Highlight Reel

Just a silly little pop rock song. The main difference this time, I guess, was that I programmed the bass part in by hand, rather than modifying a loop or playing my annoying midi keyboard.
Lyrics:
Friday night at home alone again, so much free time
Scrolling through my phone as a defense, against my mind
I see some pics of your trip to Belize, Just a glance
But was it just as perfect it seems, not a chance
How many times did you fight?
Who ate the pork and crapped right in their pants
Did someone miss their flight?
I wanna know what really happened
Stop showing me your highlight reel
I know your life can’t be that picture perfect
How could I ever say I know you
If all you show me is your highlight reel
The neighbor’s yard looks like a magazine, perfect grass
Effortlessly always looks pristine, they got class
But if you walk up close you’ll realize, what do you see?
All the plants are fake, like a disguise, well fuck me
Couldn’t you just keep it real?
How much did the makeover really cost
Why do you think you have to be ideal?
I wanna know what you’re really like
Stop showing me your highlight reel
I know your life can’t be that picture perfect
How could I ever say I know you
If all you show me is your highlight reel
