I dont want to be someones friend with benefits.
I dont want to be someones maybe, someones almost, someones just-for-tonight, someones thing.
I dont want a temporary commitment with no rules or real purpose, no substance or genuine affection.

God & Man
I dont want to be a person whos disposable, thrown away when the next one comes along.
I want to mean something, to matter, to have a connection beyond the physical, the replaceable.
I dont just want to touch skin, but leave our minds wandering somewhere else, unattached, uninterested.

I dont want to waste time, falling into something that feels empty, purposeless.
I dont want a hookup, I want something real.
I want the kind of intimacy that spills over to every secret, every fear, every dream.

God & Man
So Im opting out of the hookup culture.
I dont want any part of that.
Our world has become instantaneous, wanting something right here, right now.

Were too timid to take the time to get to know people.
Were too nervous to show someone our pasts.
And Id rather hold out for that.
Who appreciates me for who Iam, not what I can give.
Im opting out of the hookup culture.
Because I deserve that.Because I dont want to settle for anything less.
