't pick up myself
I blame myself for all my friendships that go to hell
'cause i'm the one who tells them that i need to be by myself

Pax is a Chicago-area rock band consisting of members Andrew Jacob (vocals, rhythm guitar), Troy Retsky (lead guitar), Michael Jacob (bass), and Kyle Retsky (piano, drums). Growing up in Chicago in the early 2000s never contributed to anyone’s connection to the music of the mid- to late twentieth century, but that didn’t stop these two sets of brothers from forming a love of the music of yesterday – a love that has since developed into a passion to turn it back into the music of today. Pax plays the rock and roll of their predecessors without foregoing the advancements of modern music that have influenced countless genres. This, on top of their invigorating performances and a knack for writing songs that emanate classic rock nostalgia while still bringing a fresh perspective to the genre, is what makes Pax a commanding force in modern rock. Pax released its first EP in December 2017, achieving moderate success with its title track “The Mango Tree.” In 2019, Pax released “Projections,” their debut LP, which was headlined by the wistful pop-rock ballad “No Clue.” The band was born in 2015 in Mount Prospect, Illinois, when Andrew Jacob started organizing jam sessions with high school classmates. Among them was Troy Retsky, a guitarist whose musical inspirations of the 70s contribute to his powerful solos and electric fills. Troy’s brother Kyle, a drummer and pianist, had written a number of songs with Troy and began working with Andrew and his brother, Money, as Pax. Since then, they have continued to spread the music they love with an undeniable passion.
