Famous To Seven
Seventy thousand people saw my face
Seven would notice if I disappeared for days That's a strange little
number when you say it out loud I wanted an audience I
think I accidentally found a crowd
(Ten... hundred... thousand...)
Numbers going up, everybody says that's good Refreshing little graphs like a
normal person would Somebody in Ohio knows a thing I made Meanwhile
my real friend calls,
I say I'll call you back someday That's funny
Actually, that's terrible Make something successful,
suddenly you're measurable Views got commas,
conversations getting short Whole world keeping score
I forgot what game this was for
I'M FAMOUS TO SEVEN PEOPLE TONIGHT!
Seven know the stories that I never put online
Seventy thousand might remember what I write But seven know the difference
between I'm good and I'm alright Let the whole world watch me
reaching for the light I'M FAMOUS TO SEVEN PEOPLE TONIGHT!
(SEVENTY THOUSAND!) That's cool (SEVENTY THOUSAND!) But do they know me?
Don't get me wrong,
I want the numbers getting stupid Want the room packed out,
want proof that I can do it Want a million people screaming
something that I made I'm not gonna fake humility and say I
hate getting paid But applause ain't a phone call when your whole
week goes wrong A follower ain't somebody who knew you all along
Strangers know the chorus,
real ones know the verse Know who I was before it worked
and when it fucking hurt
Seven
That's not many (It's enough) ...Maybe
Who knew me broke? (SEVEN!)
Who knew me lost?
(SEVEN!) Who'll know me if the numbers drop?
(SEVEN!) Who gets the call
when I finally make it?
Seven
I'M FAMOUS TO SEVEN PEOPLE TONIGHT!
Whole world getting bigger but my circle's getting tight Let seventy thousand
turn to seven million eyes I still know who's coming with me
when they finally dim the lights I WANT THE CROWD!
I WANT THE HEIGHT!
I WANT THE NUMBERS OUT OF SIGHT!
But if everything disappears tomorrow night I'M STILL FAMOUS TO SEVEN PEOPLE
AND THAT'S ALRIGHT (SEVEN!) Real ones (SEVEN!) My people (SEVEN!) That's enough
(SEVEN!) They knew me first
