Out of Money

Out of Money is a 2019 promotional single from Wesley Evans. The song was released in combination with another promotional single, Lost in Life. These songs served as the lead songs off of his third EP, We Came Unprepared.

Background
We Came Unprepared was based off of a poem that Evans' made for him as a joke. She wrote an acrostic poem about college. Evans looked at this for a while, but never wanted to do anything with it. After he finished writing the songs for Satisfied, Evans felt as though this acrostic poem would be fun to work with. He thought that it would be a fun challenge to make that poem the tracklist for a project.

Composition
Out of Money is an electropop song that contains a loud, "buzzy" bass, and reverbed drums. The song is written in the key of A major, at 88 beats per minute, and lasts for 3 minutes and 35 seconds. The song follows the chord progression: A-f#m-D-bm.

Lyrics
I’d like some new shoes

But I can’t afford ‘em, ‘ford ‘em

I’d want a new phone

But I can’t afford one, ‘ford one

I need my own car

So I can escape this place

But I can’t afford it, ‘ford it

You keep taking things from my life

But soon there will be nothing left

Cause I'm

Out of time

out of hope

I’m out of money

Out of love

out of peace

Oh how you drain me

I’d like to have friends

But I can’t afford ‘em, ‘ford ‘em

I want a lover

But I can’t afford one, ‘ford one

I need sanity

So I can escape my head

But I can’t afford it, ‘ford it

You keep taking things from my life

Soon there will be nothing left

Cause I'm

Out of time

out of hope

I’m out of money

Out of love

out of peace

Oh how you drain me

Am I asking for too much

Cause I am not getting a break

I’m not trying to be spoiled

I’m just trying to be happy

Money won’t buy happiness

Or at least that’s what you say

I won’t know cause I have neither

You act like you’re helping me

But you’re just leaving me

Out of time

out of hope

I’m out of money

Out of love

out of peace

Oh how you drain me
