“No Soft Launch” lyrics
No Soft Launch
No Soft Launch
Rooftop shoot, phone full of drafts
Three captions waiting in a row
Everybody asks when I'm coming back
Like I need permission for the show
New hair, new team, new number
Camera wants a careful tease
I look at every polished preview
Then delete them all with ease
No Soft Launch, I came in loud
No Soft Launch, a crowd won't help
If I have to preview it, it wasn't ready
No Soft Launch, watch me walk in steady
No Soft Launch
No Soft Launch
I enter through the main room
No countdown, no mysterious post
People turn because I'm present
Not because somebody raised the toast
Photographer asks for the first shot
I tell him catch me when I laugh
Real life looks better moving
Than staged behind a little app
I spent too long announcing
Versions I had not become
If I have to preview it, it wasn't ready
That phone full of drafts gave it away
No Soft Launch, open every door
No Soft Launch, I'm not hinting anymore
If I have to preview it, it wasn't ready
No Soft Launch, I'm already here
No Soft Launch
No Soft Launch
No Soft Launch
Rooftop shoot, phone full of drafts
Three captions waiting in a row
Everybody asks when I'm coming back
Like I need permission for the show
New hair, new team, new number
Camera wants a careful tease
I look at every polished preview
Then delete them all with ease
No Soft Launch, I came in loud
No Soft Launch, a crowd won't help
If I have to preview it, it wasn't ready
No Soft Launch, watch me walk in steady
No Soft Launch
No Soft Launch
I enter through the main room
No countdown, no mysterious post
People turn because I'm present
Not because somebody raised the toast
Photographer asks for the first shot
I tell him catch me when I laugh
Real life looks better moving
Than staged behind a little app
I spent too long announcing
Versions I had not become
If I have to preview it, it wasn't ready
That phone full of drafts gave it away
No Soft Launch, open every door
No Soft Launch, I'm not hinting anymore
No Soft Launch
