gareth.t - boyfriend material (official video)

to be honest, dating has always been a struggle for me. for one, i'm short and for two, i have subpar fashion sense, so my options are limited. i wrote this song after a few failed attempts at finding love. i was really sad. fortunately i met my gf @moonstyles_ not that long ago. but even she, who even though is way shorter than me, kept saying that it'd be ideal if i was a lil taller. hmmm.......i guess even she don't think i'm boyfriend material (・〜・)

Just found out you exist from my friend and he recommended me this song , and this is on repeat on my SoundCloud. Now I'm here again. The only thing that itches my brain rn is the sound of you singing "Syllables" . It oddly feels good.
