ÊMIA - dumb luck/my stupid feelings (Official Live Performances)
Two experiences inspired 'dumb luck' and 'my stupid feelings'. First, is the emotional exhaustion of putting myself out there. Second, the soul-crushing embarrassment that is catching feelings for someone and acting utterly uncool because of it. When thinking about where to record a live performance music video, I wanted a spot where I could imagine myself going through that first-date anxiety all over again. Here we are at pinkFROG Cafe in Williamsburg with all of my friends. I hope you love this video as much as I had fun making it.
My bandmates, Marc and Wyatt, and I arranged these stripped-down versions of dumb luck and my stupid feelings together in a little rehearsal room in Greenpoint.

DUMB LYRICS:
just breathe
it’s gonna be alright
who knows maybe this time…like
at the place, on this night, could be how it changes
right now you’re meeting strangers
I know it hurts, worse than losing a fist fight
so I’m
flipping over pennies when it’s tails up
you and I could use a little dumb luck
glass half empty
fill my own cup
I’m sad but I’m optimist
we just need
a way to get out of our heads
(hey I’m doing this new thing where I..)
Care
but I care less
fall for somebody by accident
sweat I’m never stressing bout that again
scared
but I’m saying yess
letting go’s my new strategy
no plan sounds like a plan to me
just wait
might happen on a Monday
you run and catch the right train
stand right across the right face
don’t know when and I don’t how
but any day any day now
flipping over pennies when it’s tails up
you and I could use a dumb luck
glass half empty fill my own cup
I’m sad but I’m optimist
we just need
a way to get out of our heads
care a little less, care a little less
I’m scared as hell but I’m saying yes
letting go is my new strategy
care a little less
care a little less
I’m trust falling in an accident
letting go, sounds like a plan to me
my stupid feelings lyrics:
Heard you’re sick
Can I make you feel better
Bring you soup
I could knit you a sweater
I know
I know
I know
I’m being too much
You say love doesn’t work
But I still believe it does
And I think it’s my job to change your mind
You never want to stay the night
I see turning out the light
And I should run but my
But my
My stupid feelings and I
Are here
To come and crash the party
Ignoring the signs
You made clear
It’s all my fault I’m sorry for
My feelings and I
My stupid feelings and I
Can’t just have a good time
My stupid feelings and I
oooh
You wanted fun with no strings attached
I did my best to try to work like that
I had a few but then I wanna come back
I just wanna come back to you
My stupid feelings and I
Are here
To come and crash the party
Ignoring the signs
You made clear
It’s all my fault and I’m sorry
My feelings and I
My stupid feelings and I
My feelings and I
My stupid feelings and I
Are telling me to stay with you every night
To follow you around
Go the extra mile
One day you’ll see me when I least expect it
One day maybe you’ll be
Just as obsessed
My stupid feelings and I
Are here
To come and crash the party
Ignoring the signs
You made clear
It’s all my fault and I’m sorry
My feelings and I
My stupid feelings and I
My feelings and I
My stupid feelings and I
